Discord announces a new cheaper subscription plan

Discord has released the latest news on the platform, including a new Activities section and the implementation of a cheaper subscription service than Nitro, which will arrive for $2.99.

Discord currently has two types of experiences. Nitro Classic is free and allows you to use avatars, animated GIFs, Discord tags or emojis, as well as improved transmission quality during streaming, among other features.

The Nitro model, for its part, includes all the advantages of the free version and adds improvements such as higher resolution video quality, two server boosts, the extension of the character limit per message or the possibility of sharing files of up to 1,000 megabytes (MB).

The company has indicated that this cheaper plan includes personalized and animated stickers and emojis, new backgrounds, a higher file upload limit and a Nitro profile badge.

This modality will be implemented from this Thursday, October 20. Also, with the release of Nitro Basic, the Nitro Classic plan will no longer be available to new users.

Those who already have an account in this free version, on the other hand, will be able to stay in this plan while their subscription is active.

ACTIVITIES AND APPLICATION DIRECTORY

In addition to its new Nitro Basic subscription service, Discord has released other features of the platform, among which Activities stands out. With this feature, users will be able to play games, watch videos and share other experiences within the platform’s chat, without having to leave the application.

For now, Nitro Classic users will be able to access Putt Party (a miniature golf game) and Watch Together (which allows users to watch the same YouTube video simultaneously).

Meanwhile, Discord Nitro subscribers will be able to access games like Poker Night, Sketch Heads, Chess in The Park, Land-io, Letter League, Checkers in the Parl, and Blazing 8s. However, Discord has commented that it will be adding new experiences soon.

On the other hand, the platform has announced the introduction of a new application directory, which will allow administrators to manage and add or remove features to servers.
