Discord is used by over 200 million people every month for many different reasons, but there’s one thing that nearly everyone does on our platform: play video games. Over 90% of our users play games, spending a combined 1.5 billion hours playing thousands of unique titles on Discord each month. Discord plays a uniquely important role in the future of gaming. We are focused on making it easier and more fun for people to talk and hang out before, during, and after playing games.

Building on Discord's gaming-centric platform, Quests offer an engaging way for advertisers to connect to our community with rewarded advertising. As we grow our advertising platform, our Ad Formats team is at the forefront of creating new formats, placements, and quest functionality to enable more ways that users can interact with our offering. The most successful formats are ones that surprise and delight our users, continuing the shift in consumer behavior to trust the ads we put in front of them.
