How To Connect To Discord On PlayStation 5

The PlayStation 5 have received full Discord integration in a brand-new system software update, allowing players to connect to their Discord servers and use voice chat on their consoles. Discord integration on Sony’s flagship console has reportedly been in the works for some time. However, despite its inclusion in this software update, the process of linking PlayStation Network and Discord accounts is still a bit technical. On top of that, players might get stuck trying to get Discord working thanks to a few quirks in Discord’s integration with the PlayStation Network.

Xbox players have enjoyed Discord integration since last year, and the setup process on PlayStation 5 is similar in many ways. Players must link their Discord accounts to PlayStation Network before transferring their voice chats to consoles. To get Discord up and running, players must ensure that their PlayStation 5 consoles have downloaded and installed the latest system update. They’ll also need to be logged in to Discord on a PC or a mobile device.
