Discord is deepening its partnership with Xbox by bringing Discord Voice chat to the Xbox platform — a feature that gamers have been requesting for years.

Soon, Xbox gamers jumping in for some multiplayer action will also be able to voice chat with their friends on Discord directly on their console. This is a big plus for games like Call of Duty: Warzone. The in-game chat often slows down the performance of the battle royale game, so my friends and I talk to each other on Discord Voice instead with fewer latency problems. Now it will be easier to do that using the Xbox mobile app.
