Microsoft is partnering with Discord again following recent Game Pass price cuts. Gaming CEO Asha Sharma confirmed the collaboration aims to make Game Pass more flexible for players.
Microsoft announced the partnership just one day after reducing prices for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscriptions. The tech giant has not disclosed specific details about what the Discord integration will include.
Given the focus on Game Pass, the partnership likely introduces new perks or benefits for existing subscribers. Discord's 150+ million users represent a significant audience for Microsoft's gaming services.
This marks another collaboration between the two companies. Discord has previously integrated with Xbox services, allowing users to connect gaming accounts and share content across platforms.
Microsoft has been actively expanding Game Pass offerings this year through various partnerships and price adjustments. The timing of this announcement suggests the company is leveraging Discord's user base to drive Game Pass adoption.
Full details of the partnership are expected to be revealed soon.
