Microsoft is in talks to buy the Discord messaging platform for more than $ 10 billion, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Discordia has contacted potential buyers, and Microsoft is one of them, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter, while one said it was more likely to go public than sell itself.
Earlier in the day, VentureBeat reported that Discord was exploring a sale and was in final talks with a party.
Both Microsoft and Discord did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
The Covid-19 pandemic stimulated the prospects of gaming companies as people stayed home and resorted to video games for entertainment during the blockade.
Earlier this month, US gaming company Roblox made a strong debut in the market after it went public through a direct list, rather than through a traditional initial public offering.
