Discord native Meta Quest app reported for 2026 — summary and context

At Meta Connect 2025, news circulated that Discord would release a native app for the Meta Quest headset “sometime in 2026.” A native Discord app in VR would make in-headset voice, chat and social features far more seamless for gamers and could help VR developers reach Discord’s large audience (200M+ monthly active users).

Why it matters

• Native apps improve ease of use vs. sideloaded or browser-based alternatives.
• Better in-VR voice/chat enhances multiplayer and social VR experiences.
• Discord’s large userbase could help VR apps find new players.

Verification & current status

Some news outlets reported the upcoming app, but neither Meta nor Discord have published an official, detailed announcement or timeline on their channels as of this post. If you want the official Meta source, see Meta Connect. For Discord information, check Discord.

What we’ll watch for

Look for official posts from Meta or Discord announcing the app, platform requirements, release timing, and whether it will arrive via the Quest Store or as a developer/partner release. We’ll update this post when either company provides confirmation.
