Xbox and Discord officially announced a new partnership after speculation earlier in the month. The two companies are teaming up to offer a ‘Starter Edition’ of Xbox Game Pass to Discord Nitro subscribers. There’s no price increase for Discord Nitro, which remains available at $9.99/month or $99.99/year.
According to Discord’s Blog
“So we’re expanding what Nitro can do, beyond Discord and into your gaming life. The games you play, the gear you use, the rewards you earn. This is the biggest expansion to Nitro since we launched it, and it starts with Nitro Rewards, a new benefits program that includes Xbox Game Pass at no additional cost and gear discounts from top gaming brands. We’re also giving members even more ways to earn Orbs.
“As we hit Nitro’s 10-year anniversary, we’re launching Nitro Rewards, a brand-new benefits program built with some of the biggest names in gaming. It gives Nitro members access to gaming services and gear that matter most to players, with ongoing partnerships that extend beyond Discord and into how you play, for as long as you’re a member.
We want to keep the bar high for what we include. Every partner in this program is here because they offer something that people who play games would naturally want. That focus is going to stay as Nitro Rewards grows.”
Discord Nitro already offers users custom per-server profiles, large 500MB file uploads, HD video streaming, color app themes, and more. Now, Discord Nitro will include a “starter edition” of Xbox Game Pass that will have more than 50 Xbox and PC games to download and play, plus 10 hours of cloud gaming streaming every month. Some of the big games starting this new partnership are Fallout 4, Stardew Valley, DayZ, Deep Rock Galactic, Overcooked 2, and Grounded.
Discord Nitro subscribers will also get other perks, including 30% off at Logitech G, 15% off SteelSeries, 20% off KontrolFreek, and 250 Orbs every single month.
