Discord and Microsoft have officially joined forces. From now on, a Discord Nitro subscription will include a special version of Xbox Game Pass, allowing users to access over 50 games on PC and console as part of a single subscription.
Xbox Game Pass arrives on Discord Nitro
The new offer will be available in the full version of Discord Nitro for $9.99 a month. Microsoft and Discord describe the new variant as a "starter edition," as the service has certain limitations compared to the classic Game Pass. The biggest downside is the lack of online multiplayer on consoles and a limit of 10 hours per month for cloud gaming. Nevertheless, the offer may turn out to be very attractive for some PC gamers who already use Discord daily and do not need the full version of Microsoft's subscription.
Discord integrates more closely with the Xbox ecosystem
The new collaboration also includes additional integration of Game Pass with Discord's features. Users will be able to launch their friends' games more quickly directly from the "Now Playing" status. If someone on the friends list is playing a title available on Game Pass, Discord will allow easy access to launching it through the Xbox app. Along with the update, Discord Nitro has also added new discounts for subscribers. Users will receive discounts of up to 30 percent on products from gaming brands such as Logitech, SteelSeries, and KontrolFreek. This feature is set to be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks.
Microsoft is increasingly developing its strategy of integrating Xbox Game Pass with other services. The integration with Discord Nitro may be particularly interesting for PC gamers who want to access the Game Pass ecosystem more affordably without purchasing a full subscription.
