Roblox has announced that it’s acquired Guilded, an online communications platform similar to Discord, with features tuned for organizing online game communities.
Unlike last week’s acquisition of Jim Greer’s Bash Video company, Roblox Corporation will not be sunsetting the Guilded platform.
However Discord has spent the last year moving away from being an exclusively video game-focused platform, leaving a market space for Guilded to fill.
Guilded’s platform is built on a similar server structure to Discord, where users can create dedicated groups within their servers, communicate in threads, and jump into voice chat rooms for group play sessions.
