Microsoft Discord is expanding its Nitro program with more perks for subscribers. Among them is a "starter edition" of Xbox Game Pass that sounds similar to the Essential tier of the service (for those counting, that means there are now five versions of Game Pass available). This includes access to more than 50 console and PC games, such as Fallout 4, Stardew Valley, Day Z, Deep Rock Galactic, Overcooked 2 and Grounded. More will be added over time.
Game Pass starter edition also offers 10 hours of cloud gaming access per month. (Essential includes unlimited cloud gaming). You can stream certain games from your Xbox library. You'll be able to earn Xbox rewards as well.
Nitro subscribers who don't currently have a Xbox Game Pass subscription will be able to take up the starter edition offer. For now, it will be available in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States.
