Hi Hunters! You’re busy, so I’ll keep it short — attention spans are low these days anyway.

It’s an easy, effortless way to meet high-impact people while doing what we love — gaming. We’ve made matchmaking as simple as possible, and yes… we finally have a legit excuse to play more 😏
More than 10 games are on the table — CS2, LoL, CoD, Dota 2, Fortnite, PUBG, WoW, Valorant, Apex, Overwatch, and more.

@shirshov you're welcome!

@asby This looks awesome! Quick question — will there be an option to link Playwrk to other Discord servers for even easier connections with my gaming community?
@a_anastasiaaaa great question! Right now, Playwrk operates as its own Discord app, so all Playwrk features live within our server. However, we know that many players are part of other gaming communities, and we’re definitely exploring ways to make connections even smoother.
@asby Congrats on the launch! 🚀

@asby now that's a cool idea! As many here, I built incredible friendships over the years based on mutual gaming interests so it's makes so much sense to apply same practice to professional networking. Congrats on the launch!

👋👋👋
I’ve been following Playwrk since the early days, and honestly, I think what the team is building here is super refreshing.
It's one of those ideas that made me think:
Most networking platforms feel forced or transactional. Playwrk flips that by letting people connect naturally over gaming—no awkward intros, no pressure.
You just play, and the connections happen. I’ve seen firsthand how many interesting people are already in the community (founders, execs, creatives), all just looking to unwind and meet new people through games they actually enjoy.
Excited to see this live on Product Hunt.
Big congrats to the team! 👏 🎮
@mituhin, thanks for your support! Exactly, why didn't this exist before?!

Great way to play and network, looking forward to see some older folks playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from 2007
@smart_egg wow, that's some old school stuff, lads playing CoD: Warzone these days, haha
Meteor Files
@asby not sure how many of them in executive position
@smart_egg ++
I lost my COD cd when moving out, and it was a tragedy: somewhat I could't connect to my account anymore
Do some folks still have servers to play available? Last time I checked I've seen only "no perks, no weapon, knives ++"

@alex_jedi yes, active servers are still around, I used to play one I bought via App Store on my Mac, now playing one I bought via Steam inside Parallels. Had to downgrade game to older release to be able to connect to servers. All details can be found on forums. Can send you server IPs later
Congrats on launching! 🚀
This looks suuuuuuuper cool! As an Overwatch player who also builds some indie stuff, I love how you've combined social networking with compet gaming.
Perfect for jumping into a few comp matches in the evening while staying connected with enterpreneur fellas or meet someone new.
Would love to see tournaments added (especially since my playstyle can get a bit intense, haha). Any plans for exclusive community events like this?
Awesome work and best of luck with the launch! 👏
@alex_jedi love the energy! 🔥 And yes, tournaments and exclusive events are definitely something we’re considering. Since Playwrk is all about networking through gaming, adding structured competitions, leaderboard challenges, or even private invite-only events could be a great way to bring the community closer.

@igordebatur @krillbill @janeph thanks for referring! @igordebatur @krillbill what games do you play, guys?

@igordebatur @janeph indeed, the whole idea brings a smile to my face but it also makes so much sense considering how naturally connections happen when playing together.
good luck with the launch @asby - I'm currently playing lots of Helldivers 2, might be a great addition to your games roster?
@igordebatur @janeph @krillbill Hey Kirill, definitely, Helldivers 2 will be on our short-term roadmap! Many replies about this game!

Hey team. Congratulations!
Looks like a fantastic place to connect with like-minded individuals who share your interests — not just in gaming, but also in personal and professional pursuits.
Good luck!
@lipkovskiy thanks a lot, Andrey, I appreciate it!
Awesome idea and product! My husband's gonna love this haha
@mia_k1 thanks, Maria-Cristina! Of course, feel free to refer your husband! :D

This is such a cool idea! Feels like the perfect mix of gaming and community. How did you come up with it?
@erinakate thanks so much! I'm really glad you think so. 😊
The idea for Playwrk actually came from my own experience. As an entrepreneur and gamer, I was always looking for ways to connect with like-minded professionals, but most networking communities seemed too "disconnected". I realized there was a gap in the market for a platform where professionals could game and network organically — without the pressure of traditional networking events or endless LinkedIn messages.

A fantastic place to find people with similar interests. Not just gaming, but also personal and professional ones!
@nazar_tekhta thanks Nazarii, I appreciate your support!
