PlayStation has announced that it has entered a partnership with popular communication app Discord.
This partnership sees Sony making a minority investment into Discord, and will see the Discord integration into PlayStation consoles and mobile app starting next year in 2022.
Discord is a massively popular communication app for voice and text chat, and has now transcend its gaming roots in terms of usage.
Discord was reportedly in talks with Microsoft for an acquisition deal before the former decides to remain independent.
This marks a big win on Sony’s side to get a slice of Discord. Especially if it means an improved chat and party experience when using a PS4 or PS5.
