To address these challenges, Discord has been collaborating with game developers to enhance the platform.
Discord’s senior vice president of product, Peter Sellis, mentioned that the new tools aim to enhance user experience based on user feedback and themes like fantasy and cyberpunk.
Quests on Discord allow players to discover games and earn rewards. Sponsored Quests will now be available for more game developers, offering a way to engage players and showcase their games.
Quests as a gateway to discover games
Discord’s Shop, launched last year, provides avatar frames and profile effects for users. Themed items in collaboration with game developers will be introduced, sharing revenue from purchases with developers.
Developers interested in Quests can sign up, and themed Shop items will be unveiled soon. Discord aims to become an essential tool for the game development process.
