Title: Microsoft’s Game Pass Friend & Family tier goes live in two countries Post by: HCK on September 03, 2022, 04:05:01 pm Microsoft’s Game Pass Friend & Family tier goes live in two countries
<p>Following a leak (https://www.engadget.com/xbox-game-pass-friends-and-family-leak-181151223.html) last week, Microsoft has unveiled (https://www.xbox.com/en-ie/xbox-game-pass/friends-and-family) the Game Pass Friends & Family in Ireland, offering the same benefits of Game Pass Ultimate for you and four others at €22 ($22) per month. That's less than double the Game Pass Ultimate price for one person (€13), and works out to just €4.40 ($4.40) a month each. Better still, it's not limited to family and the only restriction is that all four members have to be in the same country. </p><p>So far, it's come to just two countries, but that might change soon. "Currently we are piloting this plan in Colombia and the Republic of Ireland. Future countries / regions might be added in the next months," Microsoft wrote in a FAQ.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Users in those countries with an existing Game Pass Ultimate plan will see their remaining days pro-rated, basically according to the price difference. That means for 30 days of Game Pass Ultimate you'll get 18 days of Game Pass Friends & family, while 30 days of Xbox Game Pass or Live Gold gets you 12 days. 30 days of EA Play nets 6 days of Game Pass Friends & Family.</p><p>In the US, Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass costs $10 per month, while Game Pass Ultimate is $15 with multiplayer capabilities. The Game Pass Friends & Family is likely to cost around $25 stateside, according to The Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/1/23333605/microsoft-xbox-game-pass-friends-family-pricing-confirmed), or $5 per month per person. On top of multiplayer, Ultimate users can also access Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox Live and more. </p> Source: Microsoft’s Game Pass Friend & Family tier goes live in two countries (https://www.engadget.com/microsofts-game-pass-friends-family-revealed-at-22-a-month-in-ireland-082403729.html?src=rss) |
