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
