In May 2021, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan and Discord announced an exclusive partnership that would bring the two platforms together on Sony consoles and mobile devices starting in early 2022. Now it's time for Discord to reveal what the partnership is all about. First, it's expected to fully integrate the PlayStation Network into Discord. In a statement, the gamers' favorite chat platform said:
“” Starting today, we're gradually rolling out the ability to link your PSN account from Discord and view your PS4 or PS5 gaming activity in your user profile! If you've already connected your Discord account to another service that allows you to display your activity, it works the same way here.»
Still basic features
Nothing particularly innovative or exclusive then, PlayStation Network integration works like Twitch, Steam, Facebook, or Xbox. Your activity will automatically be visible on the Discord platform, whether it's the web version, the PC app, or the mobile app. You can also choose to show your friends your PSN ID.
It seems that these features, for the moment basic, are just the beginning for the partnership with PlayStation, so Discord advises to keep an eye out for more news in the future. In the meantime, you can take advantage of the possibility of consulting the activity of your friends and send them a message more easily if you ever want to join their game.
In the United States first, in France later
For the moment, the PSN integration only concerns the United States, and some players in other countries. Discord reveals that it will be done gradually in all the other countries where the platform is available.
