🚀 Why These Games Are Surging

Call of Duty

Call of Duty entered the chart as a brand-new listing at number one, with its official server at 213K members. Discord didn't show growth figures because it's a new entry.

Enshrouded

Enshrouded left early access and hit version 1.0 on 15 October, raising the level cap to 50 and adding a new biome, skills and spells. Its streams on Discord jumped almost 1,900%.

Scam With Your Friends

This co-op comedy entered Steam early access on 15 October. You and your friends run a fake call centre and try to talk AI callers out of their money, which makes it perfect for Discord calls and streams.

Deadlock

Valve's hero shooter is still invite-only, yet it set a new record of 303,347 concurrent players on 16 October, according to SteamDB-based tracking. Five new heroes in under three weeks kept people coming back.

Battlefield 6

Battlefield 6 keeps a huge community, with more than half a million members in its server and streams up 260% this week.

WARDOGS

The 100-player tactical shooter started Season 2 on 15 October, adding new weapons, a T-72B3 tank, a Gepard anti-air vehicle and rain weather.

over the hill

This relaxed four-player off-road driving game launched on 14 October after building up more than 1.2 million wishlists. Its plays on Discord rose by more than 37,000%, the biggest jump on the chart.

Arknights: Endfield

Hypergryph's free-to-play RPG arrived on Steam on 14 October, alongside its Sanctuary of Ink update on 15 October. It has the biggest server on the list.

ROBLOX and Warframe

Both are steady giants. ROBLOX shows up in about 5,000 servers, and Warframe's official server has 389K members.

🔍 What This Chart Tells Us

Three patterns stand out this week:

• Launch week matters. Six of the top 10 had a launch, season or major update between 14 and 16 October.
• Co-op wins on Discord. Scam With Your Friends and over the hill are small games built for playing with friends, and they had the biggest percentage jumps.
• Streams grow faster than plays. For almost every game, streaming grew more than playing, as people share new games with friends in voice channels.

If you run a gaming community, these are the games your members are likely talking about. Our guide to setting up a gaming Discord server covers how to give each game its own space.
