Discord’s digital game store, which first launched to just 50,000 users in Canada back in August, is now available globally in a public beta capacity, the chat company announced today. The marketplace, simply called Discord Store, is launching with 22 titles, including Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight and other indie gems like Dead Cells and Into The Breach. Five of those 21 titles are labeled “First on Discord” titles, meaning Discord is the primary distribution for those titles at launch.

Discord, a PC gaming-centric application that combines voice and text chat with a robust platform for third-party integrations, has been one of the fastest-growing gaming-centric companies of the last decade. It launched just three years ago, and it now counts 150 million registered users, many of whom use the app for chat and as a way to see what their friends are playing at any given moment.
