Curse launched its unified communications platform in late April as an all-in-one tool for gamers and streamers. The platform has gathered millions of users a month, and it has been growing more since a big update.

The Curse Voice platform launched a couple of years ago after raising $16 million, but the company now just calls it Curse. The client has added features that meet the needs of online gamers, streamers, and pro esports teams — the domain where 100 million people watch 800 million hours of competitive gaming (a $463 million industry this year) on Twitch and . The Curse Client is a manager for mods, and it is being merged into the Curse app. The app is available for free on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and web, with no subscription fees or disruptive ads.
