Discord and Sony announced a partnership in May 2021 to make it easier to use Discord on your PS4 or PS5, and while it’s taken a while for the partnership to produce fruit, we’re starting to see the effects now. Discord: What is it and how do I use it? The free gaming chat app was investigated. Discord has announced that it will begin integrating PlayStation Network accounts with its own, allowing your Discord pals to see when you’re playing something on your console, a functionality that has been available on Xbox for years.
Whether this leads to an eventual full Discord app that lets you chat using the service instead of Sony’s own built-in party system, unlocking cross-platform chatting among other boons, is anyone’s guess, but it’s nice to see PlayStation catching up. You can read a bit more detail about this integration’s rollout in the Discord blog post here.
It means that you can display the game you’re playing, your PlayStation Network ID for friends to add you with, and your status all without having to worry about fiddling around with your status manually. The steps are just the same as linking any other service, just by heading to User Settings > Connections on the app or program, then clicking on the PlayStation logo to begin the process. If you can’t see the logo yet, that suggests that the change hasn’t quite reached your territory.
