Microsoft has now made Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan official after several rumors and leaks.
There were several rumors about the upcoming Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan, a new format that could offer subscribers the chance to share their subscriptions with friends and family members. Microsoft has finally confirmed this and released new information about this. Also, the company specifically noted that it is currently only available in Ireland and Colombia.
Initially, Xbox Game Pass can only be subscribed to by one individual. That person could not share the accounts and benefits. It has now been confirmed that a new plan is going to be released and it is now available in two countries. This will allow a subscriber to share their account and benefits with their friends and family members. This plan could possibly be made available in other countries soon if it proves successful in the initial territories.
Here is the description of the new plan on Xbox Support page:
Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family is a Game Pass plan that allows up to five friends and family members to share Game Pass Ultimate benefits.
With the Friends & Family plan, all five members enjoy the benefits of Game Pass Ultimate, with their own unique access to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games, content, and benefits, regardless of what device they play on. All the people you invite can play at the same time—you can even play together in the same game. Plus, you can include friends and family outside your household.
No word yet when Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan will be available in other countries.
