[Nomad76]

Sony Interactive has unveiled its new Beta Program at PlayStation, a central system that lets gamers sign up for upcoming beta tests across various PlayStation experiences. One registration allows users to show interest in testing PS5 and PC games new PS5 features, PlayStation App updates, and improvements to the user experience on PlayStation.com. "The Beta Program at PlayStation will create an easy, centralized place for you to register your interest in a range of future PlayStation betas." said Sid Shuman, senior director at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Sony will send invites to chosen participants, who can then decide to join each specific beta. Sony made it clear in the blog post about the Beta Program that joining doesn't guarantee access to all future tests. It just means Sony will think about including you. To qualify, players need a PlayStation Network account in good standing, must live in a supported area, and meet their region's age rules. You can sign up for free, and it's becoming available worldwide at playstation.com/beta-program-at-playstation.

I always really enjoy these types of programs but its a slippery slope. Does this only play to first party titles or does it apply to any game on the PS5? And do the developers have any say / control over how these tests are organized and done? If not.. I dont imagine they'll be useful
