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.
How to Discord voice chats on servers from the PS5?
Joining a Discord voice chat on servers is pretty straightforward on the PS5. I wrote about how to set Discord up back when it launched. Once you have ensured the console is up to date and the app is ready, follow these steps:
Step 1. On the home page, navigate to Game Base in the control center.
Step 2. At the bottom of the left panel, you can find Discord. Tap on the icon.
Step 3. From here on, the process is straightforward. Just select the server where you and your friends hang out.
Step 4. All voice channels will be listed in the left panel. Click the one you want to join.
Step 5. Now, you can see a list with everyone already in the chat. Click the big 'Join' button to jump in.

Overall, joining Discord Voice Chats on PS5 is simple. I'd say it's simpler than on a PC. However, you must note that Xbox has had this feature for almost two years now and PlayStation is late to the party.
