The app appeared sometime last week around September 22, but with Microsoft's announcement around Epic Games coming to the store and more, the app has now been officially revealed. Discord, once almost acquired by Microsoft, is one of the most established social networks with million monthly active users MAUs used by many gamers.
Microsoft landing the app, which users a standalone installer so, 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. Epic Games, Opera, and Yandex browsers, and Android apps via Amazon are all coming too, 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 even installers, eschewing Microsoft's tools and commerce systems.
In that sense, the Store is sort of a placeholder for these apps but still gives users a trusted source for Windows software. So far, people seem to like Discord on the Microsoft Store as it has a 4. 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 by using Microsoft's own package installer, something we'll have to wait and see if they adopt. To find the new app, users must search for the Discord app in the Microsoft Store as currently, there are no dedicated links for non-packaged apps.
