Introducing PlayStation’s innovative sharing feature, inviting friends to game together on the PS5 through various chat apps.

PlayStation has introduced a new feature that allows users to invite friends to play games together on the PlayStation 5 by sending links through the app, messaging, and various social media platforms, which will be available for use in the future.

Users can create links through the Share Link menu on the PlayStation 5, the PlayStation App on mobile devices, and the PlayStation website. The system will generate a URL link in the form of a QR code for users to copy and share with those they want to invite to play games.

The highlight of this feature is that users can invite people to play games together without having to be friends on the PlayStation Network. However, as this is a new feature, some PS5 games may require an update to smoothly utilize this feature.

Additionally, PlayStation will add a widget when sharing game invite links on Discord, which will display real-time status information of the user, allowing them to know if the game session is still open before their friends join.
