Discord has quietly dropped one of its biggest social features yet: Discord Checkpoint, a Spotify Wrapped–style recap of your year on the platform that’s already flooding timelines and servers with flashy stat cards and avatar decorations.
And yes, it’s official: this is Discord’s first-ever personalized year-in-review, rolled out as part of the company’s 10th anniversary celebrations in 2025.
What Exactly Is Discord Checkpoint?
Discord Checkpoint is a new,
in-app year recap that pulls together your personal stats from 2025 and turns them into a slick, shareable slideshow.
You’ll see things like:
-
Total messages sent-
Time spent in voice calls-
Your most-used emojis-
Servers you hung out in the most-
The person you talked to the most-
Top games you played while on Discord (as teased in Discord’s promo video)
Discord pitches it as a way to celebrate “a decade of the games you’ve played, the friendships you’ve made, and the memories you’ve created” on the platform.
In other words: it’s your
Discord life, quantified and gamified.
Why Discord Is Doing This Now
According to Discord’s own help docs,
Checkpoint was launched in 2025 specifically to mark its 10th anniversary.
It also follows a now-familiar trend:
-
Spotify Wrapped-
YouTube’s recaps-
Steam’s Year in Review-
PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo stats roundupsTech platforms have figured out that users
love data about themselves—especially if it’s snackable, visual, and shareable. Checkpoint is Discord’s answer to that cultural moment, and it firmly positions the app not just as a chat tool, but as a place where your
social life and gaming habits live.
How to See Your Discord Checkpoint
Checkpoint is rolling out
gradually, so not everyone will see it at the same time. But if it’s available for your account, here’s how to find it.
On Mobile
According to Discord and multiple guides:
1.
Update the Discord app to the latest version.
2. Open the app and tap the
“You” tab at the bottom-right.
3. Look for the
Checkpoint banner at the top and tap it.
4. Watch your interactive recap slideshow to the end.
Some guides also mention opening your
profile and tapping the Checkpoint banner from there.
On Desktop
On desktop or in your browser:
1. Open Discord and log in.
2. Look to the
top-right corner of the app.
3. Click the
small flag icon (near the inbox/mail icon).
4. Your Checkpoint recap will open as a series of slides.
Why You Might Not See It Yet
If Checkpoint isn’t showing up, Discord and outside reports cite a few likely reasons:
-
Rollout delay: It started rolling out around
4 December 2025, but not all users get it at once.
-
Not enough activity: If your 2025 activity was very low, Discord may not generate a recap for you.
-
Privacy settings: If you turned off
“Use data to personalize my Discord experience”, Checkpoint won’t appear.
-
Outdated app: You must be on the
latest version on both mobile and desktop for the banner/icon to appear.
Translation: if you lurk more than you chat, or if you’re strict about data personalization, you might be sitting this one out.
The Checkpoint Cards: Discord’s New Social Flex
Once you’ve watched your recap, Discord assigns you
one of ten “Checkpoint cards” based on your usage patterns.
These cards are:
-
Personality-style labels that reflect how you used Discord in 2025
-
Designed to be shared in chats and on social media
- Paired with a
matching Avatar Decoration you can wear
These
avatar decorations act like temporary digital badges. You can display them on your profile and spot others with the same “type” across servers, creating instant micro-identities and in-jokes inside communities.
There’s a catch, though: they’re
time-limited.
- You can wear your Checkpoint avatar decoration
until 15 January 2026.
- After that, it disappears—likely making room for whatever recap format comes next year.
It’s classic FOMO design: show it off now, or lose the flex window.
How Long Checkpoint Stays Available
From the rollout details and official info:
- Checkpoint began rolling out
early December 2025.
- Checkpoint experiences and avatar decorations are
available until 15 January 2026.
So if you want to grab screenshots, share your stats, or rock your Checkpoint decoration, there’s a
clear expiry date.
What This Says About Discord’s Future
Checkpoint isn’t just a fun year-end toy—it’s a signal.
Here’s what it suggests about where Discord is heading:
-
Deeper personalization: The feature relies on behavioral data and opt-in personalization settings, pointing toward more tailored experiences on the platform.
-
Stronger identity tools: The avatar decorations and personality-like cards extend Discord’s push into
profile expression, not just servers and roles.
-
Social virality built-in: Checkpoint is designed to be shared
inside Discord chat, turning recap posts into content and conversation starters.
-
Competing for attention with “big platforms”: By joining the recap race alongside Spotify, Steam, and consoles, Discord plants itself firmly in the center of users’ digital year, not just at the edges.
If Checkpoint takes off—and early coverage suggests strong curiosity and engagement—it will be surprising if Discord doesn’t make this an
annual tradition.
How to Make the Most of Your Checkpoint
If you’ve got Checkpoint access, here’s how to squeeze value (and fun) out of it:
-
Screenshot key slides for your own records—messages, voice time, or top servers.
-
Share your card in your favorite servers to compare stats and spark conversations about how your communities changed this year.
-
Wear the avatar decoration while it lasts to find others with the same card “type.”
-
Check your privacy settings if you want to opt in (or out) of future personalization-based features.
Behind the jokes and memes, Checkpoint also gives you a small mirror: a look at how much of your year happened in voice calls, late-night chats, and shared games.
For a platform built on
hanging out, that recap might matter more than it looks.
