The latest PS5 upgrade brings much-requested support for Discord. PlayStation users have been able to connect their PSN and Discord profiles for a while now, but full integration has been a highly desired addition. Because of the improved compatibility between the two systems, you can now have voice chats on Sony’s top-tier gameplay device.
The PS5 has a built-in party audio messaging feature but can only communicate with other PlayStation users. On the other hand, Discord allows you to talk to teammates and pals regardless of their play device. Playing one of the finest games available across devices is a great reason to use Discord.
It’s also a nice feature for normal Discord users to be able to keep talking even if they switch to PS5. Also, the DualSense gamepad has a built-in microphone, so you can begin talking on Discord immediately without investing in a high-end headset. However, I caution you that the audio could be better.
Using Discord on a PlayStation 5 is a hassle because you must connect your identities before you can even start. However, if you need more time to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of options, we’ll explain how to navigate Discord on PS5 so you can easily communicate.
