Discord, the communications for games company, has launched the Discord Social SDK, a toolkit that enables developers of all sizes to tap into Discord’s social infrastructure to drive their game’s social and multiplayer experiences for all their players.

Developers can tap into this toolkit, with or without a Discord account, at no cost. Developers can not only harness the SDK to power in-game communication and connectivity for all players, but they can also
provide an even more integrated and engaging experience for their Discord-connected players while further benefiting from Discord’s social features to drive discovery and growth for their games.
