Earlier this year Sony accepted testers for the PlayStation 4 5.50 Beta detailing the features, which has since been followed by both the PS4 5.50 OFW release and a PS4 5.50 WebKit (Userland) Exploit.

Today mainstream news media outlets including Destructoid, IGN and VG247 report that signups for the PS4 System Software 6.00 Beta Firmware update are now being taken in some regions including North America (Working Link via GrimDoe) and Japan with Europe not live yet. o_O

Some PS4 Firmware 6.00 Beta 3 Screenshots (PS4 6.00 Beta 1 / Beta 2 / Beta 3 PUPs (Decrypted)) of a cleaner UI have also surfaced, and this comes proceeding the release of the current PS4 Firmware 5.55, and according to reports the Japanese signup page states testers are being accepted through July 27th providing applicants are over 18 years old and a PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Now subscriber.

While the pages above appear to be taken offline at the moment cached versions still exist, however, it likely won't be long before Sony makes an official announcement asking for 6.00 PS4 Beta Firmware testers... we'll update this article again then! (y)

PS4 Installing 6.00 Beta/Downgrading To 5.55
:alert: Warning: If you're on a jailbroken PS4 console don't update to the BETA as @DEFAULTDNB confirmed the following via Twitter, to quote:

"You can only downgrade to the current highest released OFW (in this case 6.20) regardless of what firmware you updated from. It's hard coded now."

its your fault to update. 4.05 jailbreak [hint;do not update to run homebrew] 4.55 [hint;do not update to run homebrew] 5.05 [hint;do not update to run homebrew] so there you go.
 
MrNiato in twitter hinted a secret in quote "in 28th July i will add others things"

Maybe a 5.55 kexploit gets release 27th July
 
Not likely is my guess:

Why would devs burn an exploit when there are still jailbreakable consoles available for sale... those who updated are better off selling theirs for another, or getting a second console if they can afford it.
 
5.55 fw doesn't have much more games to play on except Detroit, Vampyr, The Crew 2.

So once qwertyuiopz found bug kernel on 6.00 expect a 5.55 release date.
 
In regards to the psn allowing name changes. I've had my PSN name changed once before in the past year. And all my stats for games, dlc, etc. All were the same.
