Discord Expands Game Integration with New Developer Tools

Discord is set to launch its Embedded App SDK on March 18, enabling developers to create and embed games directly within the chat platform.

The Embedded App SDK will allow developers to build games and apps that can be played directly in Discord, enhancing the platform's Activities feature.
Developers will have the opportunity to pitch their game ideas for a chance to win up to $30,000 in development funding, with user voting determining the winners.
The SDK supports cross-platform play, enabling games to be accessible on desktop, mobile, and web versions of Discord.
Discord aims to become a central hub for developers to build, share, distribute, and monetize their games and apps.
The platform is also experimenting with allowing users to add apps to their accounts, making them accessible across different servers and chats.
