While seemingly less exciting in terms of new features compared to the incoming PlayStation 5 Beta 3.0-05.00.00 Firmware with PS5 Voice Commands, since the previous 9.00 Beta PS4 Firmware and current official PS4 OFW 9.03 today Sony also confirmed the next PS4 Firmware / System Software 9.50 Beta update will be available to those that joined the PlayStation 4 System Software Beta Trial later tonight / tomorrow (depending on your time zone) with a summary of changelog updates outlined below.

Those who haven't registered in Sony's PlayStation Preview Program will NOT be able to install Beta PUPs as they require a valid PS4 license for installation, and as DEFAULTDNB confirmed it's hardcoded for only downgrading to the current highest released OFW regardless of what PS4 Firmware you updated from.
As always, DON'T UPDATE if you wish to use the latest PS4 Game Backup PKGs via PS4 Torrents and Homebrew Apps whenever the next PS4 Jailbreak Exploit surfaces... we'll add any related Tweets below as PlayStation 4 Scene developers have a chance to examine it.
Here's more from Sony's Platform Experience SVP Hideaki Nishino, to quote: New PS5 and PS4 System Software Betas Roll Out Tomorrow
Our second PS5 system software beta is kicking off tomorrow with new ways to personalize your console experience across party chat, Game Base and accessibility settings. Weâre also rolling out a PS4 system software beta tomorrow for players to try out the community-requested Open Parties feature, which is also coming in the PS5 beta.
In addition, for PS5 beta participants in the U.S. and U.K, weâre previewing a feature that enables voice commands for finding and opening games and apps, as well as controlling media playback (English language setting only).
While access to the PS5 and PS4 betas will be open to selected participants in applicable countries*, the final system software updates will be available globally later this year. If youâre selected to participate in the betas, youâll receive an email invitation when the updates are available to download tomorrow.
As with previous system software betas, some features available during this phase may not make it into the final version or may see significant changes. Hereâs a sneak peek:
New Party Chat Options
In response to community feedback, weâve made some updates to the Parties system:
**Players can enjoy the mono audio feature through headphones or headsets connected via USB or the headphone jack (Bluetooth is not supported). Mono audio for PS5 is not supported when playing PS VR games.
JP Only, give a try may work or may not work:
EU / AU Possibly Only, give a try may work or may not work.
Confirmed: Code will be expired on 30 April 2022.

As with previous system software betas, some features available during this phase may not make it into the final version or may see significant changes. Hereâs a sneak peek:
New Party Chat Options
In response to community feedback, weâve made some updates to the Parties system:
- Open and Closed Parties (PS5 and PS4 betas)
- When you start a party, you can now select either an open party or a closed party:
- An open party lets your friends see and join the party without an invite. Friends of party members can also join.
- A closed party is only for players you invite.
- Note: in Game Base on PS5 and Party on PS4, if you select [Open Party] when starting a party, only players using the beta version of the PS5 or PS4 system software will be able to join. To start a party that players who arenât using the beta version can also join, select [Closed Party].
- When you start a party, you can now select either an open party or a closed party:
- Voice chat reporting feature update (PS5 beta)
- If you want to report something that someone in a party said, there are now visual indicators for you to identify who was speaking. This will help PlayStation Safety take appropriate action based on your report. You can learn more about this feature here.
- Share Play update (PS5 beta)
- Start Share Play directly from the voice chat card. You no longer need to start Share Screen first to use Share Play.
- Voice chat volume (PS4 beta)
- You can now individually adjust the voice chat volume of each player in a party on PS4, just like on PS5.
- Voice chats are now called parties. For easier access, weâve divided the Game Base menu into three tabs: Friends, Parties and Messages.
- From the Game Base control menu and cards, you can now:
- View all your friends under the [Friends] tab in the control menu, or access the player search feature and friend requests through links on this tab.
- Add a player to a group or create a new group directly from Game Base in the Control Center. You can also send text messages, quick messages, images, video clips, and view a groupâs shared media from this card.
- When someone in a party is sharing their screen, youâll now see the (on air) icon.
- Weâve made it easier to decline friend requests by adding a [Decline] button to your friend request list.
- Filter by genre
- Weâve added an option to filter your game collection by genre, letting you quickly find specific types of game experiences.
- Keep in Home
- You can now keep the games or apps you choose on your home screen by selecting âKeep in Homeâ with the (options) button.
- You can keep a maximum of five games and apps on each home screen with this feature.
- Increased apps on the home screen
- You can now have a total of 14 games and apps appear on your home screen.
- Trophies UI update
- Weâve updated the visual design of trophy cards and the trophy list. You can also see suggestions for which trophies to earn on the trophy tracker and access it from the Control Center whenever youâre playing a game.
- Start Share Screen from the Create menu
- From the Create menu, you can now start a Share Screen and stream your gameplay to an open party.
- More Screen Reader languages
- Screen Reader, which reads aloud on-screen text and provides spoken guidance for operating the console, is now supported in six additional languages: Russian, Arabic, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, and Korean.
- This expands Screen Reader support to 15 languages, including the current ones (United States English, United Kingdom English, Japanese, Italian, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, French and Canadian French).
- Mono audio for headphones
- You can now enable mono audio for headphones so the same audio is played from both the left and right headphones, instead of a stereo or 3D audio sound mix. This feature provides an added option to enhance the PS5 audio experience, particularly for players with unilateral hearing loss.**
- Check marks for enabled settings
- You can now show a check mark on enabled settings so you can easily see that theyâre turned on.
- Weâre also testing a feature that enables voice commands for finding and opening games, apps, and settings, as well as controlling media playback on the PS5 console.
- This feature is currently available in English for beta participants with accounts registered to the U.S. and U.K.
- To get started, enable Voice Command (Preview) from the Settings menu. Then, call out âHey, PlayStation!â and ask your PS5 console to find a game, open an app or setting, or control playback while enjoying a movie, TV show or song.
- You can help us improve the feature through our feedback program, which will sometimes record your voice commands (in accordance with our Privacy Policy) and let you provide instant feedback from time to time. You can turn this feature off at any time within system settings (see above). This feature never records audio for child accounts.
- Weâre in an early testing phase for this feature and will be closely assessing it and listening to your feedback throughout the beta. For more details, check out this page.
**Players can enjoy the mono audio feature through headphones or headsets connected via USB or the headphone jack (Bluetooth is not supported). Mono audio for PS5 is not supported when playing PS VR games.
