Microsoft in the running for the purchase of Discord, chat for video game enthusiasts. All the details

Want to shop at Microsoft. The tech giant is in talks to purchase Discord, a video game chat platform. The cost of the operation, it is rumored, should be 10 billion euros.

But Microsoft is just one of the suitors. All the details.

NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS

According to what Bloomberg reveals, Microsoft is in the running to buy Discord, a platform born in 2015 and dedicated to those who love video games. The strictly confidential negotiations are underway, according to sources close to the dossier and a possible contract is still far from being signed.

NOT ONLY MICROSOFT

In fact, there would be several companies in the running for the purchase, including Epic and Amazon . The company led by Natya Sadella is just one of them.

IPO DISCORD NEAR?

And it is not certain that, even if a colossus, it will be the winner. Discord, in fact, could choose, Bloomberg always writes, the path of listing. "Discord is more likely to go public than to be sold to a single company," writes The Daily.

THE BACKGROUND WITH MICROSOFT

Microsoft and Discord, however, have already collaborated in the past. For all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers, Satya Ndella's company promised 3 months of free subscription to Nitro, the premium subscription to Discord.

WHAT IS DISCORD

Discord, born in 2015 from an idea of Jason Citron (CEO of the company) and Stanislav Vishnevskiy, is a VoIP, instant messaging and digital distribution platform designed to create communities among video game enthusiasts (it was designed to be used while plays).

THE NUMBERS

The platform has over 250 million registered users on the platform and 100 million monthly active users.
