Linking your accounts will let your Discord friends see what game you’re currently playing on your PlayStation, and you have the option of adding your PSN ID to your Discord profile so that other people can easily add you to the service. According to Discord’s announcement post, it’s “gradually rolling out the ability to link your PSN account from Discord,” so it may take some time before you can use it — Discord says up to a week if you’re in the US, with other countries coming next week.
If you want to link your PSN and Discord accounts, open Discord and then go to User Settings > Connections (on the mobile app, go to your profile, then tap Connections > Add). If the PlayStation logo is among the icons in the “Connect Your Accounts” menu, you can click on it to bring up a PSN login screen. After you enter your credentials, your accounts should be linked.
Connecting to PSN isn’t the only feature Discord has been working on — the company’s also been experimenting with a feature that would let you easily switch between accounts, an ability a lot of users want if the likes on this request for that feature are anything to go by.
