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 access to over 50 games on PC and consoles under a single subscription.
Xbox Game Pass is coming to 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” because the service has certain limitations compared to the classic Game Pass. The biggest downside is the lack of online multiplayer on consoles and a 10-hour monthly limit for cloud gaming. Nevertheless, the offer may be very attractive to some PC gamers who already use Discord daily and do not need the full version of Microsoft’s subscription.
Discord integrates more strongly with the Xbox ecosystem
The new collaboration also includes additional integration of Game Pass with Discord features. Users will be able to launch 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 for an easy transition to launch it through the Xbox app. Alongside the Discord Nitro update, new discounts have also been added for subscribers. Users will receive discounts of up to 30 percent on products from gaming brands such as Logitech, SteelSeries, and KontrolFreek. The feature is expected to be rolled out gradually over the coming weeks.
Microsoft is increasingly developing its strategy of integrating Xbox Game Pass with other services. Integration with Discord Nitro could be particularly interesting for PC gamers who want to enter the Game Pass ecosystem at a lower cost without purchasing a full subscription.
