The Discord SDK makes social features like direct messaging, lobbies, and session invites easy. Provisional accounts help us deliver this value to all of our players.

Staff Software Engineer, Theorycraft Games

The Discord Social SDK has added a dimension to communication in Rust. Players often rely on communication and we’re seeing a growing number of friends teaming up and getting together to play as squads, where being able to easily switch between the messaging aspects of both Steam and Discord, without having to compromise their in-game safety as much. It also integrates seamlessly into the game’s main menu, which means it doesn’t impact our players or our in-game selling ability.
