Following a last week, Microsoft has unveiled the Game Pass Friends & Family in Ireland, offering the same benefits of Game Pass Ultimate for you and four others at \u20ac22 ($22) per month. That’s less than double the Game Pass Ultimate price for one person (\u20ac13), and works out to just \u20ac4.40 ($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>\n

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>\n

<\/p>\n

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>\n

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<\/em>, or $5 per month per person. On top of multiplayer, Ultimate users can also access Xbox Cloud Gaming, Xbox Live and more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
