Discord is application software that makes all this a reality! It is built specifically to aid in communicating over voice, text, and video while online. You can send and receive messages seamlessly with Discord and get to hang out with your friends across the world when logged in to the app. Yes, you can use Discord on your PS5. However, the console does not natively support the use of Discord. Furthermore, PS5 is not coupled with internet browsing features, and getting Discord to work on your PS5 might seem a little bit out of the question but it’s not.

The feature is already live for Xbox Series users and works like a charm there, it is good to see the PS5 also getting this feature and it is something fans have been waiting for. The ease of Discord integration is something you need to experience in person to appreciate it. Now you can skip creating a ‘PS Party’ on your PlayStation and simply move the call over to your PS5.
