Best Social Networks for Gamers

Are you looking for a social network to meet other players? Then you are in luck because we have compiled a list of the best social networks for gamers.

The bad news is that most social networks that are only for players are now down. The good news, though, is that you can connect and share with like-minded people through many social networks.

Reddit

Reddit should be your first stop in finding a social network for gamers. You’ve probably heard horror stories about this site, but remember one thing: Reddit is little more than the center of an independent community called subreddits.

Discord

If you’re a gamer who’s never used Discord before, you’re ready for a treat! This amazing app is a text, voice, and video chat tool in one, making it a great kind of social network for gamers. Many large Discords also use Discord bots, which add additional social features. These include badges, ratings, music and video integrations, polls, reputation system, custom profiles, virtual currency, and more.

Killing Floor 2

You may already be using Steam to buy new games and manage your collection, but did you know that it’s also essentially a social media venue?

Steam is great if you are always connected on social media and connected when you need it. The instant messaging feature allows text and voice chat, and its friend’s list makes it easy to see which games your friends are playing.

Twitch

Twitch has revolutionized gaming. It is a video streaming site that provides a platform where everyone can Livestream their gaming sessions so others can listen and watch when it suits them. Twitch is nothing more than a streaming site. Entire communities can (and often do) surround certain people and organizations, like what we see on YouTube. And because each stream has a chat feature, fans can chat with each other while watching the stream and playing the game.

What is Your Favorite?

Both the PlayStation Network (PSN) and Xbox Live (XBL) communities deserve praise.

Each of them offers console players social features such as finding and adding friends, sending and receiving messages, and more. However, none of them are enough for us to consider it a real social gamer network.
