đGamesBeat's exclusive interview with Discord's CEO offers a fascinating look into how Discord, with over 200 million monthly active users, continues to evolve as the central hub for gaming communities. An impressive 90% of users engage in games, contributing 1.5 billion hours of gameplay each month!
Despite this massive reach, Discord sees significant growth opportunities, particularly through cross-platform play. With 50-80% of new game launches already involving Discord users, the platform is rolling out exciting new updates aimed at friend discovery, cross-platform play, and expanding features across mobile, desktop, and consoles.
Notably, 80% of players use voice chat while gaming, with 31% streaming their gamesâcontributing over 12.5 million hours of streamed content and 15.8 million hours of viewed streams every month.
Discordâs investment in features like Quests and PlayStation/Xbox integrations has already led to a 16% increase in playtime and a 9% rise in player countâand the platform shows no signs of slowing down.
With X (formerly Twitter) firmly established as the top communication platform for the crypto industry, the question now turns to who will dominate Web3 gaming? Could it be Discord, with its robust community features and voice chat capabilities? Or perhaps a new, blockchain-native contender will emerge to redefine the space? Only time will tell who will take home the accolade in this new frontier of gaming.
