How to use Discord on PS5

Jesse Lennox

Discord is the standard voice and text chat platform for gamers these days, so it was surprising just how long it took before there was any official console integration on the PS5. While it isn't a native app, you can now at least use Discord to chat with your friends using your PS5, regardless if they're on another PS5, PC, or even mobile. Here's how to set it up.

Where to find Spider-Verse Web-Shooters in Fortnite
Fortnite character speaks with Gwen to buy Spider-Verse web-shooters

It's certainly never very surprising to see new Marvel content in Fortnite, as the ever-popular battle royale has a long history of crossovers with the property. However, it's always a fun time when we get new characters and themed items, and during these final weeks of Chapter 4 Season 2, players can get their hands on some Spider-Verse skins, challenges, and even Miles Morales' own web shooters. If you'd like to zip around the map and take on enemies from the trees and rooftops, you're in luck, as here's everything you need to know about finding and using the Spider-Verse Web-Shooters.
Where to get Spider-Verse Web-Shooters and how they work
Spider-Verse Web-Shooters can be found on the ground all across the battle royale map, meaning you'll simply have to seek them out and get a bit lucky with running across a set. However, if you'd like a guaranteed Spider-Verse Web-Shooter, you can always visit Gwen walking around the northern section of Slappy Shores, as she'll sell you a set for 600 gold bars. That's an admittedly large sum of gold for an item that only lasts for a single match, though, so it's worth thinking carefully about whether it's worth emptying out your wallet.

Regardless of how you get your hands on a set of Spider-Verse Web-Shooters, you'll find that they function identically to previous iterations of this notorious mobility item. You simply equip the web shooters and aim at a surface (preferably something higher than your current location), then deploy a string of web to swing forward. There are a maximum of 80 charges in a single web-shooter, so you have plenty of opportunities to move quickly around the map – but you still shouldn't waste charges unnecessarily or you may eventually run out during an important showdown near the end of the match.

Final Fantasy XVI’s first 3 hours play like a high fantasy Last of Us
Joshua speaks to Clive in Final Fantasy XVI.

When I demoed Final Fantasy XVI back in February, I had some questions. The slice I played was very much focused on the upcoming PS5 release’s combat system. I was immediately impressed with how fast and furious it was, bringing a bit of Devil May Cry to the RPG series. That said, there was quite a bit I didn’t see. The story mission I played would only give me a brief introduction to its hero, Clive Rosfield, and the war-torn nation in which the game takes place. I was itching to know more.

I’d get all those lingering questions answered when I went hands-on with the first three hours of the game, which launches on June 22. Rather than letting me test out an arsenal of spells, I’d start with a much less capable Clive with only a few attacks to his name. I’d get to see his full tragic backstory play out through long cinematics with only a few smaller gameplay snippets between. I’d leave my demo session with far fewer question marks, a bit more intrigue, and a couple of lingering concerns that could be alleviated later in the adventure.

Humanity is the best PS5 (and PSVR2) game I’ve played so far
Humans jump over a gap in Humanity.

Over the past few years, I’ve found myself mourning the PlayStation brand I grew up with. When I was a kid, PlayStation was an eccentric platform home to the kind of oddball creative swings you now only ever see indie publishers take a chance on. In the PS5 era, though, Sony has doubled down on a cinematic action-adventure formula that feels less safe (though likely way more profitable) by comparison. It’s an understandable pivot, but it leaves me hungry for more diverse experiences on my PS5.

Thankfully, that desire has been satiated with Humanity, a game that’s already nabbing several impressive accolades from me. It’s the best reason to subscribe to PS Plus, the best game currently available on PlayStation VR2, and perhaps the best PS5 console-exclusive period (it’s also available on PC via Steam). The unique puzzler has all the markings of those left-field PlayStation classics I love … except for the fact it wasn’t developed or published by Sony at all.
