Discord is launching a way for developers to directly integrate the platform’s social features into their games. The new Social SDK, announced today, will let developers that use it offer “friends lists, cross-platform messaging, voice and more for all players — with or without a Discord account,” according to a press release.
You’ll also be able to send invites to your friends while you’re in a game. As the company says, you don’t have to have a Discord account to use the in-game Discord features, but “account linking is available for those who wish to connect their in-game experience to their Discord account for an even more engaging experience.” Currently, the SDK is “compatible with C++, both Unreal Engine and Unity, and supports Windows 11+ and macOS,” according to Discord. Console and mobile support is “coming soon.” Developers including Theorycraft Games, Facepunch Studios, 1047 Games, Scopely, Mainframe Industries, Elodie Games, and Tencent Games are already using it, Discord says.
