PS4 6.00 beta emails now rolling out
- Thread starter Vashetti
- Start date
"System Software 6.00 does not include any major consumer-facing features during the beta period. You will find smaller quality of life and performance fixes."
Why do people think that it's actually bound to a fw update?
Well, I think we can all temper our expectations for this update accordingly.
TBH that sounds like something major(ish) is going on in the background before rolling out a feature.
But we're still going to get new features, right? Just that it's not part of the beta testing?
At this beta stage."System Software 6.00 does not include any major consumer-facing features during the beta period. You will find smaller quality of life and performance fixes."
why call it 6.00 then"System Software 6.00 does not include any major consumer-facing features during the beta period. You will find smaller quality of life and performance fixes."
"System Software 6.00 does not include any major consumer-facing features during the beta period. You will find smaller quality of life and performance fixes."
Talking about "QoL and performance fixes" on a beta, so dumb.
It says that it doesn't contain them at the beta period, not that 6.00 won't have any major features. The dream is still alive.
Although not quite sure what they want us to test lol. I'll download it tomorrow.

The US e-mail uses slightly different language that implies the beta will not include them at later stages, either.
Well...
So, there's still hope.

Wasn't it heavily rumoured that a system software update would go into beta in August and launch publicly in September that would be preparing under-the-hood configurations for compatibility with back-end settings regarding name changes and PS Now downloads on PS4?
But that sentence is even more clear about the final release will have them.
No email yet, but I'm strangely hoping I'll get one? I'll be playing my PS4 a good deal soon so I'd enjoy testing something in the process. It bums me out that others are seemingly only in this to play with new features rather than to actually test things.
hmm, idk why they'd want us to beta test stability, the whole point of a beta is to make sure features work right before public release. it's either the FW team being weird or theres some huge new feature that they knew would get out in a beta cause no-one takes the NDAs seriously.
Wish Playstation got firmware update rollouts like Xbox does.

it's probably the team being weird. there wasn't anything big in the 5.50 FW update either right?
I understand the confusion, everyone is so used to "beta" being demos now for game releases, so when an actual "beta" gets released in firmware everyone is confused that it doesn't have some awesome new feature like BC.
It's here for bug testing, if you don't want to bug test, the beta is not for you. Any major features will probably be added to future beta phases (since this is just beta 2 and we've seen up to 6 in the past). There's very likely some under the hood stuff they want to make sure is stable before they push out every new feature all at once.

On the Beta forum "At this Beta stage, the 6.00 update does not include any new major consumer-facing features."
So certainly some stuff will get added at a later stage. Maybe they're just trying to get the general stability going, which some don't really care about.
