This page describes which Discord Social SDK versions receive updates, our release cadence, and how end-of-life is handled. For platform support details, see Platform Compatibility.
These changes take effect with the 1.10 release of the Discord Social SDK, shipping in July 2026. Starting with 1.10:
- The supported version window will cover versions 1.6 through 1.10. Versions 1.5 and earlier will be end-of-life.
- New Xbox and PlayStation OS SDK support will ship in new Social SDK releases only — not as patches to older Social SDK versions. Each Social SDK release bundles roughly the last 18 months of console OS SDK versions.
Release Schedule
We ship three minor releases of the Discord Social SDK each year, in April, July, and November. This cadence aligns with the release windows for console OS SDKs so that each Discord Social SDK release can pick up the most recent supported console SDK versions. Between minor releases, we publish patch releases as needed (see What’s Covered below).Supported Version Window
We provide hotfix patches — bug fixes and security fixes — for the five most recent minor versions of the Discord Social SDK. Older versions are End-of-Life (EOL) and will not receive further updates. To receive a patch fix on an EOL version, upgrade to a supported release first. For how console OS SDK updates work, see Console OS SDK Support below.Supported Versions
Once the 1.10 release ships in July 2026, the supported version window will be:| Version | Status |
|---|---|
| 1.10 | Supported — current |
| 1.9 | Supported |
| 1.8 | Supported |
| 1.7 | Supported |
| 1.6 | Supported |
| 1.5 and earlier | End-of-Life |
Console OS SDK Support
New Xbox and PlayStation OS SDK support ships in new minor Social SDK releases only (the three minor releases per year). They are not backported to older Social SDK versions as patches. Each Social SDK release bundles roughly the last 18 months of console OS SDK versions — from whatever Xbox GDK or PlayStation OS was current ~18 months before the release, up through the latest available at release time. Console OS SDK versions older than that window are dropped at each new Social SDK release. In practice, this means:- If you need the latest Xbox or PlayStation platform SDK, upgrade to the latest Social SDK release.
- Already-shipped Social SDK releases continue to support the console OS SDK versions they were originally built with — we don’t add or remove support for console OS SDKs from already-shipped versions.
End-of-Life Process
When a new minor version of the Social SDK is released, the oldest version in the support window rolls off and reaches End-of-Life:- It is removed from the supported version table above
- No new hotfix patch builds are produced for that version
- Developers on that version should upgrade to the latest supported version
What’s Covered
Within the supported Social SDK version window, hotfix patches for a minor version may include:- Bug-fix and stability hotfix patches
- Security hotfix patches
What’s Not Covered
The following are not provided for older minor versions of the Social SDK:- New feature development
- Backports of features introduced in a newer minor version
- Backports of support for newer console OS SDK versions
