Those who play on Sony consoles can now connect Discord to PS4 or PlayStation 5. The integration of PlayStation Network (PSN) with the chat platform is the result of a partnership between the two companies, which began in May 2021.
With the two accounts linked, you can show your Discord friends what you’re currently playing. If you want, you can still display your PSN Online ID in your profile. Learn below how to connect Discord on PS4 or PS5.
