Leak reveals Xbox Game Pass ‘Starter Edition’ bundle with Discord

Earlier this week, we learned that Microsoft was reversing last year's price hike on PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions. Alongside that, Microsoft also appears to be testing out ideas for new, cheaper tiers of the Game Pass service. 

Dataminers like Redphx have discovered new strings on the Windows Store, referencing a new Game Pass ‘Starter Edition' tier. Interestingly, this starter edition appears to be a bundle with Discord Nitro, which confirms recent leaks claiming that Microsoft was in talks with other subscription providers to discuss bundle ideas.

This new Starter Edition of Game Pass would give users access to both Discord Nitro and a smaller Game Pass library consisting of 50 titles. On top of that, subscribers to this tier of Game Pass would also get ten hours of cloud gaming time per month.

This starter edition bundle including both Game Pass and Discord Nitro makes sense, as Microsoft has been looking to collaborate with Discord even further to replace its own Xbox social tools.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
