Discord for Game Developers

Tools, integrations, and platform capabilities for game developers to tap into the power of Discord.

BUILD ON THE SOCIAL LAYER OF GAMES

Players already spend time together on Discord before, during, and after they play. Discord is where the social layer of games lives today and our developer platform lets you tap into that time to drive more players, more playtime, and more revenue for your game.

How Games Use Discord to Drive Growth

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

That connection can keep games present in conversations on Discord, where players decide what to play next.

Turn social activity into outcomes

With your game connected to Discord, you can drive longer playtime, reach new players, and unlock new 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.
