Xbox chief Asha Sharma has teased a new collaboration between Xbox Game Pass and Discord, signalling another step in Xbox's push to make Game Pass more flexible for subscribers.
Speaking about the move, Sharma said the companies were "teaming up again as we continue to make Game Pass more flexible." Precise details of the deal were not disclosed, but Sharma suggested relevant code could appear in the wild and promised that more information would be shared soon.
The announcement follows a recent reduction in the price of Game Pass Ultimate, a change that has been part of a broader strategy to expand Game Pass's reach and attractiveness. A tie-up with Discord could deepen social and discovery features for the subscription service, potentially improving friend invites, presence information or cross-platform communication, though Microsoft and Discord have not confirmed specific features.
Xbox and Discord have a history of technical and social integrations, and this latest tease appears to be another iteration of that relationship. The companies have previously worked together on presence features and community-focused tools, making the prospect of further cooperation a logical step for both platforms.
Pure Xbox first reported Sharma's comments. Further official details from Xbox or Discord are expected to follow as the partnership is clarified.
