Sony has announced a new feature that will make it easier for PlayStation 5 users to invite friends to join games. Through the PlayStation App, exclusive links can be generated and shared through chat software and social platforms, allowing friends to quickly join the game through the link.
This new feature eliminates the need for players to add each other as friends before inviting them to play. This will be especially useful for live broadcast hosts and event organizers looking to invite viewers and participants to play together. The feature is expected to be officially launched in the second half of this year, along with the addition of a QR Code option for even quicker access.
While the feature is currently only available for PlayStation 5 games and not PlayStation 4 platform games, some games may require additional updates to support it. Additionally, users will need to subscribe to the PlayStation Plus service to access the multiplayer interface.
Sony has also developed an extension for Discord, a popular online platform among gamers and streamers. This extension will make it easier for players who join later to confirm if the game is still in progress. Another tool being developed will allow users to generate personal information on PlayStation Network through the PlayStation App and quickly share it with others through links.
Overall, Sony’s new feature is set to streamline the process of inviting friends to join games on the PlayStation 5, making it easier and more convenient for players to connect and play together.
