Discord is evidently more popular and successful than ever: the company behind the video game chat app managed to raise an impressive $50 million in April but outdid that amount with an additional $150 million in funding this week, boosting its valuation to over $2 billion. The Discord Store, which will take on Steam with a revenue split of 90/10 for developers, is expected to make the service even more prominent.
The company’s bread-and-butter remains its chat service, which brings voice and text communications to gamers looking to talk with teammates and fellow enthusiasts during and outside of gameplay. Discord isn’t the only service that offers this capability, but it is definitely one of the most popular with hundreds of millions of users coming to the app every month.
