How To Get Involved
to be approved for the PlayStation Beta Program,you’ll have to answer a series of questions.

It’s especially interesting thatthe Beta Program allows you to mark PC as a preferred platform. That could meanPlayStation is going for a more multi-platform approach, and is using this program in part to test how its games run on PC.

What Kind Of Games Will Be Involved?
Those who successfully get into the Beta Program may periodically receiveemails inviting them to participate in beta testing. They’ll be able to download or otherwise access limited versions of various games via their preferred platform, which they’ll likely only be able to play for a limited version of time. Developers or publishers will collect feedback via their preferred methods. Do note that participation in the Beta Program is free, but is not compensated unless otherwise stated; you don’t own the games you get to try, either.
However, you may get a chance to play some big releases early, which may be worth signing up in and of itself. It’s unclear just what studios and games may be participating in the Beta Program at present, but the signup sheet allows you to select a variety of different genres, game modes, and playstyles, ranging from action to RPG to sports to FPS. It’s clear that Sony envisions this as a platform for a vide variety of games, from all sorts of genres and developers. Only time will tell whether it becomes a major help forPlayStation 5devs and players alike.
