A new, centralized place for you to register your interest in future PlayStation betas, from testing participating PS5 and PC games, new PS5 console features, and more.

Over the years, many of you have participated in various beta programs across Sony Interactive, which has helped us deliver the best possible gaming experiences to gamers around the world. And we’re truly grateful for your participation.


That’s why I’m pleased to introduce the Beta Program at PlayStation initiative. It’s an easier, more consolidated way for gamers to sign up to participate in future PlayStation betas across a wide range of PlayStation experiences.


The Beta Program at PlayStation will create an easy, centralized place for you to register your interest in a range of future PlayStation betas. A single registration for Beta Program at PlayStation will allow you to express interest in gaining beta access to test participating games for the PS5 console and PC, new PS5 console features, PlayStation App features, and even user experience features on PlayStation.com. You only need to sign up once to express interest in these various betas, and if you receive an invitation to a specific beta, it’s up to you to decide whether you’d like to participate or not.


Here are the requirements:

• Players must have a valid account for PlayStation Network in good standing with a current email address. Accounts with restrictions or violations may not be eligible for participation.
• Players must live in the region where Beta Program at PlayStation is available.
• Players must meet the legal age requirement for their region.

It’s free to join and registration will begin to open up globally starting today at playstation.com/beta-program-at-playstation/. Please check back later if the page is not yet available in your region.


Additionally, while we try to include as many players as possible in our beta programs, sometimes we may get more interest than we can accommodate. By joining this program, it enables you to be considered for beta participation, but it doesn’t guarantee selection for a beta test. Just something to remember!


And again, a big thanks to those of you who have participated in all of the betas we’ve offered across Sony Interactive over the years. It’s about to get easier and more convenien

[Punished Miku]

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I thought the regular users were their beta testers. Confusing

 

[Hookshot]

Perfect for their fans.

PlayStation: For The Betas™

(I love my PS5 Pro this is just a joke lol)

 

[DJ12]

Maybe Xbox have signalled they are out of the console biz (high powered hybrid pc isn't a console) and instead of series owners beta testing MS games, they asked Sony to set this up instead.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Learned from Concord and preparing for the Marathon beta?

It and the Fairgame$ one. They had to do something and this was the thing to do.

 

[LordCBH]

I want to play a potential Marathon beta. I’ll sign up.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Don't forget Fairgame$

It and the Fairgame$ one. They had to do something and this was the thing to do.

Yeah, that one too, but I figured it got delayed til next year. Reportedly.

Topher We don't have to spin the age wheel like a final contestant on The Price is Right and we aren't even in the oldest bracket

 

[fart town usa]

They need to apply this across the board for VR titles. Sony QA is too forgiving and the VR devs are too quick to rush stuff out. It's a bad cycle

 

[FeralEcho]

LIt says the page doesn't exist. Anyone else with the same issue?

It lives up to it's name then

 

[Elios83]

Signed in!
I'm sure they'll contact me for the Fairgame$ beta

 

[Dorfdad]

Just was accepted hoping I get to test the pc ps5 streaming app

 

[spons]

Sounds stupid to me. Instead of getting gamers to be free beta testers, Sony should pay people/professionals to do this.
Just ship your fucking products properly tested for fuck's sake.

 

[Dorfdad]

I’m one up from you old man! Go play checkers

 

[rofif]

is "shooter" just a multiplayer games?
Turns out I like: ACTION, RPG, HORROR.... nothing else

 

[AJUMP23]

Appropriate because PlayStation is full of Betas!

If you report this for console warring then you are lame an need to take a joke.

 

[cormack12]

Holy shit, to think I might get to beta test The Last of Us ReRemaster

[rofif]

ok signed.
BTW Everywhere I could find, my language is english.
Yet the psn websites are still in polish. Polish translation of gaming terms/styles etc are sooo bad.
if you guys want the site to be in english, swith first region code to yours. like pl-eng in website address.
Or if you know a better, global way, tell me

 

[Bartski]

going beta for Hermen

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Wheres the chad programme?

 

[xrnzaaas]

Never understood the appeal of being a free betatester, especially for some big company.

 

[mitch1971]

What gives. They did this years ago, so you didn't have to keep signing up to each beta. So, I have to sign up again?

 

[GymWolf]

I knew they were a bunch of betas when they rejected days gone 2.

 

[mitch1971]

Something went wrong.

Nice one, Sony.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Signed up.

 

[RoadHazard]

Hmm yeah, no, I'm not gonna do testing work for free I don't think.

 

[GHound]

Fuck that. I'll charge them the same rate I charge everyone else.

Truly the Beta program

 

[ReyBrujo]

It says the page doesn't exist. Anyone else with the same issue?

More like Alpha than Beta then...

 

[ResilientBanana]

It says the page doesn't exist. Anyone else with the same issue?

That's a beta for you.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Im in

Im going to reject all their beta invites just to fuck with them now though.

 

[reinking]

I used to beta test a lot of games/peripherals back in the day for consoles and PC. I was never paid but a lot of free swag. Those were the days. You had to actually apply for beta tests and people took them seriously.

 

[Fake]

Be the first to use your console for beta test unstable softwares. And the best part, all for free.

 

[Paulistano]

Such a nice gesture of Sony for us gamers they will allow us to work for free for them such generous attitude.

 

[Audiophile]

Remember being in a beta program on PS3, Resistance 2, Uncharted 2 etc.

Somehow, the concept doesn't excite me anymore..
