PlayStation 5 is an excellent console by all accounts. This console has plenty of exclusives to justify its purchase. It has a controller that’s unlike any other and it is powerful enough to run most games at 1440p 60FPS.

But it still lacks a bunch of features, and fans continue asking Sony to somehow bring those features to this console. And now with its latest update, PlayStation 5 might be finally getting said features and much more!

A new Beta update adds Discord Voice Chat and VRR to PlayStation 5!

PlayStation 5 has sold over 32 million units; it was launched back in 2020 and selling this many units in three years is not a small feat. Fans everywhere are currently enjoying their favorite first or third-party games on this console. Some in 4k, others in 1440P, as PlayStation gives them that option.

This is how a good console works; it gives gamers freedom on how they wish to play their games. It has a gamepad that increases player immersion with its vibrations and adaptive triggers. You know if you are firing a shotgun or an assault rifle just by pressing a trigger. All these features and yet it was missing a very basic feature such as Discord voice chat.
