Update: With both PS3 and PS4 Private Beta’s now in effect, we sent out codes for both systems on May 20 as planned. We’re aware that some PS4 owners may have received a beta code for PS3 but don’t currently own that console. We’re working to send PS4 vouchers to everyone in the beta that received a PS3 voucher since January. These will be sent out in batches over the next week or so, please be patient. If you haven’t already registered and plan to, please make sure to tick off what console you own in the appropriate check box.
Hi all, since January, a growing number of PlayStation fans have been enjoying the Private Beta program for PlayStation Now, our streaming game service launching this summer.
Up until this point, our Private Beta for PS Now has been available on PlayStation 3 systems. We’re pleased to announce that the Private Beta program is expanding and will make its debut on PlayStation 4 systems on May 20. If you’ve registered for the PS Now Private Beta, keep an eye on your mailbox for a voucher code.
PS Now gives you the freedom to play select PS3 games like you already stream movies, TV, shows, and music – directly to your favorite PS Now compatible devices without any discs or downloads. The first supported devices launching in 2014 are PS4, PS3, select 2014 Bravia TVs, and PlayStation Vita, with more devices down the road.
The Private Beta program has been going great so far, and we want to give thanks to the testers that have participated – your valuable feedback is helping us make the service even better. Thus far, Private Beta testers have logged more than 50,000 gameplay hours discovering new games, rediscovering favorites and racking up Trophies!
We are also happy to announce that access to the PS3 Private Beta program will expand to a broader audience in the near future. If you aren’t a member of our Private Beta community yet, click here to register your interest. Please be patient if you’ve already registered but haven’t received an invitation yet. We are inviting more Private Beta testers on a regular basis.
We’re eager to launch PS Now more widely – stay tuned to this blog for more details. And remember, if you’re already in the PS Now Private Beta, we want to hear from you so post feedback / impressions in our private forums.
More coming soon!
I’ve been awaiting greatness with my PS4, here’s to one of my submissions getting the beta email….
i wish to have an invitation ! i would like to play previous gens games on my ps4 !
So I got an email probably a month and a half ago saying I was invited in the closed beta. All I had to do was to to the Playstation.com website and fill out a really short survey of sorts and my code would be emailed which I did. However I have yet to see a code or anything resembling one.
An interesting question: Why not give out the PS4 Beta Codes to those participating in the PS3 Beta first?
Those currently participating, have a better understanding of the program & have already proven their worth.
So we can get games tomorrow for ps4?
I would love to get in on the PS4 beta. However I didn’t get invited to the PS3 beta. So I’m not holding my breath.
I received an invite for the PS3 PS NOW beta on 04/21. I quickly accepted the invite and Sony said they’d send me an email with the Beta voucher. Well, it’s almost a month later now, and I still do not have that Beta voucher. I’ve been scouring my junk email as well to see if it’s in there. It’s not.
When will I be able to test PS Now on my PS3?
Notify me when Canada can get some love ( probably never
I can’t wait to see if a Vita beta will release. I have registered for the PS3 beta but haven’t gotten any love. Hoping for it to come around. I have Black Ops II to keep me busy until then :D
So you have to have a dualshock 3 even if youre using a ps4?
I signed up for the beta a couple of minutes ago.I don’t think I an going to get chosen though because I am kind of late.
*Drops down to 2 knees* Please. I’ve been waiting soo patiently for the PS4 beta.
Hey, would you receive the code after its released or before its released? I think I signed up for the beta but currently I don’t know.
I’ve owned 4 generations of Playstations and I’m so excited for this service!! I really hope I get a beta code for PS4!!
i was accepted to the beta march 27th and never got the beta key, hope i get in for the ps4 beta
I received my playstation now beta code however I am unable to find it. I really want to see what it is all about! Would I be able to get a resend please?? Thank you for your time and consideration!
Man I’m pretty hype for this go playstation now
I read the reply for for the question if PS3 Now bata testers get to be on the PS4 ones but do we need to let you guys know that we have a PS4 or Vita. If so how do I go about it.
I thought when this was first announced I signed up but didn’t receive a invite. Hopefully I will get picked this time I hope anyway.
Get me in this pleeeease
I hope I get a Vita code.
ive been in the ps3 beta, so i just wait for a e-mail for the ps4 code then this week?
i would how it holds up on ps4.
i could barely play any games, the lag was just to great.
games was running horribley.
I got an email April 29th saying I was invited to participate in the PS3 Playstation Now Beta. It said I should expect an email with a voucher in “the coming days”.
I still haven’t received that email. My email hasn’t changed or anything.
How long does it typically take to receive the voucher?
Would be nice if I could finally get access to the PS3 beta…
I’m thinking about pre-ordering Wolfenstein on the PS4, will I be able to download it now and start playing at midnight, or will I have to wait until the store updates tomorrow? And if I do have to wait, what time does the store update?
Please bring PS Now to Canada.
I signed up for the beta awhile back heck I even got an invite but no voucher afterwards
This interests me greatly and i will await!
Will invites be sent out on the 20th>
On April 23rd, I received the email invitation, followed the instructions in the email. As of today still waiting for the voucher code. Now I re-registered to use with the PS4. Do you think i’ll get one any time soon?
I got an invitation four weeks ago, register my info, but didn’t get another email of instructions or app codes. kind of annoyed that there is no follow up.
I love the 16-bit sega genesis games CAN YOU GET THEM games for PS 3 PS4 and PS Vita I know you can sony thank you
How can i register for the beta?
Remember when early beta access was an advertised selling point of Playstation Plus?
i really want to know if watch dogs is going to have a pre load on PS4.
Awesome! I’m liking the Private Beta on the PS3. Everything plays very smoothly.
Woke up this mourning excited to use this feature but still no invite. Can’t wait to play red dead redemption on my ps4. I will be checking my email every hour. I’ve waited so long for this! Thanks Sony!
It would have been nice to have gotten an invite to either as I own a PS1,PS2,PS3,PS4, Vita and PSP but hey I guess I don’t need to try PSnow lol.
I want a code please..one of my friends gave me his ps3 code, I doubt he gives me his ps4. Come on Sony make me proud.
@132; there’s a hyperlink in the post.
i got an invite in march 28 but never received a code
why is i got an invite on march 27 and never received any code
I would like an invite. I’ve signed up a couple months ago… I am on the Sony RLS team and a top 50 points earner of all time. I need to be able to tell my customers how this program works in detail. Thanks.
Wha time are we getting the beta?
Bummer that I accepted invite a month ago for PS3 and never heard a thing after. . .
Received my invite at the end of March and got the voucher at the end of April so be patient it will come. I don’t know if I’ll be able to participate on the PS4 so I re-registered to make my chances a bit higher. ( fingers crossed )
How many ppl will be getting invites…I hope im one ?
Has anybody received an invite/voucher yet today?
just curious i never received the email saying that i have been invited to join the private beta but never received the code and it has been over a month. Just curious has that happened to a lot of people? Unless I am going to receive it on my ps4. If so then that’s all the better, but can i have some input please thanks.
I would a code for PS4 please :(
