In a recent blog post, the Discord team announced a revision of their objectives, choosing to concentrate on gaming communities.
Discord boasts 200 million monthly users, with over 90% being active gamers who log a combined total of 1.5 billion gaming hours each month.
The service team has shifted its focus, moving away from broadening Discord’s appeal to a general audience. The company will now prioritize gaming communities, which are the core of its user base.
Discord’s developers plan to collaborate with game developers to integrate the service’s features where it makes sense and to incorporate interactive entertainment directly into the app.
A redesigned Discord mobile app was unveiled, reflecting these new priorities.
In early 2024, Discord experienced layoffs, letting go of approximately 170 employees as the company, nearing a decade of operation without profit, sought to reduce its workforce.
