Watch Discord Game Streams On Your Xbox Now

Xbox gamers, get ready for a major upgrade to your social gaming experience! Microsoft and Discord are taking their partnership to the next level with exciting new features that will make connecting with friends easier and more immersive than ever before.

Watch Your Friends’ Streams Right on Xbox

Gone are the days of switching between devices to catch your buddy’s epic gaming moments. Soon, you’ll be able to watch Discord streams directly on your Xbox console. Whether your friends are streaming from a PC, mobile phone, or another Xbox, you’ll have front-row seats to all the action.

This feature will be seamlessly integrated into the Xbox dashboard, allowing you to:

• View streams in full-screen mode
• Adjust volume or mute the stream
• Access streams from the “Happening Now” section of your Friends list

Xbox Insiders will be the first to test this new functionality, with a wider rollout expected in the coming weeks.

Direct Calls and Enhanced Friend Information

But that’s not all! The Discord integration is getting even more robust with these additional features:

• Direct calls to Discord friends: No need to join a server call – connect with your Discord buddies directly from your Xbox.
• Improved friend information: See mutual servers, shared friends, and Xbox gamertags for your Discord contacts.

These enhancements will make it easier than ever to coordinate gaming sessions and stay connected with your cross-platform friends. For tips on building a great gaming community on Discord, check out their official blog post.

A Step Ahead in the Console Wars

It’s worth noting that this update gives Xbox a significant advantage over its rival, PlayStation. While Sony recently introduced Discord voice calls on PS5, the ability to stream gameplay or watch streams remains exclusive to Xbox for now.

What’s Next?

As Microsoft and Discord continue to strengthen their partnership, we can expect even more exciting features in the future. For now, Xbox gamers can look forward to a more seamless and social gaming experience.
