According to the official announcement, Ireland and Colombia are the first two countries to test this plan. Irish players could try it only for €21.99 per month. The price is 49,900 Colombian pesos for Colombian players. Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan allows the subscribers to share their account with four other people.
They don’t need to live at the same address to share this plan. The only requirement is living in the same country. Five players sharing the same account will cost approximately 5.5 euros per month per user. Players can invite a max of eight people who accept to join the plan per year.
Xbox promises new games will be added all the time, Xbox Game Studios titles will be available the same day as the release, and EA Play membership will be included. This plan also offers exclusive member discounts and free perks such as in-game content and partner offers.
Subscribers who plan on changing their existing plan will automatically convert based on the following table shared by Xbox.
- 30 days of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate – 18 days of Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family
- 30 days of Xbox Game Pass (Console) – 12 days of Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family
- 30 days of PC Game Pass – 12 days of Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family
- 30 days of Xbox Live Gold – 12 days of Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family
- 30 days of EA Play – 6 days of Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family
It is unclear when Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan will be available for the rest of the world.
