Whether you want to keep in touch with a cross-play team while destroying enemies, or stay up late chatting while watching videos on the PS5’s media app, you can use Discord voice chat on your PS5 to collaborate. Now you can play, compete, or just share your thoughts with friends. Players can now focus on gameplay with just a few button presses on their DualSense(TM) wireless controller, without having to initiate a connection from the Discord PC or mobile app.
