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!
Why does anyone want this?
Please show some love to the Canadian gamers! We have pretty decent Interntent here, you know!
Can someone give quick advice on how I can join (or at least request to join) the PS4 beta testing program?
Dear” sony i would like the code PlayStation now beta PS4 i would love it .
I’m still going to be patient and wait, but for some reason I got ANOTHER invite to the ps3 beta yesterday, rather than the PS4. I’m hoping to get one, but I didn’t know if I was supposed to get another PS3 beta code. Thanks :)
Also, to add to my comment above, I no longer have a PS3. I traded it to get the PS4, so PS3 invite is useless. Would love to try PSNOW though! :)
Hi JDMGaming,
Sorry to hear that. Since both the PS3 and PS4 Private Betas are now live, we had both PS3 and PS4 codes sent out yesterday and that was normal.
You may have showed up as having a PS3 console at some point and were in the pool to get a PS3 code. If you currently own a PS4 and just got a PS3 code, our plan is to follow-up and email a code just for the PS4. There can be a delay, so appreciate your patience.
