      If they’re lucky they will at least get the Krisp feature from discord to clean up the audio.

      But if the Xbox version is anything to go by, this is probably gonna suck.

    About time, the process for joining a VC on PS5 has been annoying as all hell. Still waiting for screen sharing, though.

      I would have expected this like, 7 years ago when discord became the standard for voice chat. I’m shocked it’s just happening now

        Well Discord now is more than an app for voice chat, it’s a social network on its own, with its own trackers and privacy issues (without mentioning ads). Difference is discord I not asking companies to pay for their API.

      You have to enter a voice call from another device, either your PC or your phone. Once you’re connected, you can “transfer” the call to your PS5 from the other device. Once transferred, you can access audio controls or leave the call via a card in the PS menu. If you leave the call, you have to join it again from the other device and transfer it back to your PS5 again.

      It’s a bit cumbersome, but it gets the job done and gives you better audio quality than you’d get from bluetooth. I use a Sony InZone headset, so the audio from the PS5 is from its own wireless protocol with a USB dongle, instead of bluetooth.

      Being able to do it all straight from my PS menu is going to be a huge relief, because I’m tired of annoying my friends by joining a call, and being silent for another 20 seconds while I transfer the call from my phone.
