Discord is finally allowing PlayStation Network (PSN) users to link their accounts to it. This news comes after an initial announcement back in May 2021 that it was working closely with Sony to “bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile.”
It has been a few months since then, but this long-requested feature is now official and will slowly be implemented in the coming months. Owners of the PS4 and PS5 consoles are getting what they want at long last, with proper PSN integration with their Discord accounts.
Discord is an instant messaging service that was released back in 2015, and it was initially marketed as a social platform wherein gamers can come together to discuss their love for all things gaming. Since then, it has gradually become the preferred chat app for both gamers and non-gamers alike. With PSN integration now in tow, its widespread appeal is only going to get stronger.
Linking your account to Discord will let your friends see your gaming activity and see what game you’re currently playing on your PlayStation console. You can also add your PSN ID to your Discord profile so it will be easier for others to add you. The new feature can be accessed via the User Settings>Connections menu across desktop, mobile, and web versions.
This news comes after Sony made an announcement that it will be acquiring game developer Bungie, known for the Destiny games, for $3.6 billion. Do note that this feature will be a slow rollout, and will start with users in the US first. Expect more countries to be added to its list soon after. Hopefully, the wait won’t take too long.
