Discord Support Is Now Available For The Playstion 4 and Playstation 5!

Discord

You can now link your favorite Discord community to your Playstation account, making it easier for your friends to connect with you when you’re away from the app. After months and months of waiting, Discord has finally started to roll out connectivity between users’ PSN accounts and the digital distribution platform.
While this latest connection is a bit limited, it will allow users to see which titles they’re playing on Sony’s current and last-gen platforms. Of course, this type of info is already available for those who connect their Steam and Blizzard accounts, to name a few.
In order to use Discord on your PS4 or PS5, you’ll need to connect your PSN account via the PC or phone app. Click here to see the full announcement and instructions from Discord. From the images below, it looks like a simple process.

Whether you stick to single-player games or enjoy having your friends join in on multiplayer endeavors, your friends from all over the world will be able to see all sorts of PlayStation games you’re playing and start a conversation about wanting to jump in and play with you.

From what I can tell, this integration will not include streaming game footage to Discord yet. Luckily, Discord does work alongside Twitch. So, there are workarounds. If and when you do connect your PSN account to Discord, this is how your profile will look to others:

A negative aspect about this I noticed is that Discord states, “your PSN Privacy Settings, your “PSN Online Status” and “Now Playing” visibility must be set to “Anyone” for your status to be visible on Discord.” So, if you wanted to keep things private on PSN, that’ll have to change if you want visibility on Discord.
What do you think of this somewhat minimal integration between Playstation and Discord? Let us know in the comments section below.
