 Discord voice chat is now live on Xbox

Discord is one of the most popular messaging platforms used by video game enthusiasts thanks to its voice chat functionalities and room-based servers. It was previously confirmed that the service would soon be coming to systems other than PC and mobile – namely PlayStation and Xbox. With PlayStation getting the functionality earlier this year, Discord is now officially on Xbox.

Making the announcement on the Xbox Blog, Eric Voreis, the Principal Product Manager of Player Experience and Platforms at Xbox said “Starting today, Discord Voice is available on all Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles.”

Elaborating further on its implementation, Voreis explained “With this update, you can now chat with anyone on Discord via voice channels or group calls directly from your console, making it easy to connect with friends across mobile, Xbox, and PC.”

The integration will also allow you to see who is in the call and speaking while you are playing on your console, as well as being able to adjust the sound and switch between Discord Voice and Xbox game chat on the fly while you play.

With more and more games allowing for cross-play and cross-save, it is exciting to see a single uniform platform of communication coming into form – allowing for everyone to communicate and play with everyone no matter your platform of choice.

KitGuru says: Are you excited for this update? Do you use Discord? How else should it be integrated? Let us know down below.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
