If you are figuring out how to get Discord and use it on PS4, we have you covered right here. In this guide, we have provided a step-by-step walkthrough of how you can use Discord on your console without using PC or other third-party apps.

Discord, as an app, is available on PS5 – so connecting Discord to that console is quite easy. However, PS4 does not have a native Discord app. Officially, you can link your PS4 to Discord – but voice is not supported, so you will only be able to share status. Now, you can still use Discord on PS4 with a simple workaround – we will get to that in a minute.

That being said, even though you cannot directly use Discord voice chat over PlayStation 4, you will still be able to share your status. All you have to do is connect your Discord account with PS Network. And for voice, we will be logging in through Discord website on the console.
