PlayStation 4 / PS5 exception: If you’re targeting PlayStation 4, or PlayStation 5 with a PS5 SDK older than 13.000, the Discord Social SDK still supports C++17. All other platforms require C++20.

Platforms

The Discord Social SDK is available for the following platforms:
* There are too many Linux distributions to test, but most distros with glibc 2.31, e.g. Ubuntu 20.04, or later should work.
Building for iOS or Android? See Feature Availability on Mobile for mobile-specific setup requirements and behavior differences.
Each Social SDK release supports roughly the last 18 months of Xbox and PlayStation OS SDK versions. See Console OS SDK Support for how the window rolls forward at each release.
