tvOS 27 Developer Beta 8 Now Available for Download on Apple TV with More Stability Improvements

tvOS 27 developer beta 7 was released last week, and tvOS 27 public beta 5 became available right after that. Today, a week later, tvOS 27 developer beta 8 is available for download, and you can expect tvOS 27 public beta 6 to arrive a short while later.

Assuming you do have an older beta of tvOS 27 installed on your Apple TV, you can update to the latest version by following these steps:

  • Turn on your Apple TV.
  • Launch the Settings app.
  • Now go to System > Software Updates > Update Software.
  • When there’s a new update, select ‘Download and Install.’

I expect the RC version of tvOS 27 to arrive next week, with the final version set for release a week after that.

If you’re wiling to test out tvOS 27 beta on your Apple TV, you’ll find the download tutorial for the developer beta here, and public beta here.
