Since its debut in 2015 as an alternative to Skype, Discord has become one of the biggest social platforms on the internet, boasting over 150 million active users as of last year. The service has become a popular place for many content creators as well as major brands to host their communities. With Discord's initial focus around gaming as a central unifying part of the platform's culture, Discord has also seen collaborations with gaming brands like PlayStation and Microsoft. Now, Xbox is set to receive a major Discord feature.

Xbox's newest collaboration would not be the first time Microsoft has teamed up with Discord. Both Xbox and Discord have frequently featured each other through their premium memberships with Discord's «Nitro» program giving out trials of Game Pass and Xbox's service giving Nitro subscriptions. However, while Xbox had previously added Discord integration to the Xbox One and Series X/S, the partnership was limited to displaying active games on a player's profile. Now, one of the platform's biggest features is finally arriving as Microsoft reveals Discord voice chat is coming to Xbox.

Microsoft officially unveiled Xbox's upcoming Discord integration Wednesday morning with the service arriving first for Xbox Insiders before a full release to come at a later date. The integration will require players to link their Xbox and Discord accounts in order to join a call, allowing players to switch between Discord calls and Xbox's game chat. However, the Discord integration will still require Xbox users to start or join the call on Discord's PC client, being prompted to «Join on Xbox» through the PC Xbox app before connecting on the console.
