Your Discord Checkpoint is Rolling Out! Celebrate What You Did in 2025

You’ve played dozens of games. Sent hundreds of messages. Posted thousands of emojis. And enjoyed countless meaningful moments, making for a packed year of hangin’ out. You didn't just use Discord this year… you shaped it. MOLDED IT, like a big ball of pizza dough. 

And for 2025, we’re taking your pizza dough, topping it with the stuff you did on Discord this year — your late-night dungeon crawls, your victory celebrations, and conversations that turned into lasting friendships — baking it, and serving you up a delicious end-of-year recap: your Discord Checkpoint!  

Rolling out over the next few days, Discord Checkpoint is the first time we’re giving you a recap of the stuff YOU did on Discord throughout the year.

The in-app Checkpoint experience.

How many messages did you send? How long did you hang out in voice? What’re your most-used emoji, and which server did you spend the most time in? And WHO, out of everyone you talked to on Discord, did you talk with the MOST?

To find your Checkpoint, make sure you’re on the latest version of the Discord app. Then, on desktop, look for the flag icon in the top-right corner of your app. On mobile, head to the You tab at the bottom-right, and tap the Checkpoint banner.

If you don’t see a Checkpoint, you may not have had enough activity on Discord to summarize your 2025. Or, you have toggled off “Use data to personalize my Discord experience.”

After you’ve reviewed your year on Discord, you’ll be matched with one of ten different Checkpoint cards.

An example of one of the Checkpoint cards you could receive after reviewing your Checkpoint.

These Checkpoint cards aren’t JUST for your eyes only… your card comes with a matching Avatar Decoration! Put it on and find your fellow Capybaras in chat. You’ll be able to wear it on your own avatar until January 15, 2026.

At the end, you’ll be shown an option to easily share a quick summary of your Checkpoint results directly in chat! But if you decide not to share, it’s all good; your Checkpoint will remain private to just yourself.

So gather around the bonfire, review your Discord Checkpoint, and bask in your curated summary of what you’ve accomplished on the platform in the last year! Don’t worry, all those nearby obstacles don’t reset after using this Checkpoint.

What Sorts of Shenanigans Did @Everyone Get Into on Discord?

Discord is a platform with over 200 million monthly active users globally, playing and talking all year ‘round, with each person having their own unique groups of friends, chat history, sets of blursed emojis, and inside jokes that live on in their hearts for eons to come. 

If we smooshed @everyone’s servers, DMs, and conversations into one GIANT chat, we’d get some BIG numbers for 2025. Take a gander at all the messages and reactions you’ve sent and posted this year alone

Number of messages and reactions on Discord in 2025

It’s like reading this sentence 744 BILLION times. Or 744 billion individual words to form sentences from the friend who always sends. messages. like. this. pinging. you. each. time. ba-doop. ba-doop.

All these conversations have one thing in common: emojis. Sometimes even custom emoji! We brought a friend to meticulously count all the emojis used on the platform this year (aka Nelly, who has been counting one-by-one with her fingers for months), and we’ve figured out that the most-used emoji on Discord in 2025 is… 

…the ❤️red heart! Omg how sweet. Y’all must really love your friends. 

The top emojis of 2025.

Discord’s top five emoji in 2025 also include sob 😭 and joy 😂, which are probably being paired together in posts or used multiple times in a row like 😭😭😭😂😂.  

The fire 🔥 is in the top five most-used emojis for the first time this year; it wasn’t part of Discord’s top five between 2021 and 2024. It’s likely either been used for great things like “🔥🔥🔥that clutch Ace was SICK” or not-so-great things “yo this straight-up sucks. 🔥🔥🔥”

Rounding things out is the not-so-round green tick box ✅, likely being used when larger communities post their server’s rules, or by your friend who’s been really on top of their game this year and posting “done ✅” as they slowly wade through their backlog. 

Speaking of games, y’all have played a LOT of them this year. (Yeah, big shocker, we know.) But across Discord, you’ve been playing these games the most

The three most popular games, and the three largest gaming communities on Discord.

League of Legends continues to dominate after over sixteen years. In some places around the world, LoL is old enough to get a driver’s license. Make sure League knows that staying in the lane is part of driving, and NOT jungling. 

Rematch, a competitive 5v5 football game played from an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective rather than the top-down view you’ll see in most other football games, is one of the fastest-growing games across all of Discord. (It’s the cooler football btw, aka “soccer.”) 

R.E.P.O., the most popular indie game on Discord, pairs really well with the many hours you spent in voice chat, with lots of planning, screaming, and laughing. And laughing at your friends screaming. Ya’know, the usual R.E.P.O. chaos. 

Marvel Rivals brings teams of six together for coordinated teamfights and clutch plays. And nowadays, there’s even a new PvE mode to “relax” in between competitive matches and a “chill” map where up to 100 people can walk around, vibe, emote, and hang out… sounds perfect for Discord! 

Minecraft is a creative landscape where people can play how they want, whether they’re enjoying a traditional game mode like Survival or playing a community-run server’s mode with their own rules. Minecraft enjoyers play the game in wildly different ways from space to space. 

Genshin Impact can be enjoyed both solo and in coop, but no matter the party size, the community comes to talk about the latest character meta, how they’ve conquered RNG on their artifacts, or flex their double 5-star character pulls.

How do these six titles compare to your gaming habits? Your top five most-played games are part of your Checkpoint, so go take a peek and see if any of Discord’s most popular games on the platform appear in your own wrap-up!

What Did YOU Do in 2025? Find Out on Discord

Behind every stat is a story. Behind every chat is a community. The time you spent with friends in voice, the achievements you earned in-game while @everyone cheered you on as you streamed, and the communities big and small, built both your gaming story and ours.

Which of the ten Checkpoint cards did you get assigned at the end? Was the person you ended up talking to the most an obvious answer, or someone you didn’t expect at all? Show us what you were up to by tweeting at us!

Thank you for making Discord what it is. These last ten years of Discord have been built by you. (Yeah, YOU!) And we hope your Checkpoint reflects back the incredible year you helped create. 

Here's to another year of hangin' out together. <3
