Discord Nitro is a premium Discord membership that gives video game players tons of frills in customizing their user experience with emojis, animated GIF avatars, evolving profile badges, etc. Discord Nitro owners can also upload files of larger size, stream in HD quality, and get plenty of other chat perks. However, such abundance has its price. Luckily, Epic Games Store users were given a unique opportunity to enjoy a month-long subscription to Discord Nitro for free to celebrate this service’s launch on the platform. Once the promo ends, the Nitro subscription will be a paid service again, available to EGS users at the standard monthly rate.
Here is how to redeem and use the Discord Nitro offering from the Epic Games Store while it is still available:
- Find the Discord Nitro link on the Epic Games Store.

***Note that the service will ask you for payment information but will not use it until your free trial period is up and only if you decide to continue using Discord Nitro.
- Once all necessary information has been entered, press ‘Accept Gift.’
- To cancel the subscription, go to the Nitro Payment info section and press ‘Cancel.’
