Discord is one of the leading apps that offers cross-platform support across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Even though it is the first choice for gamers to connect online, it does not have a PlayStation app yet. That is bound to change in the coming months as Sony announced its partnership with Discord last year. A native Discord app for PlayStation is currently in the works. For those who can’t wait to use Discord on their PlayStation, here is a quick guide on how to use Discord on your PlayStation 4 and PS5.

Here’s how you can use discord on Playstation 4 or PS5
Step 1: Launch PlayStation Party on your PS5 and select a friend to send a message.
Step 2: Type ‘www.discord.com’ and send it as a message to your friend. If you’re using a PS4 simply access www.discord.com from the web browser. Since PS5 does not have a native web browser you can access, you need to send the discord link as a message and then click on it on the chat. PS5 will then open the webpage on the browser.
Step 3: From the webpage select ‘Open Discord in your Browser’ and enter your login credentials.
Step 4: Once you’re logged in you will be able to read and send messages on Discord.
