Xbox’s November update is rolling out today, making a number of previously Insider-only features – including improved Discord support – available to all users.
Discord server voice chat support for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S initially launched in September, but was somewhat hampered by its convoluted mobile app requirements.
Today’s Xbox update streamlines the whole process, meaning users simply need to launch a Discord server via their console’s Parties & chats > Discord option then pick a voice channel from their available Discord servers – and as long their Discord and Xbox accounts are linked, they’ll be able to join that channel directly, no additional mobile app faff required.
Additionally, Xbox Series X/S users can take advantage of noise suppression while using Discord Voice chat, blocking out background noise as they speak. The setting can be turned off in the Discord call’s Options settings, however, for those that prefer unfiltered audio.
