The partnership between Discord Nitro and Xbox Game Pass, which was leaked weeks ago, was officially confirmed by Microsoft this Monday (11). Assinantes from the communication app’s premium plan gain immediate access to a selection of more than 50 games from the company’s catalog.
The new feature comes with improved integration between the two platforms, allowing users to launch Game Pass titles directly from Discord with just a few clicks, if they see friends playing or streaming.
Nitro receives exclusive access to subscription games
Discord Nitro, which costs R$24.99 per month or R$249.99 per year at Brasil, now includes the selected Game Pass library automatically for new and current subscribers. The integration offers titles such as Stardew Valley, DayZ, Overcooked 2 and Grounded, among others.
Essa is the first phase of the collaboration. Discord’s premium plan already provides other benefits to its users, such as expanded space for file uploads, custom emojis, HD quality video streaming, and two monthly server boosts. The addition of Game Pass further reinforces the value of the monthly subscription.
Microsoft reaffirmed that new information about how Game Pass subscribers will receive benefits on Discord will be shared soon through its official channels and social media.

Game Pass will have its own benefits on Discord soon
Proprietários of any Game Pass subscription level will receive exclusive benefits when they connect their accounts to Discord, although details have not yet been released by Microsoft. The company revealed a rewards program that includes:
- 250 Discord Orbs monthly for Game Pass subscribers;
- Multiplicador 1.2x extra orbs when completing missions;

- Acesso prioritizes promotions and special offers.
Os Discord Orbs work as virtual currency to obtain cosmetic items and other facilities within the platform. The orb multiplier also applies to the paid Discord Nitro, accelerating resource accumulation for those who want exclusive cosmetics with greater speed.
Integração made cross-platform easy
The technical integration allows any Discord user to see when a contact is playing or streaming an Game Pass title. A simple click on a friend’s presence opens the game on the platform, eliminating the need to manually browse the library or search for the name of the work.
Essa functionality brings the two ecosystems of Microsoft closer together and positions Discord as a central hub for connections between players. The company says this is just the first step in a broader collaboration between the services.
Descontos in peripherals for Nitro
Além from games and orbs, the enhanced Discord Nitro offers discounts on the Logitech G line of accessories, including keyboards, mice and headsets. Essa partnership with the peripheral manufacturer adds value especially for streamers and competitive players who already use the brand’s products.
Discounts appear automatically in the Discord store when an Nitro user searches for Logitech G products, without the need to enter promotional codes. The promotion aims to strengthen premium user loyalty and create a more integrated experience between software and hardware.
Confirmação official after weeks of speculation
The partnership leak occurred weeks before the official announcement. Comunidades of players were already discussing the possible implications of the merger between two platforms that are so relevant in the gamer streaming and communication scenario. Confirmation ends the period of uncertainty and allows subscribers to make plans based on concrete information.
Microsoft chose Discord as a strategic partner to expand Game Pass’s reach among audiences that do not exclusively use its distribution platforms. Discord has over 150 million monthly active users, representing a massive audience of potential Game Pass subscribers.
Essa synergy reinforces Microsoft’s strategy of integrating its services on third-party platforms, democratizing access to Game Pass in addition to Xbox and Windows PC.
