PS5 Now Supports Discord: A Game-Changer for Users

Available now

Of course, the presence of Discord on Sony's latest console is not new: it has been approximately a year since this online chat application has been available to download. Nevertheless, its integration left something to be desiredsince it was necessary to launch the program on a smartphone or on a PC to access a chat channel from the PS5.

Last week, the Japanese firm announced that it would begin rolling out a feature allowing PS5 players to join a Discord voice chat directly on their games console. This way, players no longer need to use Discord on PC or the mobile application to make contact! We learn that this update long awaited by users having fun online is finally available for everyone. To benefit from it, you just need to have the latest version of the system. If you don't see it, Sony will prompt you to restart your machine.

From discord to harmony

“During the last years, “We've partnered with Discord to provide more ways for players to connect with their friends and communities across Discord and on PS5 consoles. Since we introduced Discord voice chat on PS5, players have participated in over 290 million Discord voice chats on PS5 to chat with their friends while gaming,'” writes the Japanese group on its official blog. He adds: “'Today we're excited to let you know that we've started rolling out a feature that allows PS5 players to join a Discord voice chat directly on their PS5 console. This way, they won't need to use Discord on PC or the mobile app.

From now on, you can go to the PS5 control center, then choose the Discord tab in the Game Base area and choose the Discord server or group you want to join. Simple, right? As for the Profile Sharing function, also promised by the manufacturer, it allows you to share your PlayStation Network profile on any messaging application.
