Official Discord app is now available through the Microsoft Store on Windows 11

The official Discord app for Windows is now discoverable in the new Microsoft Shop for Windows 11. The app appeared onetime last calendar week around September 22, but with Microsoft'south announcement effectually Epic Games coming to the shop and more, the app has at present been officially revealed.

Discord, one time almost acquired by Microsoft, is one of the about established social networks with 150 million monthly active users (MAUs) used by many gamers. Microsoft landing the app, which users a standalone installer (and then, no updates through the Microsoft Store itself), is a big win for Microsoft's new "open" strategy to lure developers and software back to Microsoft.

Microsoft seems to be resonating with those developers too. The company remarked in a weblog mail service how big names like Zoom, KakaoTalk, Luminar AI, Music Maker, VLC, TeamViewer, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and LibreOffice are all on the shop right now. Epic Games, Opera, and Yandex browsers, and Android apps (via Amazon) are all coming also, with likely many more on the way.

Of course, Microsoft is taking some shortcuts with the Store in letting companies use their own CDNs (Content Delivery Network) and fifty-fifty installers, eschewing Microsoft'southward tools and commerce systems. In that sense, the Store is sort of a placeholder for these apps only all the same gives users a trusted source for Windows software.

So far, people seem to like Discord on the Microsoft Store equally it has a four.8 rating (out of v) from 13 reviews. The biggest complaint seems to be people wanting the app to update through the store itself and not via the app. Discord could solve that past using Microsoft's own package installer, something we'll have to wait and see if they adopt.

To observe the new app, users must search for the Discord app in the Microsoft Shop as currently, there are no dedicated links for non-packaged apps.
