The new Samsung smartphone will have Discord installed by default

As reported on the Samsung Unpacked panel, Discord will be integrated directly into the Game Launcher service on the smartphone. The application will be able to communicate directly during the game, reports The Verge. Only it is unclear whether the chat will overlap the windows of other applications, including games.

Why it’s important: Discord is a popular platform not only for communication between gamers, but also for the promotion of games. Many developers use it to communicate with the community. At the end of last year, Discord’s audience reached 200 million users.

Recall that text and voice communication in Discord takes place on special servers (channels), many of which were created by various game studios.
