If you enjoy online multiplayer games on PS5, you know that inviting friends to join your game is a bit complicated, especially when you meet new people. But soon, everything will be much simpler. Sony has just announced the upcoming availability of an update bringing a feature that will change everything to the way you do it.
A highly anticipated feature
No more need to make friend requests to play with people you know, or meet. Sabrina Meditz, who is a product director at Sony, informed us that we will be able to go through a link to join a multiplayer session, even without having added the other player as a friend on the PlayStation Network.
This is a small revolution that will allow you, for example, to share your link on a Discord server or a WhatsApp group conversation, and to invite whoever wants to play with you without having to search for them one by one on your PS5. This can save you a lot of time for one-time sessions (like one-night stands) or for massively multiplayer titles that can include up to 8 protagonists.
A link to invite them all
To do this, nothing could be simpler. On PS5, simply go to the Game Base when you are in the game, and click on the social tab. An option will then appear to share a link via a QR Code. You will need to scan this QR code to get the invitation link that you can then send to your friends. Otherwise, you can also use the PlayStation app on mobile which provides you with the link directly on the home page, below the current game.
This link is shareable on all platforms and the recipient only needs to have a PSN account (and a PlayStation Plus subscription for online games) to join your session. The update is not yet available, so it is normal if you do not see this feature yet. Sony has not yet revealed the date chosen for its deployment, but the firm promises that it will soon be available to all PS5 owners.
At the end of its press release, the company also confirms that other measures will arrive soon to further facilitate connections between players. However, we do not know if this will concern cross-platform, which has been much more present in recent years, and even more so now that Sea of Thieves is available on the console.
