Sony and Discord Join Hands For Better PlayStation Experience
The rivalry between Sony’s PlayStation and Microsoft’s Xbox is well known for years, as both of them spec their consoles very competitively. And Discord, a key communication platform popular among gamers will be a huge addition if either (Sony or Microsoft) of them acquires. And Microsoft did try sucking it for a $10 billion deal early this year but disappeared by just making the hype. While it didn’t fall out, Sony made a grand announcement today that it’s patterning with Discord for integrating the chat platform into its PlayStation Network! This move came after Sony invested a minority stake in Discord in its Series H round. While how exactly Sony does it isn’t known yet, it promised to share more news on it in the coming months. Announcing this decision, Sony Interactive’s President and CEO, Jim Rayan said, This is a huge move, as PlayStation console gamers can soon be communicating with their partners simultaneously while playing. While this is happening even now, integrating the two into one platform makes it easier, and effective. Sony said the goal is to “bring the Discord and PlayStation experiences closer together on console and mobile starting early next year.”
