When you're playing something with your friends, be it a co-op game or competitive multiplayer, you often don't want to bother with game chat and want to stay separated, talking only to your friends. Hopping into a party, or Voice Chat, with another player isn't totally straightforward on PS5. Fortunately, it's a simple enough process to repeat once you've gone through it once. Here's how to set up a party on PS5.

- Alternatively, press Options, then select Game Base, then press Triangle to create a Party.

If you want to do more than message each other, create a Voice Chat.
Once the other player (or players) accept, you're free to start talking. You can share screens with each other or just continue to hang out.
