Overview
- Discord and Xbox announced Monday a partnership that adds a Game Pass Starter Edition to paid Nitro at no extra charge in eligible regions, with features rolling out over the coming weeks.
- The Starter Edition includes a library of more than 50 Xbox and PC games and 10 hours of cloud streaming each month, with titles like Fallout 4, Stardew Valley, DayZ and Grounded and more to be added over time.
- Nitro members must claim the benefit in Nitro Rewards and link a Microsoft account to play, and Discord added a Play button so users can launch supported Game Pass titles from friends’ activity or streams.
- Xbox Game Pass subscribers will receive Discord perks later in May, including 250 Orbs each month, a 1.2x Quest multiplier and automatic discounts in the Discord Shop.
- Discord’s new Nitro Rewards also offers rotating gear discounts from Logitech G, SteelSeries and KontrolFreek, and some details remain unclear such as regional availability, the full game list and a reported console multiplayer omission that has not been confirmed by both companies.
