Discord arrives on PlayStation: everything you need to know

The connection of PS5 and PS4 console accounts on Discord is something that has been requested for a long time; now it will be possible, although it is important to emphasize that PlayStation Network account connection is gradually rolling out to U.S. Discord users. As such, some users may not yet be able to connect their accounts..

“If you’ve ever connected your Discord account to another service that allows you to display your activity, it works similarly here: once your Discord account is linked, the game you’re currently playing on either PS4 or PS5 will be shown as your activity, just like that!,”says the service's official website in a press release. “You can even opt to display your PlayStation Network online ID on your profile so your Discord friends can add you and tag along. It’s especially great for knowing if your friend is currently playing a game that supports cross-play on another platform,”is mentioned.

How to connect a PlayStation Network account on Discord?

Connecting a PlayStation Network account on Discord is really simple; it is based on the same methods as with other existing services. We leave an attached image to make things easier for you. These are the steps you should follow:

  1. Sign in to Discord and head into User Settings.
  2. In User Settings, go to Connections.
  3. On this page, you’ll see all the possible connections and will see a newly-added PlayStation icon.
  4. Choose that, and a window will ask you to authorize the operation, log in to PlayStation and finally link your account.

When you have finished you will see that two new options are displayed: “Display on Profile” and “Display PlayStation Network as your status.” Finally, it is worth saying that you can configure PlayStation visibility and privacy options. By default you will not be visible on Discord, so for others to know that you are playing on your PlayStation console you must set the online status to Anyone.
