Sony has released an update that integrates Discord voice chat to the PS5 console, along with other feature updates. This update will provide PS5 players with access to various new features, including the ability to join voice chat, send messages, share memes, and access various servers and communities.
One of the most exciting features is that PS5 players can now use voice chat with their PC friends while playing crossplay games. Additionally, Discord has implemented a voice chat card, similar to the built-in invitation system, that allows for easy game joining.
On the dashboard page, users can also view which friends are online and currently playing games. Additionally, players can share their screen or request screen sharing from a friend’s profile, allowing for streaming and watching games live with their friends.
The latest PS5 update also includes many other features, including VRR support for 1440p when playing VRR-supported games. However, to take advantage of this feature, PS5 players require a compatible HDMI 2.1 screen with VRR support.
Another feature included in the update is the ability to filter games in the game library when adding them to the game list. This can help users find PS VR and PS VR2 games easily. The update can also set user preferences for choosing who can join or invite players to multiplayer sessions.
The update also improves the process of migrating saved data from PS4 to PS5, making it much smoother. When installing PS4 games on PS5, gamers will receive a notification that saved data is available on the PSN cloud storage, allowing them to download saved data easily.
Transferring data between two PS5 consoles can also now be done using local Wi-Fi or LAN cable. Lastly, users in the UK and US can use the voice command ‘Hey PlayStation, capture that!’ to start game recording, adding another convenient feature to the PS5 experience. This update improves the functionality and ease of use of the PS5 console.
