Genius PS5 trick gets you NEW features before everyone else

PLAYSTATION 5 owners can now bag new features earlier than their pals.

Sony has launched a special scheme that gives you special access to upcoming features – BEFORE they go live for everyone else.

Normally new features for gadgets and consoles are trialled internally – and then released to the world.

But some companies will let select users try out features early, to see if they work well.

Sony is doing just that with PS5 updates, and has launched a new PS5 System Software Beta Program.

Signing up is easy – we explain how below[/caption]

You can sign up for free, and you’ll be given early access to updates.

This means that when a beta update arrives, you’ll see features long before the general population.

“Since the launch of PS5, our teams have been working to continuously enhance your experience on the console,” Sony explained.

“Our last major PS5 system update in April introduce new features.

“Like USB extended storage, cross-generation Share Play, an improved Game Base and other UI enhancements and social features.

“We’ll share more in the coming weeks about what you can expect in the beta for our next update.”

To sign up, go to this link:

You’ll need to be over the age of 18 to get involved.

And you’ll need to be located in the UK, US, Canada, Japan, Germany and France.

If you’re selected, you’ll get an email with instructions on how to download the beta version of the software.

You’ll need a PS5 console with an internet connection, as well as a PlayStation Network account.

Once you’re in, you’ll be automatically added to the potential participant pool for future updates – so you won’t need to re-register each time.

You can also restore your system software to a non-beta version at any time.

Bear in mind that although beta tests are a great idea for gadget geeks, they can create some issues.

Beta software can be buggy, so you might find your PS5 exhibiting strange behaviour.
