PlayStation Disco🌞rd integration is going live in the US now, and you may be able to link up your accounts now if you're in one of the early waves.

The , which was 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:announced last year, allows users to display their PSN account name and current PS4 or PS5 game activity on their Discord profile, if they so desire. It doesn't bring Discord's communication features to PlayStation syst🅘ems – no joining a voice room or pinging your server from your PS5 – but it will still be handy for keeping up with what friends are playing regardless of where they're playing it.

To see if you're꧙ eligible to link your PlayStation and Discord accounts, just head to your Discord settings menu and select Connections. If you see a PlayStation Network icon, you're in. Log in to your PSN account on the next page and you'll 💧start syncing up. 

You ca🍸n display just your PSN profile name if you prefer, or you can go all the way by showing what you're playing too. Just keep in mind t♐hat your PlayStation profile must have both its PSN Online Status and Now Playing visibility options set to "Anyone" for it to work with the Discord activity display.

Disco♑rd says the new PlayStation integration is starting with a phased rollout in the US and additional countries will follow next♒ week.

PlayStation also announced a different kind of integration earlier today: Sony is buying Bungie for $3.6 billion, though the company will keep putting out Destiny 2 and future games on multiple platforms.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me p🍰lay Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesR𓆉adar.
