How to Use Discord on PlayStation 5

Discord is a popular platform for voice and text chat among gamers. Sony has integrated Discord with the PS5, but there is no native app available on the console yet. You can still use Discord on your phone or tablet to chat on the PS5. Here’s how you can set it up and start chatting with friends.

Linking Your Discord Account to PlayStation

First, you need to link your Discord account with your PlayStation. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings > Users and Accounts > Linked Services on your PS5.
2. Select Discord from the list.
3. Follow the link or scan the QR code that appears to open your Discord mobile app.
4. Enter the code from your PS5 in the app to authorize the login.

This will connect your Discord account to your PS5, enabling voice chat functionality.

Using Discord Chat on PS5

Once your accounts are linked, you can join Discord voice chats on your PS5 through your mobile or desktop device. Here’s how:

Using Mobile

1. Open Discord on your phone and join a voice channel.
2. Swipe up and tap the “Connect to PlayStation” button.
3. Select your PlayStation from the list and tap "Connect on PlayStation.”

Using Desktop

1. Open Discord on your computer and join a voice channel.
2. Click on the channel to see the voice chat options.
3. Click the icon with a screen and controller at the bottom.

After completing these steps, your voice chat will transfer to your PS5.

Chatting from Your PlayStation 5

Now that your voice chat is transferred to your PS5, you can manage it directly from the console:

1. Press the PlayStation button on your controller to open the console menu.
2. Find the voice chat card with your transferred Discord voice chat.
3. Select the card to see all your friends in the voice channel and manage audio settings.
