PS4 firmware 7.00 Beta (Codes going out now)

[Lokimaster]

we just had a beta update for 16 player party chat. it wasnt called 7.00 tho. it was 6.80.
looks like they are adding features

 

[Lukemia SL]

wake me up when they update their shitty way of having to delete more space than needed to download or update a game

Yeah this, GT Sport and Destiny are killing me with this. Small updates having me have to delete full size games.

Seriously. I understood ps2/ps3 but give me all the psone games on the store please. With a good upscaling would be a dream. Sony please.

It is even shameful.
Sony celebrated the PlayStation's birthday a lot during PS4 period, and ironically it has almost no PSone games available on the console ...

 

[Sangetsu-II]

what's in the update that we don't have yet?

 

[TheZynster]

can they just integrate discord next gen please.......would be really helpful for games such as FFXIV!!!!

 

[Militaratus]

Thanks for sharing.

I thought the party stuff was in the last closed beta?

Just got an email with a code, I like to be a guinea pig for these things 😶

[only_fools_&_horses]

US code?

 

[IamPeacock]

So no 1440p support again?
I'm going to quit hoping, maybe they'll implement it in PS5

 

[STech]

Can someone sum up the news on this update?

 

[Miles Davis]

Yo we really need volume levels for all party members. This needs to be a thing.

 

[Sarobi]

Did the party chat update ever go live? or is that still beta

 

[Jakartalado]

Boosting to 16 needs a beta?

The restart stuff is interesting but... there's not much updates to make this uncomfortable

Yeah this is silly, Xbox is miles ahead in this type of support that winks at the PC, PS is still anchored to TV standards.
I remember how Xbox 360 had the support to 1360x768 too, on my old Sony TV it looked great, like plugging a PC on it.

[btw who the hell asked for 16 ppl in one voice chat, what a mess]

Isn't the U.S. currently in the same beta? I got a code last month. Did the update go live?

 

[RPGamer92]

Fuck if there's still no time log. Betas don't reveal everything in a firmware right?

 

[The Last One]

Posting so I can see the hidden content.

 

[OneThirtyEight]

So i decided to try this beta, never done it before. I redeemed my code but i don't think anything's happening. What do i do now to make it install?
EDIT: Found it in System software update in the Settings menu.

Bigger parties with better voice chat is the only novelty?

There's an hdr slide setting from what I read from reddit

Oh nice.
Does that mean every game that doesn't have HDR from devs will have forced HDR like forced supersampling for PS4 Pro? Or just for games that offer HDR but don't ofefr the option to tweak it?

 

[Alec]

Interested!

I think it's like a brightness slider for HDR, although 'brightness' is probably the wrong term for it. At least now we'll have an option of the HDR is too dark etc

[The6ixHokage]

[henhowc]

someone get a 16 player ERA chat going and twitch

 

[waterdrinkinggamer]

Hi i got a code for the beta and redeemed it but how do i download it?

edit: i got it. was under system software update

 

[Mengetsu]

Friend saying his is redeemed already?

Edit: If it says your code is redeemed already just go to the system settings and update. Looks like Sony is just sending it directly to your name now.

 

[Mejilan]

Isn't this basically round 2 of the 6.80 preview from a few weeks ago?
/scratches head

 

[scion14]

I'll give it a try and report back!

 

[ajcacio]

Downloaded and did the system wide HDR configuration...Red Dead 2 appears to be slightly improved in that my same game level HDR config seems just a bit less washed out.

Whoops just redeemed the code and then found out it locks out of parties. Am I all cool if I just don't download the update until after the weekend, or will I be locked out of parties?
