Discord Nitro subscribers now get Xbox Game Pass included for free

Discord has launched Nitro Rewards, a new benefit programme that gives Discord Nitro subscribers access to the base tier of Xbox Game Pass and other gaming perks at no additional cost. As reported by TechCrunch, the feature partners with major gaming services and hardware manufacturers to enhance the value of Nitro subscriptions. Initial partners include Microsoft's gaming service and Logitech G hardware offers.

What is Discord Nitro Rewards?

Discord Nitro Rewards is a new feature exclusively for Discord Nitro subscribers, offering access to perks and special offers from gaming services and hardware partners. The programme aims to add tangible value beyond Discord's core features like higher upload limits, custom emojis, and HD video calls. According to the announcement, these rewards come at no extra cost to existing Nitro subscribers.

The initiative represents Discord's strategy to make its paid subscription more competitive in the gaming market. By partnering with established gaming brands, Discord positions Nitro as more than just a communication platform upgrade. The bundle approach adds gaming-service benefits to the existing Nitro feature set.

What perks are included with Discord Nitro Rewards?

Launch partners include the base tier of Xbox Game Pass and offers on Logitech G gaming hardware. The Xbox Game Pass inclusion gives subscribers access to Microsoft's gaming library at no extra cost beyond Nitro. Xbox Game Pass regularly adds new titles to its library.

Logitech G offers include special deals on gaming peripherals, though specific discount amounts haven't been disclosed. Discord has not disclosed the specific discount amounts on Logitech G peripherals. Discord has not announced additional partners but said more collaborations are planned.

What Nitro Rewards adds to the subscription

Nitro Rewards adds gaming-service perks to what was previously a platform upgrade subscription. The Xbox Game Pass base tier alone typically costs $9.99 monthly, while Discord Nitro costs $9.99 monthly, effectively making the Discord features free for Game Pass users. The pricing means Discord Nitro and Xbox Game Pass effectively bundle for the cost of one.

The bundled offering targets gamers who already use Discord and gaming subscription services.

Who Nitro Rewards is aimed at

Discord Nitro Rewards is positioned at active gamers who already pay for Xbox Game Pass or purchase gaming peripherals. The bundled Game Pass base tier matches the standalone Game Pass monthly price.

Casual Discord users who do not game frequently may see less value in the current partner selection. Discord's track record with safety features suggests they'll likely expand the rewards programme with additional partners over time.
