Ding ding ding!!! Not every API in the firmware is exposed to or built for games.

PS4 6.00 beta emails now rolling out
- Thread starter Vashetti
- Start date
Yes, guaranteed they are readying the name change thing for this year. You don't just magically get that out if you don't have to do huge changes to the code and firmware. I am sure considering their old network it is a gigantic change.
Its been 10 years and I just realized I dont even know what username I want
I hope they also purge a ton of dormant accounts because every good name is taken.
I hope we can add spaces between our names too.
Apparently, this beta does require a PSVR software update. No reports of any changes though.
Sooo I appear to have developed the BD read error since installing the update, if I use the update from safe mode process will it send me to 6.x or back to 5.5x?
With the update my first thought was that maybe they're adding something new for Gamescom, but I can't see anything.
I didn't get a code but just found out this morning that the search has been improved in the PS store.
I thought this was being tested in the firmware? they are already rolling it out it seems. Weird how they are introducing this firmware as there's no blogpost about features or anything.

If the big 6.0 update is nothing but a QWERTY keyboard, Sony will continue to cement themselves as being software incompetent.
Lol, a qwerty update would be fucking hilarious patch notes.
Dont worry, there will be more. No idea what. I'm on update 3 already, still can't see what is different.

No, fw6.0 isn't required for the new search as mentioned in the post directly above yours.
Not sure why people find Sony's firmware numbering so confusing this gen. They increment the version number annually. We are going to version 6 because we will soon enter the sixth year of PS4.
Anyway, no consumer-facing features is not the same as no features. One of the best PS3 updates appeared to have no features but we later discovered that a chunk of RAM had been freed up for use in games, and was a major reason why late gen games looked so good compared to earlier ones. Could be the same here, but we won't see the benefit until games are released that have been compiled against the v6.0 SDK.
I'm still holding on hope there is a surprise hidden within. A surprise worthy enough off it to be a secret, underwraps for a sizeable announcement. Haha, keep that fought.
Hopefully they can finally free up 500 mb more vram for the pro by getting rid of the 4k text when all the theme are native 1080p anyway. And add important features like dolby vision hdr and dolby atmos suppprt. Even Zoe 2 remaster support atmos on pc but not ps4 version.
You got it today?
Because I got 5.56 last Friday, but no one seemed to talk about it.
This is by far the weirdest beta ever. Realsing a beta for 6.00 with no changelogs then releasing a tiny update for the main one meanwhile. People thinking the keyboard serach in PS Store was for it but it was an internal app change just like Netflix and Youtube and thatw as changed too for main firmware. Now it is taking that long, even the longets period for testing than any beta, without any further notice about when the full version will come. I think they are still testing major things with it to come.
Don't get your hopes up. I don't see them adding anything significant with that little bump of a version.
Ah, I remember those days. I'm not sure how reliable the information was but insiders were all excited about RAM footprint going down. Things like the HDD subsystem going down from 5 to 3 MB were a big deal.
I also remember firmware 1.82 or so providing noticeable performance improvements in the XMB menu.
I don't think a console has ever gotten a full number update with no public facing features.
Developer centric updates occur all the time but they're done on the development kit side, not like this.
It's hard to imagine 6.0 not including name changing. Sean Layden basically announced at the PSX event last December the feature was coming this year.
