A new leak reveals that Microsoft is launching an Xbox Game Pass 'Starter Edition', which will be bundled with Discord Nitro subscriptions. The revelation follows a teaser from Microsoft about a partnership between Discord and Xbox Game Pass.
The Starter Edition is a more limited version of the standard Game Pass, offering access to over 50 games from the library, along with 10 hours of cloud streaming per month. It's designed to provide a taste of the service at a lower cost, likely to attract new subscribers.
Discord Nitro users will receive this Starter Edition as part of their subscription, giving them the ability to play a curated selection of games without an additional purchase. The move is seen as a strategic effort to boost Game Pass adoption by leveraging Discord's large user base.
Microsoft has not officially confirmed the leak, but the details align with the company's recent hints about expanding Game Pass accessibility. More information is expected in the coming weeks.
