Xbox is testing a new tier of Game Pass for Discord Nitro subscribers.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, newly-installed Xbox boss Asha Sharma announced that the firm would be collaborating ever closer with Discord in the near future<\/a> \u2014 and now, Nitro subscribers have been given a glimpse at what to expect. <\/p>\n

Artwork showing Xbox Game Pass becoming available as part of the Nitro subscription has now been discovered and posted on social media by DiscordPreviews<\/a>, while references to a new “Starter Edition” tier have been found by another user, Redphx<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Discord Nitro ($9.99) Subscribers can soon enjoy free access to Xbox Game Pass (Starter Edition).<\/p>\n

This includes:
– Access to over 50 games from the game pass library
– 10 hours a month of cloud game streaming
– Xbox rewards pic.twitter.com\/84a0l80mFl<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, it was always unlikely that the full Xbox Game Pass catalog would be opened up to Nitro subscribers (who pay $9.99 a month for extra Dsicord features as well as a smattering other rewards). It also remains to be seen if this partnership between Xbox and Discord will also unlock extra rewards for existing Xbox Game Pass members (perhaps Nitro itself becomes part of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offering?)<\/p>\n

For now, though, fans believe the above leaked artwork shows what the new Starter Edition will likely provide: “50+ games, 10 hours of cloud gaming a month.” <\/p>\n

This mention of “50+” games is how Microsoft already describes the smaller-scale catalog available to Xbox Game Pass Essential, so it may be the offerings here are aligned. The Essential line-up includes older classics, such as Batman: Arkham Knight and Dishonored 2, as well as popular indie games such as Among Us, Stardew Valley, Spiritfarer and Inside.<\/p>\n
