[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 :(

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?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
