Xbox Game Pass Will Also Be Available with a Starter Edition: Here's What It's About
The Xbox division has initiated a true revolution, following the management change. In addition to accelerating the project for the new Xbox, the price cut of the Game Pass has also been implemented, with the future titles of the Call of Duty series leaving the catalog (at least for the first post-launch phase). On the horizon, a new tier for the Game Pass is also coming, which will soon be available with the Starter Edition version.
A Bundle with Discord?
The Starter Edition plan for the Game Pass has been at the center of various rumors in recent hours. According to Discord Previews, this plan could be offered in a bundle with Discord Nitro, guaranteeing access to more than 50 games from the Game Pass library in addition to 10 hours of gameplay with the cloud service.
Discord Nitro ($9.99) Subscribers can soon enjoy free access to Xbox Game Pass (Starter Edition). This includes:
- Access to over 50 games from the game pass library
- 10 hours a month of cloud game streaming
- Xbox rewards
Asha Sharma, CEO of Xbox, has long confirmed the willingness to make the Game Pass more modular and customizable, opening the doors to new subscription plans as well as new partnerships, such as the one that might come with Discord. There has also been talk of a possible bundle with Netflix.
At the moment, it is unclear whether the Starter Edition version will also be available individually. This plan is very similar to the Essential version, which provides access to a catalog of "more than 50 games," costing €8.99 per month. It is possible that the new tier will be offered as a version of the Game Pass to be bundled with third-party services.
