how to get discord to close current game

To stop Discord from showing your current game, open User Settings and turn off game activity sharing. The simplest fix is to go to Activity Privacy or Game Activity and disable “Display current activity as a status message” or “Share your detected activities with others.”

What to change

• Open Discord and click the gear icon near your username.

• Go to Activity Privacy or Game Activity.

• Turn off Display current activity as a status message.

• If you want more privacy, also turn off Share your detected activities with others.

If Discord still shows the game

• Discord may still be running in the background after you close the window, so it can keep showing activity until you fully exit it.

• On Windows, disable Minimize to Tray if you want the X button to fully close Discord instead of leaving it active.

• If a specific app keeps appearing, you can also remove it from the registered games list or hide it there.

Fastest fix

If your goal is just to hide what you’re playing, turn off the activity status toggle and leave the rest alone. That usually stops Discord from advertising the current game immediately.
