PlayStation 5 system update quietly rolls out new feature you probably missed

PlayStation 5 players are finally getting integrated Discord support, praise the Lord.

PlayStationplayershave been able to join voice calls for a while too, but in order to do so they’ve needed the Discord mobile app, which has an option within the call to transfer audio to their PlayStation 5 consoles.

It worked, but it was a hassle, which is why it was great to hearSonywould beimplementing DIscord directlyinto the PlayStation UI rather than having to mess around with separate applications.

One exclaimed “FINALLY OH MY F****** GOD THANK YOU.”

Another agreed, “Yeah it’s quite a hassle to have to join the call from one device first and then from PS5 afterwards.”

Finally one called it “great and desperately needed, especially since so many games are cross play now.”

Pretty soon it’ll be easier than ever to play online with your friends, whether it be on the same platform or across PlayStation, Xbox or PC, so keep an eye out for the feature landing in your region in the coming weeks.
