In early March 2024, Discord revealed that “sponsored quests”, or ads would be added to the platform to help “support game developers” through the popular chat app.

Discord didn’t initially share a release date, or even how they’re going to implement ads into Discord’s overall design, other than mentioning that the sponsored quests would “tastefully” be integrated.

A report from The Wall Street Journal claims that Discord’s sponsored quests will be landing on the platform this week, and will be displayed at the bottom left of the app.

    If friends decide they will use something else then I can avoid Discord. Till then, guess I’ll start using it on the web for the adblock.

      I’m pretty sure BetterDiscord or Vencord would very quickly add in a plugin to disable those ads.
