📦 PXPlay PC v2.1.0 Beta

PXPlay PC v2.1.0 Beta is now available.

Important: This release fixes the recent SSL connection issues with Sony’s servers that prevented affected users from using PSN-related functionality.

This is an early beta of the next major PXPlay desktop update. It is being released earlier than originally planned because the Sony server SSL issue required an urgent update.
