PS5 players will soon be able to join Discord voice chat directly from their console, without having to rely on the Discord PC or mobile apps to initiate the connection, thanks to a new update that is starting to roll out today, Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced. Profile Share, an additional feature that allows players to share their PlayStation Network profile on any messaging or social app, is also rolling out next week, Sony confirmed.
PlayStation on how PS5 players can join Discord voice chat:
- “To start, select the Discord tab in Game Base within the PS5 Control Center and choose the Discord server or DM group you’d like to join.”
- “Then, select your preferred voice channel. This will reveal more details, such as who is already in the channel chatting. You’ll also receive a PS5 console notification when another Discord user calls you, allowing you to join right away.”
- “This update will make it easier than ever to quickly hop into Discord conversations with other gamers. It will gradually roll out over the coming weeks, starting with players in Japan/Asia, followed by Europe, Australia/New Zealand, and the Middle East, and finally the Americas.”
- “Please note that you will need to update your console to the latest system software, and your accounts for PlayStation Network and Discord must be linked.”

Starting next week, we’re also rolling out the ability for you to share your PlayStation Network profile on any messaging or social app. To begin, select “Share Profile” from PlayStation App or the PS5 console to generate a shareable link or QR code. When the recipient opens the link, they’ll have the option to add you as a friend once they’re signed in to PlayStation Network.
