A QR code pops up alongside the link, though Sony warns you might have to update a few of your games for the new feature to work. One of the best things about this tool is the invite isn&#8217;t immediately time-sensitive, so the link will still drop the recipient into your game 10 or 30 minutes from when its sent as long as you&#8217;re still playing. If you send the link on Discord, a widget should appear to say if people are still playing or have dropped off.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the new share method is another update that lets you open Game Help action cards through <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/sony-playstation-4-5-system-update-223001341.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Voice Command;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Voice Command<\/a>. All you need to do is say &#8220;Show Game Help,&#8221; and it should pop up. However, Voice Command (Preview) is currently available only in English for gamers in the US and UK with PlayStation Network accounts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/new-ps5-update-makes-it-easier-to-join-multiplayer-games-123730301.html?src=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Anyone with a PlayStation 5 should now have a smoother option for connecting with other gamers.
