Sony revolutionizes PS5 multiplayer experience with new invite feature

Sony is set to enhance the multiplayer gaming experience on the PlayStation 5 with a new feature that allows users to invite friends into a game, even if they are away from their console. This feature, expected to roll out later this year, enables players to generate a shareable link from their PS5 or the PlayStation App, which can be shared via messaging or social media platforms. Recipients can join the multiplayer session directly through the link, promoting seamless gameplay without the need to be friends on the PlayStation Network first.

It's important to note that all players joining a PS5 multiplayer session must have the game installed, and a PlayStation Plus subscription is required for most PS5 multiplayer games. This feature is exclusive to PS5 games and does not support PS4 games or backward-compatible titles. While most games will seamlessly support this new technology, a small percentage may require updates for smooth integration.

Additionally, Sony has developed a unique widget for PS5 session invites shared in Discord, providing real-time updates on the session status. In the near future, players will also be able to share PlayStation Network profiles through generated links from various platforms, further enhancing the social gaming experience.

As Sony continues to innovate and update the PS5, which has sold over 50 million units worldwide since its launch in November 2020, players can expect more features and improvements to enhance their gaming experience. With the rumored release of a PS5 Pro later this year, the future looks promising for PlayStation enthusiasts.
