PS4 Update 4.0 Beta Signups: What to Know

Advertisement

Sony (NYSE:SNE) is offering a system update for PS4 gamers.

PS4Users can access the device’s new piece of software as long as it is done anytime between today and early August, when the registration officially closes.

A number of features will shine through in the new beta, including new Events and new ways to connect with other gamers. A Master Account and a PS4 with a working online connection will be needed to use the beta.

Previous operating systems have also run betas, such as the 3.5 update. Version 3.55 — the current system that’s running the Sony consoles — can still be used for customers who do not want their devices on the 4.0 software.

Sony recently announced that Adam Boyes — who served as VP of third-party relations — will be the new CEO of Iron Galaxy Studios, the company responsible for games such as Marvel vs. Capcom Origins and the Batman video game series.

The company has yet to release more information regarding the launch of the PlayStation 4 Neo, which will be at the forefront of the technological industry thanks to 4K television, virtual reality capabilities and new hardware.

The Neo designers are in competition with the Xbox One S and the Nintendo NX, which mark the next generation of video game consoles.

“But remember, there are two different form factors: a PS4 Neo and an Xbox One new slim version. So there will be some activity and upgrades, along with the VR,” said GameStop CEO Paul Raines.

SNE stock is up 0.6% Wednesday.
