Meanwhile Sony can't even make a Playstation App for PC/Mac or make a half decent remote play application for PS4.

---------------

PC and console gamers, unite! Today we are excited to announce a new collaboration between Xbox and Discord.

Connecting with friends is such a big part of why people game. Gamers all over the world use and love Discord to easily chat and connect with friends while they game. In the coming weeks, this collaboration will make it easier for gamers to choose to do just that – make it easier to connect and see what friends are playing across console and PC. It’s part of the work we are doing to provide gamers with more choice, allowing them to play how and where they want to.


In response to your feedback, you will now have the option to link your Discord account to your Xbox account, making it easier than ever to see what your friends are playing. If you are playing Sea of Thieves on your Xbox, you can now choose to give your Discord friends the ability to see that and decide whether they want to hop on their Xbox and join you.

Sony is more focused on making masterpiece games, as you can see with the latest release, God of War.

Nah, they're enlightened like Nintendo and allow you to use your phone for in-game chatting.

Should be kinda neat, although the only online game I really play on my Xbone is Sea of Thieves so not really sure how much use it'll get from me. I almost exclusively use discord when I'm on PC playing ESO or Overwatch.

Shows how ashamed they are of themselves if they need the feature.

How many Xs did you have in your GT? 8? 15? Did you use "killer" or "master"?

Ummm excuse me but, I'm still waiting for Sony to let me change my username but XBL takes full credit here for changing usernames, even for a fee, it's better then to NOT having an option to change the damn name.

Great news for Xbox gamers around the world I guess. I couldn't get into Discord but I kinda use it for my own needs.

User name change will finally be announced this summer... But yeah, this is my biggest gripe on PS. So that's saying something.

I can't excuse Sony for not doing it, but we might as well ask Nintendo and Steam for this feature, not just Sony.

Cool now PC and Xbox players can join together to talk about their common lack of high profile AAA exclusive games.

I don't see a problem with this.

Enjoy your top-down, Isometric, table top board game experiences on PC, now you can tell all your xbox friends how amazing those games are.

That's a pain in the ass for most people. Who wants to wear 2 different headsets or have 2 different audio streams coming at them?

This will actually help for me, since my computer or router doesn't like the Xbox app party chat; I fixed it once, but then after restarting it became a problem again. That whole NAT thing is garbage.

Discord works great, so being able to use that exclusively with friends that have only Xbox will be nice.

I do agree some games would be good, though. :P

lol apparently M$ can't!

But it's clear MS fanboys have much higher standards for Sony and PS4 than the system they actually game on and the company who runs it.

You kid about that but when the PS3 was announced they blatantly suggested something similar in nature

"for consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."
