Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a new PS5 system update that will add native Discord voice chat, over the coming weeks.

While support for Discord voice chat was recently added to PS5, this new integration will let PS5 users join a Discord voice chat from PS5 without needing the Discord PC or mobile app to start the connection. The new functionality will roll out first in Japan/Asia, followed by Europe, Australia/New Zealand, and the Middle East, and finally the Americas.

Here’s a rundown on the new functionality, plus a video:

How to join Discord voice chat on PS5

To start, select the Discord tab in Game Base within the PS5 Control Center and choose the Discord server or DM group you’d like to join. 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.

This update will make it easier than ever to quickly hop into Discord conversations with other gamers. It will gradually roll out over the coming weeks, starting with players in Japan/Asia, followed by Europe, Australia/New Zealand, and the Middle East, and finally the Americas.

Please note that you will need to update your console to the latest system software, and your accounts for PlayStation Network and Discord must be linked. If you haven’t yet linked accounts, you can learn how to do so here.

Profile Share also begins rolling out next week

Starting next week, we’re also rolling out the ability for you to share your PlayStation Network profile on any messaging or social app. To begin, select “Share Profile” from PlayStation App or the PS5 console to generate a shareable link or QR code. When the recipient opens the link, they’ll have the option to add you as a friend once they’re signed in to PlayStation Network.
