Get a Sneak Peak into the Potential PSN Discord Integration in 2023‍

Many gamers are getting impatient with the PlayStation Network (PSN) integration on the Discord app. This will unlock new opportunities for gamers to connect directly to their Discord friends and use the app's features on their PlayStation consoles.

Some sources hint that this daydream of gamers will soon become a reality in 2023.

PlayStation-Discord Integration Via New Update in 2023

Tom Henderson received information that the PlayStation-Discord integration will be available on March 8, 2023. The source hinted that the 7.00 software update would have the integration. This will be available on PlayStation 5, allowing friends to connect on the Discord voice chat.

Like the Xbox integration, gamers must connect their PlayStation account to Discord. PlayStation 4 owners won't be able to access the upcoming update for voice integration on their PS.

However, they can still display their PlayStation games on their Discord accounts. Another leak from a Twitter user showed images of Discord's PlayStation 5 voice integration. The images from the Discord mobile app show that members will have to use the mobile app to join voice calls before moving on to their console.

Sony and Discord Partnership: What's in it for Gamers?

The PlayStation, a brainchild of Sony interactive entertainment, stated that they constantly seek new ways to help players connect globally and develop new communities and friendships. This propelled the platform to partner with Discord, a communication service popularized in 2018 and has over 140 million monthly users.

The goal is to bring gamers closer on console and mobile. Sony invested in Discord's series H round to make this goal possible.

Although gamers await the Discord voice integration on PlayStation, you can still connect your PlayStation Network account to Discord.
