Discord has announced that it'll be bringing voice chat straight to PS5, and can support cross-platform channels.
In your blog post published today (February 2), Discord announced that it will soon support voice chat on PS5 consoles.
Starting from today, anyone enrolled in the PS5 System Software Beta Program can use Discord’s voice chat. Looking ahead, the organization states that a full launch is “on the horizon” – though there’s no exact date at this time.
Anyone that’s invited to beta test Discord’s voice chat will get an email containing an access code for that trial. Once the beta software’s installed, players must navigate to Settings, Users and Accounts, Linked Services, and link their Discord account to their PlayStation Network account.
Once both accounts are linked, testers will be able to use Discord’s voice chat on PS5. From there, users can go to the mobile version of Discord and click ‘Join on PlayStation’ to transfer their voice chat from mobile to PlayStation.
For anyone can not get Discord focusing on their PS5, Discord recommends checking out this support page for more details.
Outside of Discord, PS5’s latest beta will even test a “quantity of fan-requested features” including variable refresh rate support for 1440p resolution. The beta will even range from the capability to start or request a share screen from friends’ profiles, a new Join Game icon for party chat, and much more options for filtering your game library.
This page features a full listing of features which are becoming tested for the PS5.
