<Info>
  \* There are too many Linux distributions to test, but most distros with glibc 2.31, e.g. Ubuntu 20.04,
  or later should work.
</Info>

<Info>
  Each Social SDK release supports roughly the last 18 months of Xbox and PlayStation OS SDK versions.
  See [Console OS SDK Support](/developers/discord-social-sdk/core-concepts/release-cadence-and-support#console-os-sdk-support) for how the window rolls forward at each release.
</Info>

<Info>
  To use the Discord Social SDK in your console games, you will need to request middleware approval and be an approved developer for the target console. Check out [this article](https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/30209074764183) to learn more.
