PlayStation x Discord Account Integration Now Arriving

PlayStation has announced that Discord functionality is now available via PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Like other Discord integrated services, players of these consoles can choose to connect to the chatting service to display their current gaming activity. Additionally, PlayStation Network IDs will be shown off alongside online statuses. This cross-platform compatibility is currently rolling out throughout the United States, so a recent Discord update on your device(s) should alert you when it is available. For clarity’s sake, PlayStation Plus is not required for this connectivity to occur.

To enact this process, users must go to the Connections tab within the Discord settings menu. If the option is not yet available, then the update has not arrived for you yet.

You can view more information regarding this new partnership via PlayStation’s official website and Discord’s official blog.

They will be an independent subsidiary of Sony run by the “…current CEO and chairman Pete Parsons and the rest of the studio’s current management team.” Further, Bungie will have the option to self-publish and remain multiplatform. Currently, the developer aims to expand upon the successful Destiny 2 alongside working on a new IP.
