How to Connect Xbox to Discord
Discord is a popular voice and text chat platform used by gamers all over the world. Recently, Microsoft and Sony made it possible to integrate Discord with Xbox and PS5 consoles. This integration allows gamers to join Discord calls directly from their console. Here’s how to connect your Xbox to Discord.
On Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft added voice chat via Discord in November 2020. This means Xbox owners can join Discord calls directly on their console. To enable Discord on Xbox, gamers must first install the Xbox mobile app, log in and link their Xbox account to their Discord account. Then, they can access the Discord app and join voice chats directly from the Xbox console.
In the video, it's mentioned that the PlayStation Discord integration was released earlier in March 2021, which finally brings Discord to all PS5 users for the first time. More details can be found on the Discord blog. This addition brings the PS5 up to par with the Xbox Series X/S, as both consoles now have Discord support. Those who own a PS5 can now use Discord voice chat on the console, just as you can on Xbox. However, for now at least, you will need to connect to the Discord app on a mobile device or computer.
It’s worth noting that Microsoft already got the jump on Sony as it launched Discord support for Xbox consoles last year. Xbox shared the latest games to join its subscription service Game Pass in a blog announcement earlier today, and it’s looking pretty good. This includes games such as Outriders, MLB The Show 21, and more.
Arkane's upcoming FPS, Redfall will allow players across Xbox and PC platforms to play together in co-op. Arkane Studios recently held a Q&A on its Discord servers, where they revealed more details about the game. Hogwarts Legacy is scheduled to release on February 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, April 4 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and later this year for Google Stadia. This game will be available on Xbox Game Pass from launch.
To sum up, Discord integration on Xbox and PS5 consoles has made it easier for gamers to join voice chat directly from their console. Xbox owners can enable Discord on their console by installing the Xbox mobile app, logging in and linking their Xbox account to their Discord account. PS5 owners can access the Discord app and join voice chats from a mobile device or computer. With the latest games joining Xbox Game Pass, there’s never been a better time to connect your Xbox to Discord.
