Since PS5 launched, we've been listening to your feedback and working every day to bring you more community-requested features. Today, we are rolling out a new PS5 system software beta that includes 1440p support, gamelists, and additional updates to enhance your gaming experiences and make connecting with friends easier on PS5.
While beta access is limited to invited participants in select countries*, our goal is to bring these updates to our global community later this year. If you're selected to participate in the beta, you'll receive an email invitation when it's available to download today. As always, some features available during the beta phase may not make it into the final version or may see significant changes.
Here's a look at some of the new features:

Never mind, looks like you're fixing it.
i'm quite happy about games list. i can already plot out a few that i'll make:
- personal backlog
- games appropriate for my kid
- games with online coop
- games with couch coop
i know everyone wanted folders but honestly this is even better since i can "folder" games not downloaded to my system. this will be a big help to me managing my backlog as the list of games i own has gotten really big. it's easy to lose track of the games i want to play from the games i've already played.
Never mind, looks like you're fixing it.
yeah, sorry. the original paste looked good until i posted it and then it got weird. should be "okay" now.
Do people like activity cards? They're almost interesting but right now I just avoid them. Seems Sony is feeling the need to push them.

"Almost interesting" sounds like a really good way to describe how I feel about them.
I've never used them and don't care about them that much.
But on paper, it sounds like a neat idea. Like hey, you could pick what level you want to play before even starting the game.
it's all down to implementation just like the trophy hints.
sackboys big adventure was implemented well but most games are not. numerous bad results means I ignore them all.
I wish the game hints allowed community help. the hints by developers suck but I bet the community would gladly link in relevant YouTube videos given a chance.
