PS5 Voice Channels in the Discord Era: Using the Xbox Insiders on the Skip-ahead Alpha Rings to Test Crossplay

All voice channels can be seen across all the Discord servers if you use theXbox Insiders on the Skip-ahead Alpha rings to test these changes today. Connecting no longer requires you to transfer the call with the Xbox or Discord mobile apps, and once your account is linked for the first time, you can freely join straight from your Xbox.

Allowing PS5 players to chat to PC and Xbox players without needing to use in-game chat features is a great addition to crossplay. Microsoft made it easier for owners of the xbox to join their voice channels from their console without using a phone or PC. Hopefully we’ll see Sony do the same in the coming months.

Variable refresh rate support will be available for the PS5 with the Discord support. This means compatible HDMI 2.1 displays can enable VRR at 1440p to benefit from smoother visual performance in games.

Sony is also improving the social aspects of the share screen feature and party chats inside the PS5 dashboard, with a new “friends who play” tile now appearing so you can see which friends are currently playing a game. Sony’s also making it easier for games to access and load PS4 saved data on a PS5. A new option has also been added to allow PS5 owners to transfer data and games between PS5 consoles using a local Wi-Fi or LAN connection.

While the PS app currently supports auto-upload for screenshots or game clips, you’ll soon be able to upload game captures manually. PS4 saved data can be accessed easier on a PS5 and new games can load it. There is a new option to take PS5 data and games from one console to another using a local internet connection.

Sony is improving its voice command support with this new update. PS5 owners in the US and UK now have the option to say “Hey, capture that!” to have their video clip saved. You can ask for timed clips with commands, such as capture the last 5 minutes.
