In addition to new hardware announcements, Meta had software news to share during its Meta Connect 2025 conference today. The company revealed that Discord will be making a native app for the Meta Quest headset. According to Meta, the native window app will be available some time in 2026.
The development makes sense. VR is a platform with a lot of gaming presence, so having Discord for easy social and voice connections while playing is a win for players and a natural match for the two businesses. Having a native app can make a big difference in the ease of use. I’m primarily a member of the PlayStation nation, and I swear I heard an angelic choir singing when the PS5 finally got call support.
Meta positioned the upcoming availability of the native app as a boon for the developers of VR experiences to reach new audiences, thanks to Discord’s more than 200 million monthly active players. We’ve reached out to Discord for additional comment and will update with any more details we receive.
