The app’s arrival follows an announcement at last year’s Meta Connect conference.
Discord is available on Meta Quest as a native application. The wait was a bit long for people wanting to use the social network on their VR headsets; Meta shared last year that a dedicated app was on the way from Discord. As often happens, ingenious and/or savvy players have meanwhile found workarounds to access the platform on their VR headsets. But the native app seems like a notable improvement in experience over sideloading or other DIY solutions.
The Meta Quest app for Discord offers all the usual signing features, with access to the same servers, DMs, and calls as the other versions. It offers enhanced features, like automatically leveraging the VR headset’s built-in mic for calls and allowing the Discord interface to stay pinned to the game space during gameplay. The app will support streaming the game directly to Discord from Meta Quest, and you’ll be able to join Discord calls with your Meta avatar, if you’re interested.
