Patchnoter
Discord bot

Patchnoter in your Discord

Ask what changed in your game without leaving Discord, and get every new patch posted in your server the day it lands. Apex Legends, Battlefield 6, Marvel Rivals, Megabonk and Project Zomboid, all from the official patch notes.

In Discord it shows up as patchnoter.com.

Two ways to add it

Add it to a server so everyone there can use it and get patch posts, or add it to your own account and use it anywhere.

To a server

For server owners and anyone with Manage Server.

  1. Press Add to your server.
  2. Pick the server from the list and press Continue.
  3. Leave the three permissions ticked and press Authorize.
  4. Type / in any channel and the commands are there.
Add to your server

It asks for View Channel, Send Messages and Embed Links, so it can post new patches as a card with a picture. Nothing else: it cannot read your chat, ping anyone or change your server.

To your account

For anyone. No server needed.

  1. Press Add to your account.
  2. Press Authorize.
  3. Use the commands in any server, in your DMs and in group chats, even where the bot was never added.
Add to your account

Automatic patch posts need the bot added to a server. On your account you get the commands.

Talking to it

Type / in a message box, pick a command, fill in the boxes Discord shows you and press Enter. Here is everything it answers.

/catchup

The biggest changes since you last played. Say it the way you would say it out loud: "3 months ago", "Season 29", "March", "launch".

/catchup game: Apex Legends since: 3 months ago

/patch

The top changes in the newest patch. Pick a version to see an older one.

/patch game: Battlefield 6

/apex/battlefield/marvel-rivals/megabonk/zomboid

What changed for one legend, hero, gun, vehicle or item in its last patch, with a link to its whole history.

/marvel-rivals name: Hela

/find

Search every change in a game for a word, newest first.

/find game: Apex Legends text: mozambique

/tierlist

A creator's tier list, credited and linked to their video. Marvel Rivals has one today.

/tierlist game: Marvel Rivals

/follow

Get every new patch of a game as a DM. You get a confirmation and the latest patch straight away, then each new patch as soon as it is live. Press "Stop these DMs" under any of them, or type /unfollow. /following lists what you follow.

/follow game: Apex Legends

/help or /patchnoter

The list of commands, inside Discord. Only you see the answer. If other bots also have a /help, type /patchnoter, or press Help under any of the bot's messages.

/patchnoter

Names and seasons fill in as you type. Start typing "hel" or "season" and pick from the list. If a name could mean several things, the bot asks which one you meant.

New patches, posted for you

Point the bot at a channel and every new patch lands there as a card the day it goes up on Patchnoter. These need Manage Server.

  • /subscribe game, channelStarts posting that game's patches in the channel. The newest patch is posted straight away, so you see what it looks like.
  • Every patch, or only high-impact onesPick Only high-impact patches to skip small bug-fix builds and get the ones with several big changes.
  • /unsubscribe gameStops the posts, in one channel or all of them.
  • /subscriptionsLists which channels get which games.
  • What a post holdsOur take on the patch, the top five changes, the patch picture, and buttons to the full patch notes and the review.

Good to know

Where do the answers come from?

The same place as this site: each game's official patch notes, with the one-line summaries and Top 5 you see on Patchnoter.

Will it ping my server?

No. It never mentions anyone, a role or @everyone.

Does it read our messages?

No. It only sees the commands you send it.

A post stopped arriving.

Check the bot can still see the channel and send messages there. After a few failed posts it pauses that channel until you run /subscribe again.

Stuck, or want a game added?

Ask in our Discord. That is also where to tell us if an answer reads wrong.
