Discord Nitro may soon include a new Xbox Game Pass tier
Summary created by Smart Answers AI
In summary:
- PCWorld reports that Microsoft could introduce the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition, a new affordable tier potentially bundled with Discord Nitro for $9.99 per month.
- This collaboration would offer subscribers access to more than 50 games, including Stardew Valley and Fallout 4, as well as 10 hours of cloud gaming per month.
- The partnership represents a strategic move to make Xbox Game Pass more accessible while expanding Discord’s premium offerings beyond communication features.
It’s hard enough to keep track of all the different subscription tiers for Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, but it looks like it’s about to get a little more complicated. Neowin reports that Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium, Ultimate, and PC Game Pass will soon be joined by a new subscription tier called Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition.
Microsoft appears to be launching the new tier in partnership with Discord. Asha Sharma, the new head of Xbox, wrote somewhat cryptically earlier this week in a social media post about the new collaboration, but made no mention of a new Xbox Game Pass subscription tier in that cryptic post.
However, the X Discord Previews account revealed a leaked announcement in its own social media post. “Nitro now comes with Xbox Game Pass (Starter Edition)” is written on the promotional image, claiming to provide access to over 50 games like Valley of Stars And Fallout 4and including 10 hours of cloud gaming each month.
Discord Nitro, which costs $9.99/month, would then cost the same as the lowest Xbox Game Pass Essential tier while offering the same library of 50+ games and all the benefits of Nitro. The main downside is only 10 hours of cloud gaming, while the Essential tier offers unlimited access.
Microsoft has yet to officially confirm the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition and we don’t know when it will launch if it does.
