Discord for Game Developers
Discord for Game Developers
Tools, integrations, and platform capabilities for game developers to tap into the power of Discord.
Reach into one of the world’s largest and most engaged gaming audiences
Discord already has the attention. The platform lets games show up where decisions, recommendations, and purchases happen.
How Games Use Discord to Drive Growth
Players gather before the session, during the session, and after the session. The platform lets games extend that social layer into measurable outcomes.
Connect your game to Discord
Social Layer integration links in-game accounts with Discord accounts so players stay connected beyond the session.
Stay top of mind beyond gameplay
Keep your game present in the conversations where players decide what to play next.
Turn social activity into outcomes
Drive longer playtime, new player discovery, and incremental revenue opportunities.
Valuable individually. Incredibly powerful together.
Strong communities are incredibly valuable, but servers are not the whole story. Take advantage of Discord's entire platform to win more players, more playtime, and more revenue.
