If you signed up for the PlayStation 4 firmware update 4.0 beta last month, then you may want to keep an eye on your email inbox. Beta invites are reportedly going out as we sit here typing this very article, so here's hoping that you've been selected as one of the chosen testers.
Firmware 4.0 brings numerous improvements to Sony's system - some of which haven't been detailed yet. The update adds folders so that you can organise your games and applications, grants the option to see hidden Trophies, and even refreshes various aspects of the console's user interface. All in all, it sounds pretty good, and we're eager to hear what else is in store.
Have you got your hands on an invite? Feel free to gloat in the comments section below.

----------------------24 hrs update--------
....I feel like i didn't get in to the beta ...
Same got my invite so will see how it goes
Nothing for me yet, hope i get one just for folders !!!
The word you needed to use in the title of your article is "invitations". "Invite" is a verb. Does anyone at Push Square have an English qualification? Apparently not.
Crashed on me as soon as I viewed games in the Library. Question for anyone who knows. Do I keep this firmware until the official release or do I need to go back to the previous firmware at some point? What I am really asking is there any point in me adding games to folders if I have to go back to previous firmware.
@dryrain I've been on all betas for the 4 and when 4.0 drops you just update, nothing is lost.
@Rsco6969 thanks
Just received my beta code, will look forward to checking it out later and tidying up all my clutter
Got mine but on vacation with the fam until friday knew I shouldve brought my ps4!
This update includes a lot of stuff that honestly should have been on the console at launch, but at least they're fixing things now.
got the invite, put in the code and it says the code is invalid or expired, WTF ... I trie multiple times :"'
Just updated the PS4, waiting to get the telly back off my missus so that I can give it a go.
Nada. Oh well.
Bleh, I forgot to sign up. Having folders and offline trophies would have been really nice to test (and should have been day 1 features >_>). I got into previous tests but just slipped my mind to sign up for this one.
Updated earlier today and I really like being able to create folders, the new quick menu and that we can add a cover photo to our profiles. I don't like the new pop-up notifications. They're white and remind me of Android's material design. I like the look of material design on my phone but not my PS4.
I use remote play a bit. Previous firmware betas have disabled remote play so I'm always a little hesitant to test. For anyone who has installed the beta, is remote play disabled again?
@Scubafinch I'm not sure about remote play with the vita but remote play with the android app is not currently working.
@NayrStrebor Cheers. May hold off on this beta, though it looks great!
It makes no sense how people sign up without a ps4 or participated in the last beta wow PlayStation really sucks at being fair not greatness as u see how it is now as u think of it.
I tried it and it has nice new features but the performance is awful everything is so slow going back to previous firmware.
@Daniel4659 same
@Daniel4659 it's not about YouTuber it's for everyone everybody that signed up even the ones that don't have a ps4 signed up PlayStation never checked but just sended out the codes but PlayStation never sended an email that said u got no code instead they kept u waiting
@Daniel4659 I tried it and was luckily enough, if thats answer to your question, im not youtuber and im not connected to any
@dryrain I didnt experience any slowdowns, so far so good for me.
@mrmessy73 I've pulled them up previously about stuff like this and also claiming rumours were actual facts and the response I received: "we are not journalists" hmm ok
This 4.00 is a disappointment entirely.
Anyone that doesnt need the beta or cant use it can you give me a code. It would be really appreciated.
Would be great if someone can send me a beta code i be so greatfully if someone can help thank you. so much
Forget PlayStation -_- I've been a member since ps1 this is bull.
Even thought PlayStation gave there codes people on Twitter for them to get followers to do a giveaway but do PlayStation know that no.
