Discord has announced a major expansion of its Nitro Rewards program, introducing the Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition as a new perk for subscribers. The update marks a significant evolution in Discord’s paid membership offering, aligning with user demands for broader gaming benefits.

What’s Included in the New Nitro Rewards Program

The Xbox Game Pass Starter Edition, available in select countries, provides the following benefits to Discord Nitro subscribers:

  • 50+ games including titles like Stardew Valley, DayZ, and Fallout 4
  • 10 hours of cloud gaming per month
  • $25 in annual Store credit via Rewards

Additionally, subscribers gain access to exclusive discounts on gaming peripherals from Logitech and SteelSeries. Discord has indicated that these offers may expand over time, with more partners and perks expected in the future.

Nitro Subscription Details Remain Unchanged

The base Discord Nitro subscription continues to cost $9.99 per month and includes:

  • File uploads up to 500MB
  • Custom emotes on any server
  • HD video streaming
  • Access to all existing Nitro features

Discord emphasized that the new rewards program does not alter the core Nitro subscription benefits, which continue to grow alongside user feedback.

Discord’s Vision for Nitro’s Future

"As it reaches its 10-year milestone, Nitro is entering a new era. Discord is evolving Nitro based on what members have been asking for the most, extending its value into the rest of members' gaming lives – the games they play, the gear they use, and how they show up in the communities they love."

"Everything you already get with Nitro is still here and still growing. What's new is that your membership now works beyond Discord, too. Our goal is to make Nitro the must-have membership for anyone who plays games. This is a big step towards that goal, and we will continue to bring you more exciting partners and perks in 2026 and beyond."

— Lu Zhang, Discord’s senior director of product

Discord’s latest update reinforces its commitment to enhancing the Nitro experience, positioning it as a comprehensive membership for gamers. The company plans to introduce additional partnerships and perks in the coming years, further solidifying Nitro’s role in the gaming ecosystem.
