Discord launches verified servers for Minecraft, Squad, and more

Discord hosts dozens of Minecraft-related communities on its service, but it wants to give you an easy way to tell if you’re joining the Minecraft community. To help developers better reach out to their audiences, Discord is rolling out verified servers today. This will put a Twitter-like check mark on more than 100 official developer communities that are working with Discord.

Verified servers are critical to creators and players because more studios and publishers are using Discord to reach out directly to their fans, and strong communities are crucial to success in the nearly $100 billion global games industry. Gamers know that Discord can serve as a direct line of communication to their favorite creators, and the verified check mark can help them avoid the frustration of joining the wrong group. Discord understands that problem, and it is helping developers avoid it.
