Discord has launched their Rich Presence SDK, allowing developers to integrate with the chat application to make it easier for players to jump directly into game clients and play with friends or spectate. By offering the SDK, Discord is providing developers with another way to engage players with each other and the game.

The Rich Presence SDK is available for C, C++, Unity, or Unreal. Learn more from the Rich Presence SDK website at https://discordapp.com/rich-presence.

That's pretty nice. Blizzard has has this for a while as the ability to join a game via a "lobby link" in chat, and it's a very nice way to grab a pickup group.
