PS5 Users Can Soon Join Discord Voice Chats Directly from Their Console: A Game-Changing Update

PS5 users can soon join Discord voice chats directly from their console without the need for a separate device. This new feature is part of an update that Sony announced on June 13, 2024, and it will gradually roll out over the coming weeks.

Discord integration on PS5 was first introduced in 2021, but users had to manually transfer calls from their mobile or computer devices to join voice chats. With this update, players can select the Discord tab in Game Base within the PS5 Control Center and choose their preferred voice channel directly from the console.

The update will first be available to PS5 owners in Japan and Asia, followed by Europe, Australia/New Zealand, the Middle East, and finally North and South America. To use this feature, players need to update their console to the latest system software and link their PlayStation Network account with their Discord account.

Discord has been a popular communication tool for gamers for years. The partnership between Sony and Discord began in 2022, allowing Xbox users to stream games directly to Discord. Since then, Microsoft announced that the partnership had expanded to allow Xbox users to join voice chats directly from their console without needing a phone or computer.

This update is expected to make it easier for PS5 players to communicate with their friends and communities while gaming. It comes less than a month after Discord announced its plans to pivot its focus towards gaming-centric features, including communication tools for developers and players.

    The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when Sabrina Meditz's quotes are presented as evidence for the Discord integration improvement on PS5. However, since the author does not make any false or misleading claims based on this quote and provides additional context about the update, the score remains high.
    • “Then, select your preferred voice channel. This will reveal more details, such as who is already in the channel chatting. You’ll also receive a PS5 console notification when another Discord user calls you, allowing you to join right away.” - Sabrina Meditz
