PS4 6.00 beta emails now rolling out
- Thread starter Vashetti
- Start date
It's very unlikely that Sony will roll out the feature without the ability to do it on the PS4.
Here we go!
Interesting though, that they say that there won't be features during the beta period. Shouldn't read too much into that though. :lol
Well, I'll install it.
I can't see the feature being added in a firmware beta because that would give some users priority access to new names. That would probably piss people off more. It would be a feature that goes live for everyone at once.
They aren't going to let a relative handful of gamers start changing names in a beta. If something is bugged or unstable it could lead to them losing their account and downloads. People back at base however could do such things.
Not that this beta necessarily has anything to do with name changes.
They're probably in there, just feature flagged until Gsmescom
so they've gone from naming milestone updates after legendary swords to this?
can we agree that the HW team is working on PS5 at this point?

Maybe this means that they won't be able to roll out all of their new amazeballs exciting PSN features because it would segregate the player base and they would have to run two sets of servers. Instead, all the great stuff will be on the full release!
PSN name changes, less lag on loading online related UI elements, 2FA with an app instead of SMS, and Plus no longer required to play online! Increase the hype!

Yeah could be also the case.
Just chill out people.It's not the first time that features are added at a later point.
I'm in the US and haven't seen one yet. Hopefully I made even though it's disappointing there aren't any customer-facing features this time.
They literally haven't even announced 6.0 officially yet, relax.
I know it says that there's no major consumer-facing features in the beta, but can someone with the beta pleeeeease check the display options and see if 1440p is an option now?
Bummer. I hope it's in the official firmware release, then.
(you're on Pro, rite?)
If there was no features to test they wouldn't have a beta, this is obviously them testing out in the background until beta 3 or 4 to check it isn't going to break everyone's ps4's in the beta.
You're getting a voucher code? My email says there is no code and that the update will pop up when it starts.
If you entered the code last time around, you're just auto-enrolled for future tests, so you don't need the code.
I think there's a reasonable chance that it will be. Sony knows that some of us game on monitors, and Xbox One S and X support 1440p. And it's not like it's some major technical hurdle, nor is it all that strange to hope that a gaming platform which supports 1080p and 4K also supports the most popular resolution inbetween those too. The main reason I use our Xbox One X over our PS4 Pro is because the XB1X looks amazing on my 1440p monitor and my PS4 Pro looks like shit on the same monitor. My Pro stays only playing exclusives a few times a year until support comes.
Interesting, seems like there's some major change under the hood but they're not ready to announce or enable those features right now, they still need people to test the stability of the whole thing.
Maybe they will announce something in late august or early september.

I agree but the reason why I'm not holding my breath is because Sony would rather push consumers towards 4K displays. But hey I won't complain if they do end up supporting it.
You got a great point, there. HOLDIN OUT HOPE THO but I'll definitely reign in my expectations.
It's unlikely because they have traditionally targeted TV resolutions and, as far as I know, there aren't any TVs with 1440p native resolution.
It was the same last generation where the Xbox 360 supported a variety of monitor resolutions over VGA whereas the PS3 only supported TV resolutions.
Shits about to get real stable
It's so stable it's scary and they need to test
Just got mine about half an hour ago.
They've added features late into betas before, I remember Boost Mode wasn't originally in that beta phase and they added in later. But still.. nothing to start the beta is lame.
Came here to say that I'm jealous because I don't think they even opened the EU registrations but then I saw that there is absolutely nothing in this update and I was like:
Okay, I got an invite so I'll bite. But this better lead to something. There is no way it's a number update and not something big. It would make sense that it's name change considering that is the type of feature that you don't want people to beta test. You would want that to be available to everyone at the same time.
