After nearly a year in the making, it looks like Discord is finally ready for us to utilize their service with the PlayStation Network. The company announced that they have begun rolling out the ability to link PlayStation accounts to the service, something that has been a long requested feature from both sides of the spectrum. The rollout will be on the limited side as Discord is still working out some of the features and kinks before fully going into it, but the basic functions are already there and ready for use.

As we already mentioned, you’re now able to link your PlayStation account to Discord itself. This will allow others in your server, or friends list, to see what you’re playing. You can also make it so that your online PSN name is shown, which will give others the chance to add you to their friend list on their network, and for future play sessions. The setup is fairly simple as it works similarly to other gaming networks and social media connections when liking them to Discord. Just go into your User Settings and go into Connections, then look for the PlayStation logo on your Connect Your Accounts section. Clicking on it will bring up the PSN login screen where then enter your credentials, linking your accounts.

In their blog post, Discord states that the rollout will be going for around one week in the United States. As for other regions, the company says that they will be giving them the feature starting sometime next week, although they did not specify what day or time this would occur. This is just one of many things going on with Discord and Sony, with the former working on implementing many other features into their software for future use. As for the latter, Sony only made some serious waves when they announced that they had acquired Bungie for roughly $3.6 billion. Just another day in the video game industry.
