 PS5 Update Streamlines Multiplayer Game Invites and Introduces Voice Command for Game Help



Sony has released a new system software update for the PlayStation 5 that significantly improves the experience of joining multiplayer games. The update introduces a feature that allows users to create shareable links to invite others to their multiplayer games, even if they are not friends on the PlayStation Network.

Key Features of the Update:

  • Shareable Links for Multiplayer Invites: Users can now easily generate a link or QR code within the PlayStation app and share it with anyone to invite them to join a multiplayer game. This eliminates the need for complex friend requests or sharing PlayStation Network IDs.
  • Time Flexibility: The invites are not immediately time-sensitive, allowing recipients to join a game even if they receive the link 10 or 30 minutes after it was sent, as long as the game session is still active.
  • Discord Integration: A special widget appears in Discord when a PS5 session invite link is shared, dynamically updating to show the status of the multiplayer session.
  • Voice Command for Game Help: The update also introduces a voice command feature, currently available in English for US and UK users, that allows them to open Game Help action cards by saying "Show Game Help."

This update simplifies the process of joining multiplayer games on the PS5, making it more accessible and convenient for players to connect with friends and others. The voice command feature adds another layer of convenience, especially for players who prefer hands-free navigation.

It is important to note that the voice command feature is currently in preview mode and limited to English language users in the US and UK. Additionally, the shareable links feature currently only works for open game sessions.

Overall, this update is a welcome addition to the PS5, enhancing the user experience and making multiplayer gaming more seamless and enjoyable.
