(confirmed not working) Modders find way to play Uncharted 4 without being invited to the beta: Uncharted 4 Beta unlock released
Update: Several users are reporting that although the released app (which is a simple hardcoded proxy) lets you download and install the Uncharted 4 Beta, The Beta itself will not accept to run unless you have a savegame of the Uncharted Nathan Drake collection on your PS4 system. This makes sense that Naughty Dog would implement that kind of check, and means the app that was released is pretty much useless, unless you want to trick your friends into thinking you got into the beta.
Th error message when you try to play the game. TY @GaetanFcp
The initial article:
Xmax katsu just released the Uncharted 4 Beta unlock application, a tool that lets you download and play Uncharted 4 now even if you’re not part of the Beta.
Xmax Katsu credits @EuroAli103 for the app source.
I haven’t tested this application yet, but several users are already reporting success in using it, and being able to enjoy the Uncharted 4 beta even though they weren’t officially part of it.
Xmax katsu recommends creating and using a new user on the PSN for the sake of trying this. It is possible Sony could take some preventive measures against accounts using this trick, and as such, using your main account is probably not a wise idea.
Of course, nobody in their right mind should use this tool ;). Do it at your own risk.

Accounts don’t matter if they decide to ban the console :p
Since apparently people here trust running random EXEs from strangers, there does not seem to be any (obvious) viruses. Although it does load a youtube video in the background for some odd reason. The “trick” is changing the SKU of whatever you’re “purchasing” to EP9000-CUSA04051_00-UNCHARTED4MPBETA-E001 which, of course, lets you “purchase” the free beta. You can do it yourself without running an untrusted EXE by using firefox and modifying the request after checkout.
Fair enough. This appears to just be some hardcoded proxy url of some sort. I’m actually pending some more confirmations, but early reports tell me this does not actually let you play the beta, since the Beta checks for an “Uncharted Nathan Drake collection” savegame on the system.
that marijuana dude trying to get profit off youtube ad obviously, he’s not a real hacker, i bet he’s one who built those fake jailbreak sites with survey
If u want to get in just redbox the game. Dont need the disc aftee
Good point
So if you do have the GAME save it would work? Just curious but not willing to risk my IDPS for this as I will wait like the rest of the world.
How about gettin the game from an local video rental or an savegame from an buddy ? Maybe its also possible to “clean” an savegame be creativ guys 😀
Cool stuff. Now that we’ve got this “hack” and the announcement of PS2 on PS4 on the same day, it’s got me thinking. It would be super cool if the community managed to unlock the PS4’s PS2 emulator like how the PS2 Classics emulator was unlocked on PS3. That’s a long ways down the road, but it could happen.
And I realize that this particular little trick with the beta has nothing to do with any kind of CFW etc. It just reawakens my desire for an open PS4. Someday, someday…
Rent the collection get a saved game do the trick and it might work…. .
if you wanna try this game and dont have the save just download uncharted collection demo and create a save to play the game by this method
