PlayStation Discord integration is now live for PS4 and PS5, letting players display their console activity on the communications platform.
Integration for PlayStation and Discord is now live for PS4 and PS5, allowing users to display their console activity on the communications service. Discord, which first launched in 2015, is a media messaging platform enabling communications through text, video calls, and voice chat for its over 140 million monthly active users.
After Sony made a minority investment during Discord’s Series H round, PlayStation CEO and President Jim Ryan announced that PlayStation users would soon be able to connect via Discord, with the goal of enabling players to create communities, join groups, and chat with friends while playing games directly through PS4 and PS5 consoles.
Recent news of Sony acquiring Destiny developer Bungie is just one of its major steps to compete with Microsoft's ever-expanding gaming division, and the new Discord integration is another. Though there isn’t an official Discord app available on PlayStation, it’s speculated that the partnership will eventually culminate in a full integration sometime in the near future.
Though it doesn’t seem like a lot, seeing whether a particular user is online and what game they are currently playing allows users to connect even quicker, instead of the guesswork involved in figuring out who is free to game. Connecting the PlayStation Network adds PlayStation games to the mix and is an important first step towards full Discord integration with PS4 and PS5 consoles.
