We’re excited to share that we’re making it easier for League of Legends & VALORANT players to connect with friends with Discord account linking! We’ve partnered with Riot Games to integrate social features directly into League of Legends and VALORANT. Players can invite Discord friends straight to their party (no alt-tabbing needed), copy a party link and share it directly in their favorite server, and easily see which of their Discord friends play Riot’s games. These features are available for League today in select regions, and will be coming to VALORANT later this summer. Check out more about Riot’s integration here: https://lnkd.in/g-auu9j2 If you’re interested in how you can add Discord-powered social features to your game, learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gxgNdXDf

We partnered with NetEase Games to launch a Play Quest that rewarded players for playing their new PC open-world RPG game, "Where Winds Meet." The campaign turned Discord into the top channel for new PC installs during launch week, at $0.46 per install. The concept was simple: reward players with Discord Orbs just for playing. By targeting PC RPG players who were already excited about the game, we drove real gameplay, not just eyeballs. The results were strong enough that the team scaled ad spend 11x across 7+ ad campaign flights. Check out the case study to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eqnyvjrW

Earlier this week, Rust became the second major game to launch a native shop directly inside Discord — and we couldn't be more excited to partner with Facepunch Studios to make it happen. Discord Social Commerce lets developers sell in-game items where players already spend their time — inside their communities, voice chats, and DMs. Rust players can now browse, buy, and gift official items without ever leaving Discord, with purchases syncing instantly. More to come! 🎮 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gKxVhJau

We believe teens deserve a voice in shaping the platforms they use. That's why we're proud to announce the launch of our first-ever Discord Teen Council. We're looking for teens ages 13–17 who reside in the US to help us better understand the teen online experience and help shape how we build for safety, wellbeing, and community. Young people aren't just users, they're stakeholders. And the decisions we make about their online lives should be made with them, not just for them. Our application deadline is May 15, 2026. If you work in youth advocacy, education, teen safety and wellbeing, or simply know a teen who'd bring something valuable to this conversation, please encourage them to apply. Learn more and apply here: https://lnkd.in/gFnTUCmX #DiscordTeenCouncil #YouthVoices #TeenSafety #DigitalWellbeing #TechForGood #OnlineSafety

Happy GDC week! 🚀 Today we’re sharing updates that help games grow while making Discord an even better place for players to connect around the games they love. Discord sits at a unique intersection of connection and play. When developers build on this foundation, great things happen – players get better ways to find, play, and share games with friends. We’re excited about what this opens up for developers. And, if you’re at GDC this week, come see us at Booth #1449. Check out more about our news on our blog below 👇 https://lnkd.in/dDYkXyd5
