Delisting
Discord announced on September 12th, 2019 that their Nitro Games service and storefront would be shutting down less than a month later on October 15th. In their blog post announcement, Discord’s Nelly stated:
This coming October marks one year since we signed the first batch of games to our Nitro Games catalogue. This means next month, it’s time to revisit those annual contracts.
We learned a lot from all of you over the last year. Through your valuable feedback, it became clear that while we and some of you love these games, the truth is the vast majority of Nitro subscribers didn’t play them.
So, after careful consideration, we won’t be hitting Continue when these contracts come up for renewal. The Nitro Games catalogue will be removed on October 15th, 2019.
To those who did support these games, thank you so much. We know this may be a surprising change, so If you want to cancel your Nitro subscription because of this, we’re offering a refund: you can contact our team here.
As of September 12th individual purchases of games were disabled but subscribers (new and existing) were able to access the Nitro Games catalog until October 15th. The blog post also confirmed that any games that users had purchased or were awarded as Nitro Games Perks would still be accessible in their individual libraries.

About the Service
“We’ve slaved over hot stoves. We’ve travelled the world. We’ve explored sunken ships, and we’ve returned with something we think you’ll love.
We want to make it easier for you to find games to play with your friends. Our curated selection, editorialized content, and surfacing of social information should help you figure out which games are right for you. No need to browse endless lists of anime titles — we make it easy to find something great to play.
Again, we literally travelled the world to find great games and bring them to you (Sweden is sick)! These games will launch First on Discord (lovingly referred at Discord HQ as FOD), which means they’re exclusive on PC to Discord for usually 90 days. FOD games may also launch on console during this time.
Discord Nitro now includes a growing library of critically acclaimed games that we think you and your friends should play. Subscribing to Nitro now costs $9.99 a month. As of today, there’s over 60 curated games for you to download and play at a total value of over $1000. We are going to add games at a regular cadence to keep the Nitro library fresh and growing.
Games may sometimes leave the Nitro selection (due to our contracts with the developers/publishers expiring without renewal). With our cloud saves, your save data will remain even if games rotate out of our library.
We also want an option for those looking to support us but don’t want games. Enter, Nitro Classic. At $4.99/mo, get access to a slew of chat perks like animated avatars, ability to choose your tag (the #0000 next to your username), higher quality screen share, custom emoji anywhere, animated emoji, larger file upload limit (50mb from 8mb), and a badge to show how long you’ve been supporting us. The classic Nitro load-out.“
