What is Game Claiming?
Claiming your game connects your Discord community server and game profile to your verified developer identity. Players get a verified place to find the official game community, and you get direct control over how your game is represented on the Discord app.Benefits of Claiming Your Game
Game Profile Customization
Discord automatically generates a game profile for every game it detects. Once you claim your game, you control the information and visual appearance of that profile across four sections:- Title: description, genres, platforms
- Visual Assets: cover, icon, banner, screenshots
- Links: official website, social media
- Company: name, publisher or developer role
Verified Checkmark
Once your claim is confirmed, your Discord server receives a green verified badge on its server profile, marking it as the verified community for your game on Discord. The checkmark is visible in Server Discovery and is only available to servers associated with a claimed game. Learn more about verified servers.Before You Begin
