Sony s new PS5 beta program available for early access

PlayStation announced a new beta program that has been specifically created to provide access to game betas and test the cool new features. These are the features which were previously not available for general use on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation App.

Beta Program at PlayStation is thus the company’s equivalent of the MSN Xbox Insider program. It also serves the same purpose for its gaming world. The ambiguous description which may leave readers guessing as to what Sid Shuman wrote on the PlayStation Blog creates great interest in the Post. 

It added, “It’s a pretty straightforward, centralized platform for you to express your interest in a variety of upcoming PlayStation betas.” Now, players will be able to register from the site dedicated to the program to stay updated on future Sony beta opportunities.

The participants of the Beta Program at PlayStation can have reasons to look forward to being part of software betas that Sony organizes for the PlayStation platform. According to the PlayStation Blog, this includes beta tests for PS5 and PC games, new features for the PS5 console and PlayStation App, and enhancements to the user interface on PlayStation.com

Such strategies help organizations like Sony to gauge or test run games, even before rollout, to ensure that beta testing is fully utilized in all aspects by fans. As of now, the Beta Program is also within a dedicated site, the Beta Program at PlayStation, but as of this writing, it is not live. 

It is an online platform where excited fans of PlayStation can get done with the sign-up process without spending a buck. For example, on the site, they can meet the age and location requirements and maintain an active PlayStation Network account without restrictions or violations for having a spot in the beta testing program.
