It's been a couple of years now since Microsoft and Discord announced a partnership to "connect gamers across Xbox Live and Discord," but as of yet, there's still no official Discord app on Xbox One.
The topic was brought up on Twitter this past Friday when Xbox social media manager Josh Stein responded to a Discord tweet asking for "Xbox integration of some kind", which drew a fair bit of attention.
Stein's remark notched up 2000 likes over the course of the weekend, and Xbox software engineer Brenna Duffitt also responded to it, humorously telling him to "stop signing me up for extra work."
It's all a bit of playful fun, of course, but nevertheless provides some hope that an official Discord app could at least be in the plans for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S in the future.
Is an Xbox Discord app something you'd like to see? Let us know in the comments below.

Discord is the MOST important app that should be included in all next gen consoles! Whoever does it first (Xbox or PS) gets a bigger share of the market immediately in my eyes.
Alongside high speed SSDs, this would be the other killer feature.
I couldn’t care less if Discord came to Xbox.
I'm not even sure I know what it is used for. Voice?
@KelticDevil lol Good for you. The rest of us would love to see it.
This will be a huge deal for teens, I think. All of my students use discord instead of built-in live services (Xbox party chat). I know my 14 year old uses it during gaming as well.
I’ll add that I also think this feature would be great for crossplay games. I was playing Apex last night with a PS4 buddy, and the game chat is borderline broken. The same use to be true with fortnite when it started crossplay.
Would be useful with crossplay games.
Discord is hot garbage so I can do without.
Can someone explain, in layman’s terms, what Discord is and what benefit it offers gamers? I see it mentioned a lot but I just don’t get it.
It appears to be a social media chat app for gaming/businesses and another time sink distracting from actually playing.
Obviously missing something. Asking for a friend
