Shared games, sessions, and RSVP from Discord Activity. Play with friends

Pick a multiplayer game without another Discord poll

Filter to titles everyone owns, shortlist 2-5, then pin one on the session invite.

Polls measure hype, not ownership

A Discord poll across six backlog favorites ignores who actually owns what. You end up negotiating refunds or waiting on a download nobody started.

Ownership overlap answers "what can we launch tonight?" before anyone votes.

A faster pick loop

  • Refresh libraries, then open shared games.
  • Narrow to 2-5 candidates with the what to play together.
  • Host picks one title and pins it on a session invite - or spins the shortlist in the game night spinner.
  • Friends RSVP yes or no. No second poll for time if the session already has a slot.

When a poll still makes sense

Use a quick vote only after overlap is done, and only on the shortlist. Never poll the whole backlog.

FAQ

Should we ever use a poll?
Only on a shortlist after overlap is done. Polls across the whole library pick games someone cannot launch.
Can PlayGrid pick randomly for us?
Yes - after overlap. Paste the shortlist into the game night spinner. Random picks without ownership still fail.
How do friends confirm the pick?
RSVP on the session invite. Yes or no before the slot, not another thread.
