Sony Group Corp has invested in Discord and aims to get the popular social app onto PlayStations early next year, potentially connecting more than 140 million gamers to its growing console ecosystem.

The new partnership could enhance the PlayStation’s appeal for a generation of users who use Discord to chat via video or text. Sony Interactive Entertainment will make an undisclosed minority investment in the US app’s Series H round, it said in a brief blog post. Its goal is to connect the Discord and PlayStation worlds on both console and mobile, letting gamers interact more easily during play.
