Sony regularly brings new features to the PS4 and PS5. Now users hope that another feature will come in 2022.
Sony is actively expanding its PS5 with new features and functions. At the end of 2021, Sony enabled the use of an SSD in the PS5. But in 2022, there are likely to be some features that users might enjoy. A PS5 Pro is expected to be announced in the near future.
Now players hope that a long-awaited feature could come to the PS4 and PS5. We’re talking about Discord, a popular communication platform among gamers.
Is Discord finally coming to PS4 and PS5?
What happened now? A user posted a screenshot on reddit showing how he can log into Discord (via reddit.com).
The image shows that he can log into Discord with his PlayStation account (PlayStation Network) and link the two accounts.
However, there are no official statements yet on whether this is actually true and how such an integration of Discord with the PS4 and PS5 would look like. There has not yet been an official announcement. However, Sony partnered with Discord in 2021.
If there is an official announcement from Sony about this, we will update the news for you and add the relevant information.
Sony has partnered with Discord
Sony formed a partnership with Discord in May 2021 (via sie.com). In this context, Sony stated that they want to integrate Discord firmly into PlayStation.
Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony, explained that they want to connect Discord and PlayStation more closely:
Our teams are already working hard to connect Discord with your social network and gaming experience on PlayStation Network. Our goal is to link the Discord and PlayStation experiences on consoles and mobile devices even closer together starting early next year, so friends, groups, and communities can meet, have fun, and communicate more easily while playing games together.

The first screenshots showing that users can link their accounts are therefore not surprising. This indicates that Sony is significantly further along with the integration than has been officially announced. In the end, it is only a matter of time before Sony officially presents the integration of Discord on PS4 and PS5.
More features are expected to come to PS5
Sony itself has stated that it is working on many new features for the PS5. Hideaki Nishino, Vice President of Platform Experience at PlayStation, explained that they want to address a long list of functions and have also received many requests from gamers.
There are several things that gamers want for their PS5, including:
- Support for WQHD resolution (1440p)
- Custom folders on PlayStation 5 for games, music, and more
- Themes for PS5
Which of these will be implemented in the future, he did not say, but in the future, we can expect some exciting features and functions on the PS5:
