PlayStation players can now join parties via QR code
PlayStation is rolling out an update to the way multiplayer parties work on PlayStation.
Included in the update is a new way to invite other players to multiplayer parties using a shareable link.
These links will be in the form of QR codes which can be posted to social platforms or via third-party apps like WhatsApp and iMessage.
“This feature is designed to complement existing methods of joining a session from within a PS5 game and is consistent for any supported PS5 game,” reads a blog post explaining the changes.
