The Discord Store takes on Steam, and it’s available now

October 16, 2018 The Discord Games Store beta is now live for everyone.

In 2018, you have a lot of choices about where to buy your digital PC games, and now Discord has launched one more. The Discord Store has gone from private beta to public, which means you can buy games straight out of the voice chat app - or get a subscription to a library of existing titles. Next time you load up Discord, you'll find a new Store tab that works pretty much as you'd expect - you can browse games and buy them.  The selection is pretty limited to start, though it's buoyed by a handful of timed-exclusive 'First on Discord' titles, including Bad North and Minion Masters. You can now also sign up for a slightly more expensive variation of Discord’s Nitro subscription for $9.99 monthly or $99.99 annually. In addition to the usual Nitro chat perks, this gets you access to a "growing library" of games, currently including titles like Soma, Torchlight 2, Inside, and Shadow Tactics. Excellent games, though you'll likely already own more than a few of them.
