    Discord Authentication

    You can now use Discord as an authentication platform for player sessions, available in both Platform Login and Unified Player Accounts..

    This gives players a fast, familiar way to sign in with their Discord accounts and gives you powerful new tools to build more connected experiences.

    Here’s what you can do with Discord auth:

    • Let players sign in with Discord for seamless access
    • Link existing player accounts to Discord to take advantage of our cross-platform features
    • Make your games playable through Discord Activities
    • Build Discord bots that interact with your game via our APIs

    Bring your game to where your players already hang out: in Discord. With bot integration, you can create rich, community-driven experiences like:

    • Automating support by accessing player data through Discord IDs
    • Creating fun commands to view in-game stats
    • Letting players claim in-game rewards by interacting with your community
    • Syncing in-game groups with Discord roles or channels
    • Notifying players about in-game events or updates

    The possibilities are endless.

    You can enable Discord authentication in the Platform settings and Unified Player Accounts settings on our console.

    Improvements to code input on auth.game

    We've released a few updates to our code input page on the player facing auth.game site. Code input is often the first page players see when interacting with Unified Player Accounts, so making sure it works well is important.

    Improvements

    • We no longer clear the code if the user mistyped it: This allows users to correct their input without having to re-enter the entire code.
    • Better keyboard support: The backspace key now stays in the field you pressed it in, allowing you to correct mistakes without having to click back into the field.
    • Hold backspace to delete: You can now hold the backspace key to delete multiple characters at once, making the fields behave more intuitively.
    • Minimize excessive submits: We sometimes sent the code too often while the user was trying to correct an error in their input. This update reduces the number of submits to only when the user has finished entering their code.

    If you have any feedback on these changes, please let us know! We are always looking to improve the user experience for your players.

    Support for Tags on Player and Asset Files

    You can now add custom tags to files for both players and assets — right from the web console or via the Admin API. This makes it easier to organize your files and build more personalized game experiences.

    Here’s some inspiration for file tags:

    • Mark save files for beta testing
    • Tag items to appear only during special events
    • Group weapon skins for bulk updates
    • Add files to a holiday event with a single tag

    Whether you're managing seasonal content or segmenting players, tags give you more control and flexibility.

    You can add or update tags directly in the console, or use the Admin API:
