All the games are “in product,” developed by Discord and some third-party studios and offered to players as first-party experiences. The games are designed to run on the Discord platform only, but I didn’t get clarity on whether they’re downloadable or browser-based games. Once launched, they can invite their friends who don’t have Discord Nitro to join their expanded selection of Activities. Discord vice president Anjney Midha.ĭiscord Nitro subscribers can launch even more activities including Poker Night, Sketch Heads, Chess, Land-io, Letter League and more. Starting this week, everyone will have access to begin two activities: Putt Party and Watch Together. Look for the new Rocket Ship ?button in the Voice Channel to access new ways to spend time with your friends and communities. But we’ve also got other types of shared experiences like Watch Together.” But we’ve got a bunch more coming in the works. If I click that, it basically brings up the shelf of all the activities that I have access to. “If I go back into the voice channel and the main icon, a main panel, you can see I have more controls here and the rocket icon is here. Today, Discord is starting the rollout of Activities - a way for users to hang out online in more interactive ways, such as playing games or watching videos together directly within Discord.Īctivities is “a new feature that merges fun group experiences into voice channels and allows users to play games or watch videos together right on Discord with a single click,” said Midha. So The company built a few simple, easy-to-join Activities that enabled people to connect, laugh, and bond together on Discord. While 85% of the users surveyed last year said they played games with friends over Discord on a regular basis, their primary purpose for playing was actually to bond with friends. Shared experiences are at the heart of Discord. Hanging out via Activities Discord has activities. Billions of app commands have been used on Discord so far this year, which have doubled compared to this time last year. Over 30% of active servers rely on apps for customizations, playing fun games, and keeping conversations safe. Meanwhile, a vibrant ecosystem of apps has emerged. Millions of people are using Nitro subscriptions to take advantage of premium features on Discord.
It has widened to become a place to hang out with your people, a space to share experiences with your community, and more recently, an opportunity for creators and developers to build sustainable businesses. Now the company is adding more features for different audiences. Along the way, the company added other use cases to the platform and added flexibility for the kinds of things people can do with Discord. Discord debuted in 2015 as a way for people to communicate with each other and hang out online - before, during, and after playing video games.
