Category: Announcements[/list]May 11, 2026 Xbox Game Pass and Discord: Building on Our Partnership to Bring More Benefits to Players
For years, Xbox and Discord have worked together to make it easier to connect, chat, and play together across devices. From bringing Discord voice to Xbox consoles to enabling live streaming directly to your Discord friends, we’ve been focused on meeting players where they already are and making gaming more social along the way.
We’re teaming up again as we continue to make Game Pass more flexible for players, bringing new benefits to both Xbox Game Pass and Discord communities.
Discord Reveals Updates to Discord Nitro, Now Including Xbox Game Pass
Earlier today, Discord shared updates to its Discord Nitro membership, introducing new features and benefits for its members. As part of that update, Discord Nitro now includes a starter edition of Xbox Game Pass where available, giving eligible members a new way to discover and play great games.
Discord has also rolled out updates that make it even easier to discover and jump into games included with Game Pass. When you see a friend playing something you want to try, whether in their game stream or Discord game activity, look for the ‘Play’ button and select ‘Xbox Game Pass’ to start playing.
For more details on what’s new with Nitro and how eligible Discord members can access Xbox Game Pass, check out Discord’s announcement here.
We look forward to hearing what you think.
Coming Soon: Discord Nitro Benefits for Xbox Game Pass Subscribers
Soon, eligible Xbox Game Pass subscribers will also receive Discord Nitro benefits as part of our ongoing partnership. This will start later this month.

We’ll keep working alongside Discord to bring players closer together. We’ll have more to share soon on how eligible Xbox Game Pass subscribers can access these Discord benefits. Stay tuned to our social channels and Xbox Wire for future updates.
