Developers can download the new tvOS 15 beta by downloading a profile onto the ‌Apple TV‌ using Xcode.

tvOS 15 is limited to developers at the current time, but Apple will provide a public beta of the software to public beta testers later this summer. tvOS 15 will see a release this fall alongside iOS 15, iPadOS 15, macOS 12, and watchOS 8.

Just tested it on my Apple TV 4K (older addition). Already works with apps. Even Netflix!!!!
Sounds amazing on my AirPods Max. Now I no longer have to use my iPad as my streaming device to get spacial audio. Made my day.
How did you get your tv to update? I can't seem to find an update after adding the profile

EDIT: Figured it out. Turn off get beta updates and it shows up.

It's in. Confirmed a few moments ago.

Now if they would only add the profile switcher to the Home Screen or make it mandatory before watching so my family doesn’t mess with my watch history anymore… :oops:
