Sony has finally rolled out a feature allowing gamers to directly join Discord voice chats from the PS5. It is a long-requested feature from gamers and continues the trend of increasing Discord accessibility from within the console. While it was possible to join voice chats from the console since last year, players had to rely on the app to get into them. However, with this latest update, you can now directly jump into audio calls from within a game, streamlining the entire process.

The feature has started rolling out to a few users, and Sony expects it to become fully available within the upcoming few weeks. In this guide, we will list the detailed steps to use the feature from inside the console.
