Although the Discord app is already integrated for PlayStation 5, there are workarounds to get Discord working easily on your PlayStation 4. These workarounds aren't as easy as opening the app on PS5, but with a little work, you can chat on Discord while playing games on your PS4 console. This wikiHow teaches you how to get Discord on your PS4 and PS5.

Connect Discord to PlayStation 4
