Nitro Now Comes with Xbox Game Pass and New Benefits. Welcome to Nitro Rewards.

I've been playing games with friends my entire life. These days, with two kids at home, that looks like maybe an hour after bedtime. And, that hour almost always starts on Discord, checking what friends are up to, figuring out what to play, and jumping in. I've been on the platform since 2015, and my Nitro membership is what makes it feel like mine.

We've spent years making Nitro the best way to experience Discord, with things like custom profiles, HD streaming, and bigger uploads. Millions of members use it to express themselves, enhance their servers, and make Discord feel like theirs. But like me, most of our users come to Discord because of games. We've always thought of Nitro as a way to make Discord better. Now we want it to be a gaming membership that makes everything around it better too.

So we're expanding what Nitro can do, beyond Discord and into your gaming life. The games you play, the gear you use, the rewards you earn. This is the biggest expansion to Nitro since we launched it, and it starts with Nitro Rewards, a new benefits program that includes Xbox Game Pass at no additional cost and gear discounts from top gaming brands. We're also giving members even more ways to earn Orbs.

Nitro Rewards: Perks built for people who play games

As we hit Nitro’s 10-year anniversary, we're launching Nitro Rewards, a brand-new benefits program built with some of the biggest names in gaming. It gives Nitro members access to gaming services and gear that matter most to players, with ongoing partnerships that extend beyond Discord and into how you play, for as long as you're a member.

We want to keep the bar high for what we include. Every partner in this program is here because they offer something that people who play games would naturally want. That focus is going to stay as Nitro Rewards grows.

Here's what's rolling out in the first wave.

Xbox Game Pass, included with Nitro

Nitro members now get access to a starter edition of Xbox Game Pass, including a library of 50+ PC and console games you can download and play anytime you want. Your Nitro membership is still the same price, and Game Pass is now part of it.

I think this is one of the best benefits we’re offering because it changes how you try games. Most of us have spent money on something, played it for a couple weeks, then watched it sit in our library. Game Pass removes that friction. The starter edition of Game Pass also comes with 10 hours of cloud gaming, so you can stream games right away on more devices. Whether you're into survival, strategy, co-op, or just want to farm in peace, there's something in there for you. Think Fallout 4, Stardew Valley, DayZ, Deep Rock Galactic, Overcooked 2, Grounded, and more. New games will be added periodically, so there will be more to play. Check out your Nitro Home to get started.

Gear discounts from Logitech G and SteelSeries

Good gear matters. Nitro members now get up to 30% off at Logitech G, 15% off SteelSeries, and 20% off KontrolFreek, with new offers rotating regularly. Whether it's a new headset, a mouse, or a keyboard, these are the brands a lot of our members already use, and these discounts make it easier to upgrade when you're ready.

And we're not stopping here. We're focused on adding partners that match what excites our Nitro members, from the games they play to the content they watch to the services they love. We'll share more as those come together.

Note: Nitro Rewards are rolling out now and will be available to all Nitro members over the coming weeks in eligible regions. Terms apply.

More ways to earn Orbs

On top of Nitro Rewards, we're also giving members more ways to earn Orbs. You’ll now unlock 250 Orbs every single month, just for having Nitro, plus an Orbs Multiplier, so every Quest you complete earns you more Orbs than before. Personally, I spend mine as soon as I have them. The Shop has a lot of good stuff in it, and Orbs make it easier to pick up the items you actually want.

What this means for Nitro

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.

If you're a Nitro member, check your Nitro Home to see what's new. We're rolling these benefits out to members over the coming weeks, so if you don't see them yet, they're on the way. If you've been on the fence about Nitro, this is the update we'd want you to see.
