Big news, gamers! Xbox might be gearing up to launch a new Game Pass tier called the ‘Starter Edition,’ and it could come with a sweet bonus: a Discord Nitro subscription. If you’re into gaming and chatting with friends on Discord, this could be a game-changer.
According to some sneaky leaks spotted by third-party developer Redphx, and shared on Discord by the account Discord Preview, the new tier could cost $9.99 a month. It’s rumored to include over 50 games, 10 hours of cloud streaming, and Xbox rewards. The kicker? It bundles in Discord Nitro, which usually costs the same price by itself! That’s some serious value if you ask me.
This move makes sense since Xbox bosses recently hinted at plans to shake up their Game Pass offerings for more differentiation and sustainability. Xbox is clearly listening to its community, and this modular approach could make the service more customizable, as suggested in a recent report. Imagine picking and choosing your Game Pass features like a buffet—sounds fun, right? For more on how Xbox might be changing up its exclusives, check out our deep dive here.
