Discord has now detailed the first wave of games which will debut for PC via its own store - each with an exclusivity period "typically" lasting 90 days.

The range, dubbed First on Discord, will roll-out this autumn with seven titles. Perhaps most notable in line-up is viking roguelike Bad North, already available on Switch:

Here's the full list:

Last Year: The Nightmare (Elastic Games)
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption (Another Indie)
Minion Masters (BetaDwarf)
Bad North (Raw Fury)
At Sundown (Versus Evil/Mild Beast)
Mad Machines (Hero Blocks)
King of the Hat (Hyroglyphik Games)

The Discord Store began life last month in a move many saw as an attempt take on Steam - although it was available initially in beta form just in Canada.

Not that there aren't similarities with Steam too - which launched its set of rather Discord-like friends and chat features back in June.
