What Do You Need to Connect Your Discord and PSN Account?
You’re going to need a Discord account and a PSN account to connect both of them together. You can connect the two account from either mobile or PC.
This may sound obvious but some people play without setting up their PlayStation Network account and prefer to play as Guests.
What Can You Do On Discord Once Your PlayStation Account is Connected?
What you can do is display the games you are currently playing on Discord once your PlayStation account is connected. You cannot use Discord to chat with friends or as an alternative to PS Party.
It is definitely disappointing to realize that the collaboration between Discord and Sony amounts to just giving players the ability to flex their games’ library. If you’re on crossplay you can’t hop on Discord and chat with your friends on your PS4 or PS5.
Help! My Discord Won’t Show My PlayStation Activity!
If you’ve set all the above up and still cannot display your PlayStation activity on Discord you have to set up your PSN Online Status and Now Playing Privacy to “Anyone” on PSN.
You might also want to double check on Discord that you’ve enabled the PSN profile to “Display on Profile” and “Display PlayStation Network as your status” and that should fix the issue.
