Discord Rolls Out PSN Account Integration
Back in May 2021, Sony’s CEO Jim Ryan announced to bring PlayStation Network’s integration with Discord. At the time, he mentioned that many developers were working on the Discord-PSN integration for an improved social and gaming experience on Sony consoles. But, the exact time of arrival wasn’t known.
Now, building on the plan, Discord has finally rolled out the PSN integration for its users across the world. This integration will let you display your console activity on the voice-based social platform.
Once you connect your account, your Discord profile will display the game or app you are currently playing on your PS4 or PS5. You can also showcase your PSN ID on your Discord profile with the integration.

So, if you want to connect your PSN account to your Discord profile, follow the steps below.
Open the Discord app on your desktop or go to the web client.Log into your Discord account and click the “User Settings” button at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Note: If you open the Discord app on your desktop, you will get a new notification to connect your PSN account. You can click the “Connect” button here to instantly connect your PSN account.
