Topic: New firmware beta

Just got an email from Sony. New firmware beta.

Main updates from this System Software Beta Program:

● Unicode 17.0 emojis are now supported. You can use them in your messages.
● We've improved the messages and usability on some screens.
● We've improved system software performance and stability

Although, strangely the code they’ve sent me doesn’t work.

@Angelus3K Same here

Same mine doesn't work either

Mine does not work either, tried to talk to support and that was a joke. I said I tried a vpn with every region and many accounts including my uk one, he asked screen shots of my email
I sent them they rejected them, I sent again 20 hours ago went threw and im still waiting, why we even need a code when are already reg god knows

New email with new code which now works.

The voucher code included in the email titled “Welcome to the PlayStation®5 System Software Public Beta Update,” which was sent to some users on 19 February 2026, contained an error. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
