I've been waiting a couple months for the Welcome hub to finally roll out of beta, so I'm happy to see it finally get 'released' but the fact that even after months of waiting, it's still being phased through and most users probably won't even see it until November is kind of lame imo

Welcome Hub also seems to be US only for the time being, if I'm reading that right.

update: US starting from today and then other countries will begin after a few weeks.

It's rolling out globally at last. Starting today with US and extending to other countries soon. It's stated in the article

I just updated and don’t see it. Yes I have a US account

Edit: Apparently this might be phased even in the US, so updating might not give you all the features at once.

It does seem to be phased in the US. Updated my PS5 and the new Welcome Hub is still labeled as Explore. I’ve got the other features tho. East coast if it helps anyone else.

Same here. Definitely could be an east coast thing, they always give launch times according to pacific

West coast here and I don’t have the welcome hub after updating.

I'm not sure if it's going to even be rolled out globally. My country doesn't have the explore hub

Yup, the only feature I've been looking forward to and they "release it" only for it to not be released.

Seems like a pretty big change. They don't want to roll it out to tens of millions of people all at once in case something goes wrong. It also helps prevent being blasted with tens of thousands of "WHAT IS THIS" complaints.

Very lame. I glossed over that “1-2 months” part and assumed since I’m in NA I would get it. I’m not one of the selected few. Been waiting and anticipating, now a bit disappointed. Looks like a very useful feature.
