Sign-ups for the PS4 System Software 4.5 beta are live

We honestly have no clue what new features that Sony may be planning on adding to the next major PS4 System Software update but those who want to sign up to test it next month can do so beginning today: right here.

We’re not sure what the codename is, but it’ll apparently be labeled as System Software 4.5.  Either way, it sounds like we’ll find out all about it in the somewhat near future.

Read on for the post from the PS Blog for all the available details.

It?s nearly time for another major system software update for PS4, and we could use your help beta-testing before it launches. Starting today, you can sign up for a chance to be a beta tester and get an advance look at some of the improvements and new features coming to PS4.

You can register to be a beta tester anytime between today and the start of the beta in early February. Users must be 18 years or older. Once the beta starts, we?ll close registration.

Beta testers for our last system software update, 4.00, got to see things like our overall PS4 UI refresh, Folders, the revised Quick Menu, and much more before launch.

If you?re part of the program, you?ll receive an email with instructions on downloading the beta version of the next system software. In order to sign up, you?ll need a PS4 with an internet connection, and access to a Master Account. And remember ? you can roll back to the previous system software at any time.

We?ll be back soon with an update on the features you can expect in the beta.

Many thanks to everyone signing up ? especially our returning beta testers! You?re helping us make the system software update even better.
