There is no separate PlayStation sign-in on RivalRyze. ## Before you start You need: 1. A Discord account connected to RivalRyze. See [Connecting Discord](/connecting-gaming-platforms/discord.md). 2. Your PlayStation account added to your Discord connections (step 1 below). ## Step 1: add PlayStation Network to Discord In Discord: 1. Open **User Settings → Connections**. 2. Add **PlayStation Network** and sign in with your PlayStation account. ## Step 2: connect on RivalRyze 1. Open **Settings** and pick the **Connections** tab. 2. Under **Link your accounts through Discord connections**, click **Connect** on the **PlayStation** row. 3. You see **PlayStation account connected successfully through Discord**, and your first sync starts. The PlayStation row stays greyed out until Discord is connected. ## Step 3: make your trophies public RivalRyze reads your trophies from PlayStation Network, so they must be visible to everyone. In your PlayStation privacy settings, set who can see your **Trophies** to **Anyone**. You can change it: * **On the web:** sign in at [account.sony.com](https://account.sony.com) and open the privacy settings. * **On PS5:** **Settings → Users and Accounts → Privacy**. * **On PS4:** **Settings → Account Management → Privacy Settings**. ### The Private profile badge If RivalRyze can't read your trophies, the PlayStation row in **Settings → Connections** shows a **Private profile** badge. Hover it for a reminder, or click it to open the guide on the RivalRyze blog. You also get a **PlayStation profile became private** notification when a linked profile turns private. After you change the setting, click **Refresh** on the PlayStation row (it only appears while your profile is private): * **Your PlayStation profile is now public. Syncing your games and trophies.** The sync starts right away. * **Your PlayStation profile is still private.** Check your trophy privacy and click **Refresh** again. ## What gets synced | Data | Notes | | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | Games | Every game with a trophy list on your account: PS5, PS4, PS3 and PS Vita | | Trophies | Bronze, silver, gold and platinum, with unlock dates | | Trophy level | Your PlayStation trophy level and progress, shown on your profile's PlayStation card | | Playtime | For PS5 and PS4 games, where PlayStation reports it | | Completion | Per game | On a game's page, trophy groups (the base game and each DLC pack) are listed separately. ### Regional trophy lists Some games ship separate trophy lists per region (for example NA, EU and JP versions of the same game on the same console). Each list is its own set of trophies, and your progress counts on the list you actually played. On a game's page, RivalRyze labels these lists by region (**NA**, **EU**, **JP**, **ASIA**, **KR**), or by the game's PlayStation serial when the region isn't known yet. ### First import The first sync imports every game on your trophy list. While it runs, the progress checklist shows how many of your PlayStation games are done. You get a **Your PlayStation stats are ready** notification when it finishes. ## How often PlayStation syncs PlayStation syncs on your subscription tier's schedule (every 4 hours on Free, every hour on Supporter, every 30 minutes on Legend). Subscribers can also refresh right away with the refresh icon (**Update profile**) on their profile. See [the sync schedule](/connecting-gaming-platforms/troubleshooting-sync.md#5-understand-the-sync-schedule). ## Contests with PlayStation Your trophies count in achievement-based Battles and Bounties. PlayStation is also the platform for the **Platinum Hunter Battle**, where the first player to unlock a game's platinum trophy wins. See [Objective Modes](/contests/objective-modes.md). ## Disconnecting PlayStation Click **Disconnect** on the PlayStation row in **Settings → Connections**. RivalRyze stops syncing the account; your Discord connection stays. * Disconnecting **Discord** also unlinks PlayStation. * Removing PlayStation Network from your Discord connections does **not** unlink it from RivalRyze. Use **Disconnect** on RivalRyze. ## Troubleshooting ### Connect fails Check that: * Discord is connected to RivalRyze, with the same Discord account that holds your PlayStation connection. * PlayStation Network is listed in Discord under **User Settings → Connections**. * The PlayStation account isn't already linked to another RivalRyze account. If it is, sign in to that account and disconnect it there, or [contact support](/help-and-faq/contact-support.md). ### "Your Discord connection has expired" Click **Reconnect** on the Discord row in **Settings → Connections**, authorize RivalRyze again, then click **Connect** on the PlayStation row. ### The row shows Private profile Set your **Trophies** privacy to **Anyone**, then click **Refresh** on the PlayStation row. ### A trophy I just earned isn't showing * Wait for the next scheduled sync, or use the refresh icon (**Update profile**) on your profile if you subscribe. * Check that the trophy shows on your PlayStation profile. If PlayStation hasn't recorded it yet, RivalRyze can't either. * If the game has several regional trophy lists, check that you're looking at the list you played. ## Related * [Connecting Discord](/connecting-gaming-platforms/discord.md) * [Troubleshooting Sync Issues](/connecting-gaming-platforms/troubleshooting-sync.md) * [Why Isn't My Game Showing Up?](/help-and-faq/game-not-showing.md)
