Discord has hit 25 million registered users for its popular voice-communications app for games. The company is also announcing its GameBridge software development kit (SDK) so that gamemakers can integrate Discord directly into their mobile and PC games.

Discord’s user numbers have more than doubled in five months, said Jason Citron, the CEO of Discord, in an interview with GamesBeat. It has crossed 2.3 million weekly peak concurrent users, and those users now send more than 100 million messages in a day. That’s pretty good traction, and Discord is in a race to become the voice chat app of choice for gamers who play multiplayer games.
