PlayStation Announces New Partnership With Discord
✖
Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced that it will integrate Discord, the popular digital communication service, into PlayStation's "social experience" early next year. As to what that looks like, exactly, the details are a little vague beyond SIE President and CEO Jim Ryan stating that the "goal is to bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile starting early next year, allowing friends, groups, and communities to hang out, have fun, and communicate more easily while playing games together."
From what it sounds like, the new partnership will allow folks to use Discord within various PlayStation social features, letting people use friends, groups, and communities together on both. Again, details are spare beyond the big picture stuff, so who knows whether Discord servers will go back and forth or if there will be some kind of walled garden for Discord x PlayStation, and there's plenty of time for PlayStation and Discord both to detail what exactly that looks like before early next year.
