Playstation and Discord

The much-anticipated activation of the PlayStation Network (PSN) accounts linking feature to Discord is here.

In a blog post by Discord, the new attribute has been available to PS4 and PS5 users from January 31st, 2022. This link will allow the players to display and easily connect with their counterparts on social media.

Earlier in 2021, Sony Interactive Entertainment had shared the plan to merge with Discord Communication Service. In a post alluding to this partnership, Sony has been identifying ways to improve the gaming experience for PlayStation owners. For this reason, the two organizations have been working tirelessly to create a platform that will allow PS4 and PS5 players to enjoy endless social connectivity. 

PlayStation owners can share their game on Discord, pretty much as done on other communication platforms. However, Discord gives you an advantage to display your PSN ID, thus allowing other players to find and play with you.

This merger has not yet brought many exciting features. For instance, it is still not available for all PS owners. It is currently only available to U.S players. However, Discord plans to extend the integration to other countries gradually.

Moreso, the benefits from the few who can connect are limited to services that are already available in other communication arenas. Regardless, we expect unique integrating features to be rolled out in the future. For now, you can connect your PlayStation to Discord from various devices like Windows, iOS, and even the web app. 

How to Open an Intergrated Account

The procedure for opening the integrated account is as follows:

First, open the Discord exchange platform, then head to User Settings. Under the drop-down bar, click on “Connections” and Select the PlayStation icon. Now that you are at the integrating platform, all you need is to enter your PSN sign-in info into the authorization field and connect.

As PlayStation users enjoy this new feature, we anticipate more ventures from Discord and PlayStation.
