Before getting into the troubleshooting process, if play station is not showing up in Discord, try different games.

Also, check with Internet connections, and make sure it is stable and working fine.

1. Game Is In A Hidden Game File List In Play Station

Play Station is inactive; you must check the hidden file list in your Play Station and Unhide the game file.

For PS 5:

Now restart your Play Station; you can view the play station status on Discord.

2. Check The Visibility Setting In Play Station

If the visibility setting of your Play Station is not in Public, you cannot see the play station status in Discord.

  • Go to Gaming and Media, set the visibility for Activities to Everyone.
  • Also, Go to “Game History” and put it to “Everyone.”

3. Check Online Status In Play Station

You must set the online status to Anyone to see the play station in your Discord Account.

For PS4:

  • Go to your PlayStation account Home screen and navigate to Profile.
  • Press Profile > Change Privacy Settings page.
  • Open up Privacy Settings and locate Personal Info | Messaging

For PS5:

  • Go to Privacy in the left-hand column, then choose View and Customize Your Privacy Settings.
  • Under the “Who can see your online status and what you’re currently playing” option, select Anyone.

The settings might vary from one version to another.

4. Turn Off All Other Connections In Plays Station

If the error persists, there might be a conflict with the other services connected.

If any additional services like Spotify or Youtube are integrated with your play station, remove them.

Now restart your PS4 and Discord for these changes to take effect. 

Failing this, try unlinking and relinking Discord and PSN

The final step is to remove and reconfigure the Play station with your Discord.

l In Discord, head into User Settings > Connections on desktop or web.
