And PlayStation has announced a new patch for its next-generation console with which, in addition to integrating performance and stability improvements of the software, also added new features For the users. In fact, one of the most important innovations lies in the possibility of join Discord calls from the consolewithout the need to use a PC or mobile.
As indicated in the official update notesthis Discord feature can be used right now: “Now you can start a Discord voice chat or join one already created from your PS5.
Open Game Base in the control center and select the Discord tab to access the servers and make direct calls.” Until a few days ago, users were required to manually transfer calls from a smartphone or a computer to the Sony console.
Now, Discord is not the only thing that has been touched in version 24.04-09.40.00.

In short, connection stability has been improved, an issue that caused devices to turn off when connecting an audio cable has been fixed, and the intensity of a Pulse Elite light has been changed.

As stated in the notes, these players now “can Link and add third-party services and apps to your PlayStation Network account to enjoy benefits and functions that improve the gaming experience.” Which, in other words, allows you to use functions such as Discord voice chat, music streaming via Apple Music and Spotify, or game sharing through from YouTube and Twitch. Parents and legal guardians, on the other hand, will have more parental controls.
