Before we get all hyped, here’s the deal. Xbox is throwing this awesome perk to their Insider gang first. Starting with the Alpha Skip-Ahead and Alpha rings, they’re letting these insiders take it for a spin and make sure it’s as smooth as butter before they share it with the rest of us.

But don’t worry, my gaming pals. If everything goes according to plan, Xbox is gonna unleash this feature for all of us to enjoy. They’ve got us on the edge of our seats, promising that it’s gonna be “coming soon for everyone.” The wait is real, but it’s gonna be worth it.

So, let’s break it down. Picture this: You’re deep into a game, pulling off some epic moves, and you just have to show off. Xbox is hooking us up. All you gotta do is hit that ‘stream your game’ button, and boom! Your gaming masterpiece is live on Discord, ready for your buddies to cheer you on.

Oh, and here’s the cherry on top. Now you can hop into Discord voice channels right from your Xbox console. Just tap that Xbox button, head over to Parties & Chats, and you’ll find the Discord option waiting for you. From there, you can sift through your Discord servers, pick a voice channel that suits your vibe, and hit that start streaming button. It’s like having your gaming crew right there with you.

Xbox is all ears for your thoughts on this slick feature. They’re amped up about what’s to come, teaming up with Discord to take our gaming adventures to the next level.

Now, rewind a bit to last year. Microsoft had a neat little trick up their sleeve – letting us hop into Discord voice chats straight from our Xbox consoles. They’re all about keeping us connected in the gaming world.

Quick backstory: Discord burst onto the scene in 2015, becoming the ultimate hangout spot for gamers. Fast forward to now, it’s where over 150 million peeps hang out each month. Whether you’re all about gaming or just wanna shoot the breeze, Discord’s got a cozy corner for everyone.

Remember when Microsoft tried to swoop in and grab Discord for a whopping US$10 billion? Yeah, that was back in 2021. But Discord was like, “Nah, we’re playing the long game.” They turned down the offer and set their sights on a grand public debut down the road.

Then, out of the blue, Sony steps in with a surprise move in 2021, making a little investment dance with Discord. That’s why we’ve seen Discord getting cozy with PlayStation on their consoles since 2022. But here’s the twist: It’s not a one-console affair. Xbox is getting in on the action too. No exclusivity here – it’s all about bringing the gaming community together.

So, there you have it – a gaming world where Xbox and Discord are teaming up to make sure we’re never out of the loop in the gaming chat universe. Get ready to share those heart-pounding victories, live and unfiltered, with your buddies on Discord.
