As part of this effort, Discord has begun rolling out options to connect its PlayStation Network (PSN) account to Discord to increase its presence. This article described how to link your PlayStation account to Discord and display your PlayStation 4 (PS4) or PlayStation 5 (PS5) game activity in your Discord profile.

Well, the answer will disappoint you, but keep reading to find out everything about how Discord works with the PlayStation console.
Using Discord on PS4 and PS5 (2022)
I won’t draw a circle in this article, but instead, let me know immediately that there is no native Discord app for the PS4 and PS5 consoles. You can’t install Discord on the console yet. However, there are some tricky workarounds for reading Discord messages on the PlayStation console and for voice chat to work on PS4 and PS5. Therefore, use the table below to see how everything works.
Read discord messages on PS4 and PS5
PlayStation 4 and 5 do not have a native Discord client, but there is a workaround that allows you to access Discord in read-only mode on the console. When I tested this method, I couldn’t send a message or join a voice chat. However, if you’re looking for a way to see Discord messages on your PS4 and PS5, follow these steps:
1. Launch PlayStation Party and open a chat window with your friends.
2. In the chat box Type “www.discord.com” to send your message To friends of PS5. The PS4 has a built-in browser so you don’t have to send a message to your friends. You can open Discord Web directly in the browser of the PS4 console.
3. Select a link Wait for the PlayStation to open the link in the pop-up browser window..
4. You can then use your credentials to sign in to your Discord account. Click “Open Discord in Browser” Open the chat app on your PlayStation.
5. And that’s it! You can now read Discord messages directly on your PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. This method isn’t as convenient as a native client, but it can help you quickly see messages from your Discord game buddies.
Workaround to get discord between PS4 and PS5
I ran into two workarounds while looking for a way to get Discord audio channel audio on game audio from PS4 / PS5. If you’re sticking to using Discord on your PlayStation console and you can make it any length, these two methods are useful. These methods are tedious and very tedious, so I won’t go into too much detail. Instead, we recommend waiting for the native Discord app to start deploying on PS4 and PS5. This should happen soon in the next 4-5 months.
As a workaround, I’ll briefly explain how to force Discord to talk to your friends on the Playstation console.
1. One of the most common ways to use Discord while listening to game audio on your PS4 / PS5, especially to join the audio channel, is to buy the Astro MixAmp Pro TR ($ 129.99 on Amazon). You’ll also need a pair of compatible headphones that can be connected via USB along with a PC with Discord installed.
Once you have all this, you need to create a cross-platform connection between your PS5 and your PC. This way, you can talk to your friends while playing your favorite games on the PlayStation console. Check out this YouTube video for detailed instructions.
2. Other workarounds are less expensive, but still annoying. Here you need to use PS Remote Play to access the game on your Android or iOS smartphone. Create a secondary PS account, set it as the default, and use this account to log in to the PS Remote Play app, as described in the creator Octorious video. Then connect your headset to your phone, join the Discord audio channel, and connect to your PS4 / PS5 using the Remote Play app.
You should now be able to hear both Discord and console audio on your phone, but there may be some delay. To reduce latency, the author suggests freeing up bandwidth with the lowest possible stream quality. Then you can pick up your PS controller and jump to action while talking to your friends on Discord.
If you don’t want to do all this tedious work, it’s a good idea to line up with a friend who owns a PlayStation console. Then you can create a party on your PS5 and play with your friends. Use the linked guides to learn how it works.
