They have come to light, a series of leaks and according to reports, PlayStation would be adding Discord voice chat to its console in the coming months. That’s how it is, Discord which is one of the biggest social platforms out there, even outside of gaming, which could be a great way to bring people together and organize communities in a convenient and compact space, plus the service has been used by those interested in the stock market, movies, sports and much more.
Some developers have even set up official servers to keep in touch with fans and organize events with members of their community, and the main reason to use Discord is its voice chat, which allows people to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world. world, and while voice chat is far from a novel concept, Discord’s approach has helped fill in the gaps in the gaming scene.
Especially, with cross-play becoming more and more prominent, gamers have been using Discord as a way to “party chat” on all platforms here the only problem is that it seems that now the platform holders are trying to integrate Discord into their ecosystems i.e. it was recently confirmed that Xbox is adding Discord voice chat, and it’s even available to select users right now.
So PlayStation, which also announced a partnership with Discord in 2021 that started by allowing users to show which PlayStation games they’re playing to other Discord users, and according to Tom Henderson from eXputer, full Discord integration is expected to be added to Playstation 5 in the 7.00 update, with 6.00 scheduled for mid-September, and progress reportedly “It goes very well” and, although no fixed date has been set, it is expected to launch in late 2022.
