[Rumour] PlayStation Home Release Dates


Recommended Posts

Yeah fine, you can believe release will be whenever you want, I don't care, but no need to call my topics spam, that's all I'm saying to Si.

I only agreed with the delay part, I don't consider these posts/news spam. Just saying that from previous experience we should take them with a grain of salt that's all...

By email.

We're picking people from across the SCEE territories too. Right now Home is English only but that will come to an end when the invites go out. It wont be all languages straight away, probably the main 5, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Your next question is "How do you decide who gets picked?" and we had a couple of plans on how that was going to be done and my boss is away so I cant ask him which one he chose (yes, we've picked the names already and no, I'm not going to reveal the list). I'll let you know what I can, once I find out, but both were broadly based on the concept of loyalty. Thats VERY vague I know, I'll firm up what I can but dont expect too much detail, it was really complicated last time.

For everyone else theres Open Beta which wont be far behind.

Update on how SCEE invites will be handed out.

define 'loyalty'?

Probably people who've bought content off the PSN store and actively use PSN. Or people who regular on the EU forums where TedtheDog is posting all this.

No point in inviting people in who hardly ever sign on, or are fairly inactive.

As usual I doubt I'll get an invite, never seem to do for any of these beta's... As long as open is shortly after (Y)

Sony's Home Beta "Timeline": From Closed Beta To Open Beta

Heres a rough overview of the coming weeks:

1. The version 1.0 Patch Notes will be published in the closed beta forum so they know what to expect and to help plan testing.

2. A couple of days later Version 1.0 will be released into the Closed beta. That will not happen this week.

3. SCEE will be inviting a large number of extra testers into the closed beta to load test and that process will start within a day or so of v1.0 going live. We wont invite them all straight away, we'll ramp it up over a a period of time. We will be inviting non-English speaking testers for the first time. Languages covered will be English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Please remember these are languages, not countries, so more than the immediately obvious countries will be included to a degree. The lists have been chosen already, dont try changing your language to get included!

4. Once we start inviting people in to the Closed Beta the public SCEE Home forums will become the Home beta test forums.

5. The date of Open Beta start will be announced in advance

6. Open Beta starts and that will be just as it implies, Open to all

There's more detail that I'll bring to you about bug reporting, forum changes etc closer to the time.

Finally, Home Open Beta is the start of a long journey, not the end of one. I know I've said this a lot recently but I see many of you are thinking of Home Open Beta like a game release in that you're expecting the final version to be launched with just some patches and maybe some DLC to come afterwards. Home Beta is a service that will grow from the foundation of v1.0 over the coming months and years so thinking of it as a start rather than a finish will help you understand where its going and what its all about. We all appreciate you've been waiting a long time to be a part of this journey and we hope you enjoy it once your onboard with us.

I was under the impression most people who moan about Home topics don't care about release :p

Just giving the community each bit of info that comes from Sony :yes: (Y)

Well they didn't really tell us anything, timelines are supposed to have specific dates planned out. All he did was jibber on some more about what we already knew pretty much.

Don't shoot the messenger!

When you register an account and are asked what consoles you own...

If you only picked Sony consoles you're in. That's loyalty :laugh:

How come I never got "in"!! :( I even registered my PS3 just now after seeing you say that.

I WANNA PLAY :(

Quickly someone make a Neowin+ Club with a "no Auidoboxers allowed* sign. :p

Really looking forward to running around screaming and trash talking at everyone, will definitely cheer up those boring Sundays (Y)

Please do, see how long you can do it till you get thrown off, rofl.

And nice sig, I'm assuming your doing it to get someone to moan at you? which will lead whatever topic into another trivial matter? :p

Or does it make you feel better mocking something with is completely optional?

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
    • It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
