PS5 Version 7 Update Brings Discord Integration, VRR Support for 1440p Resolution, and More
Sony has rolled out a new PS5 update bringing Discord integration and support for variable refresh rate (VRR) at 1440p resolution. Originally tested in beta, the feature will now allow players to answer Discord calls from their console, albeit after transferring the call from their PC or phone app over to the system. Before that, however, users will be expected to link their Discord account by navigating to ‘Linked Services' in the PS5 settings. The hefty version 7 update also brings a screen-sharing functionality, the ability to record gameplay via voice commands, and an option to transfer saved data across PlayStation consoles.
As per a report by The Verge, the Discord integration currently allows for voice calls and doesn't include text messages or the ability to access servers. To be fair, it took Xbox a fair bit of time before it integrated Discord directly onto the console in November last year, allowing you to access the options directly on an Xbox system. So hopefully, for PlayStation, this is just the first step in the right direction.
PS5's new Discord integration is great for cross-play, enabling smooth voice communication across platforms, given it's a third-party app. Once set up, players can control their volume, mute audio, or minimise it while they continue playing their game(s).
