Discord has emerged as a pivotal platform for gaming communities, accommodating around 200 million monthly users. With significant user engagement in gaming, the platform has reportedly initiated discussions regarding a potential IPO. The founders' past experience in gaming and their transition from failed projects to creating Discord has shaped its current success as a communication tool. The service has outperformed traditional social media and outdated communication tools, becoming deeply integrated with modern gaming consoles. The future remains uncertain as it navigates the shift towards potential public ownership.
Online games were exploding at the time and the tools for communicating in them were pretty bad. Discord filled the void when it came to coordinating raids in Final Fantasy XIV or ganks in Dota 2.
Our focus remains on delivering the best possible experience for our users and building a strong, sustainable business.
It's one of the least shitty social media platforms out there right now, but it might not stay that way for long.
Discord is now fully-integrated on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, and serves as a better solution to Nintendo Switch's terrible voice chat app.
