PlayStation partnering with Discord
0PlayStation is partnering with Discord.
As a result of the new integration, Discord will now be able to connect "with your social and gaming experience on PlayStation Network" within the next year, bosses hope.
Jim Ryan, Sony Interactive Entertainment president, explained in a blog post: "At PlayStation, we’re constantly looking for new ways to enable players around the world to connect with one another, form new friendships and communities, and share fun experiences and lasting memories. It’s in this spirit that we’re excited to announce a new partnership with Discord, the communication service popularised by gamers and used by more than 140 million people every month around the world.
"Together, our teams are already hard at work connecting Discord with your social and gaming experience on PlayStation Network. Our 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 together."
As part of this, Sony have invested an undisclosed sum into Discord.
He added: "To bring these experiences to life for our players, Sony Interactive Entertainment has made a minority investment as part of Discord’s Series H round. From our very first conversation with co-founders Jason Citron and Stan Vishnevskiy, I was inspired by their lifelong love for gaming and our teams’ shared passion to help bring friends and communities together in new ways. Empowering players to create communities and enjoy shared gaming experiences is at the heart of what we do, so we are beyond excited to start this journey with one of the world’s most popular communication services."PlayStation is partnering with Discord.
