How to Manually Change the Game Status?
Discord is fully equipped with automatic detecting features as it easily captures the game or program running in your device and has the ability to recognize a group of games. For instance, if Discord detects the “LeagueofLegends.exe” running on Windows 10, it informs you very quickly and then shows the message of the gaming status as “Playing League of Legends.”
All the verified games can be easily detected by Discord as its database knows what kind of gaming file it is and recognizes the executable file into the section of Task Manager. Then the app occupies the game status with that particular detected status. However, there is no way to edit the authenticated games as far as I know, but one can easily edit the unauthenticated games or any other programs.

- First of all, launch the game and run it into the background.
