Guilded is a VoIP, instant messaging, and digital distribution platform designed by Guilded Inc. and was bought by Roblox Corporation on August 16, 2021 for $90M.[1] Since then, Guilded has been integrated with Roblox Corporation's Roblox. The company is based in San Francisco.[2] Users communicate with voice calls, video calls, text messaging, media and files in private chats or as part of communities called "servers".[3] Guilded was founded by Eli Brown, a former Facebook and Xbox employee.[2] Guilded is available on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and iOS.

Guilded is a main competitor of Discord and primarily focuses on video game communities, such as those focused on competitive gaming and esports.[1][3] It provides features intended for video gaming clans, such as scheduling tools and integrated calendars.[3][4] Guilded is developed by Guilded, Inc., which has been an independent product group of Roblox since August 16, 2021.[5][6]

On May 31, 2024, Roblox Corporation announced that all current accounts must have a Roblox account linked before July 15, 2024 to continue using their Guilded account, while new users will only have the option to sign up with Roblox.[7] On October 12, 2024, Roblox Corporation restricted access for Guilded users in Russia, citing concerns that Guilded could be blocked in the country.[8]

On October 3, 2025, Roblox Corporation announced that Guilded will be shutting down by the end of 2025,[9] with the final day of service set for December 19, 2025.[10]
