People keep saying "lol there's nothing" when the reality is, the firmware update is 400MB+ for this beta phase 2. There's obviously something in there.
Other than name changes what big features are people looking for? I can't actually think of a single thing the Switch has in their barebones OS
And the name changes will come, this update should be the last chance to happen this year.
Refactored the PlayStation 4 Online Subsystem engine plugin to support PlayStation 4 SDK version 4.008.061.
Deprecated the use of "Sce Np Online Id," replacing it with "Sce Np Account Id," as per Sony's recommendation. Online users are now exclusively identified by their "Sce Np Account Id."
Simplified the handling of unique net IDs across the PS4 online subsystem.
Switched from "Np Toolkit" to "Np Toolkit2," to support the new APIs which work with "Sce Np Account Id."
Added asynchronous name resolution to convert between "Sce Np Online Id" and "Sce Np Account Id," using Sony's ID mapper web interface.
For PlayStation 4 online users, the "To String" and "Get Bytes" functions in "Unique Net Id" now return the user's "Sce Np Account Id."
Previously these functions returned the user's "Sce Np Online Id." Any custom online code or services backend will need to handle identifying users by their "Sce Np Account Id," as according to Sony's recommendations.
If required, the "Sce Np Online Id" for local users and friends can be obtained via the "Get Display Name" interface in "Online User."
I received the email but when I go to the setting and click on update there's nothing there to download anyone else with this problem
There was no code in the email said something would be in my notifications tab but nothings there
My email said I'd get a notification when the update is available and wouldn't need a code. In the US.I received the email but when I go to the setting and click on update there's nothing there to download anyone else with this problem

For the size probably not.If Beta won't have anything consumer facing, I'm sure the Charlie version will.
BTW, a lot of people are overreacting. Do you really think there will be nothing?

It literally says in the OP that there are no new user-facing features as of the current beta.
Getting into various menus (notifications, trophies) feels a lot snappier and faster. A welcome improvement if they actually improved those areas.
maybe, idk. It's the only difference I've noticed but I'm thankful for it ahaWe always get these reports for every major update. Usually placebo haha. Don't these updates force a database rebuild?
Yeah. Every beta has felt really fast to me. Sometimes the final release actually feels a lot slower than the beta and it bums me out LOLWe always get these reports for every major update. Usually placebo haha. Don't these updates force a database rebuild?
Didn't get to sign up (EU) and still have one in my inbox god bless
word. :P
A quick note for extended storage users. If you download the beta and decide to roll back to the previous software, your extended storage will not work and have to be restored and reformatted to use again, according to the beta notes..
This sounds scary. Is it really just external that it mentions?Yes, there's definitely something new under the hood. The system warns that in case you need to revert back to 5.55, your external hdd won't be recognised, thus requiring a reformat.
Yes, only external storageThis sounds scary. Is it really just external that it mentions?
