PS4 6.00 beta emails now rolling out
- Thread starter Vashetti
- Start date
Yep, they're just not ready to announce it. I expect a PSX reveal with an "available now" announcement since the feature would be already installed on all PS4's.
Xbox has some nice stuff like Dolby Atmos support, 1440p, FreeSync support, and achievement tracking.
And of course I'm hoping for improvements to PS Now to be more of a competitor to Game Pass (direct download of PS4 games and maybe a cheaper $10/month option if we don't opt for the PS3 game streaming).
Something like this was spotted a while back too (in late 2016) in the form of an Unreal Engine 4 update:

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
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?

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.
Edit: Guess we just gotta wait.
Do people in here speak and read English? Hell, it's not even my first language and it's clearly implied that the "interesting" (for a lack of better word) features will NOT be available during the BETA, but the public version of the update will have them.
I received an email earlier today that I had got into the beta. I signed into my PS4 when I got home from work and I had an event announcement. Clicking through that generated a code which I then lead to downloading the beta off the PS store. Haven't installed it yet, there was definitely a code involved.
Getting into various menus (notifications, trophies) feels a lot snappier and faster. A welcome improvement if they actually improved those areas.
So still no detailed features? Nothing spotted?
What about those who didn't receive emails? Will they get the update automatically via the system like in some previous betas?

Yeah just like I said, it's for a PSX "Available Now!!" announcement. This hidden feature will already be in all PS4's by then. Firmware 6.0 should be officially out in October I think. It all makes sense now.
No way they'd do a public closed beta testing for nothing but more stability.
Did anyone with EU accounts get invited? If so, can anyone please send me an invite or extra code for it? If not then from a NA account. Thanks.
Man I signed up as soon as you could and didn't get a code. I really wanted that beta emblem... :/
OP
OP
It literally says in the OP that there are no new user-facing features as of the current beta.
That is weird tbh. I hope they are preparing a big surprise and that announcement is just to make things more enigmatic. Because any 0.5 update bring new features.
We always get these reports for every major update. Usually placebo haha. Don't these updates force a database rebuild?
maybe, idk. It's the only difference I've noticed but I'm thankful for it aha
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 LOL
So EU accounts got emails too? That is very awkward. I didn't get mine. I sued to sign up for all betas before. Dunno why.
The strange thing is that beta sign up ddin't go live for Europe. Went for few hours only for Asian and NA regions. They never talked about in any PS Blog neither when signing up nor whent he beta went live and they used to talk about them before. Something is really enigmatic with this beta. I think Sony wants us to find the new features on our own (for the lucky ones who got in of course).
This sounds scary. Is it really just external that it mentions?
People really need to realize that beta does not automatically mean super amazing features right off the bat
