There have been rumors for a while, but now Microsoft has officially launched the Xbox Family Plan and PC Game Pass as an Xbox Insider benefit for users in Colombia and Ireland. If you’re in either region, you can sign up for the program, which allows you to register up to five accounts, including the owner, for a single subscription, all with their own access to the full range of Game Pass Ultimate Games. and benefits
Only the starter account needs to be an Xbox Insider, but any other accounts you add to your subscription must also be in the same country as the primary account holder. Joining the program will convert your current subscription time to the new plan, although your time will be adjusted “based on the cash value of the previous subscription.”
The post announcing the test version details some minor issues players may encounter. Members who already have an active Game Pass subscription may not be able to accept the invite, though Microsoft says it’s “working to ensure those members can immediately cancel their subscription to accept the invite.” Players also can’t upgrade their account twice in 24 hours, so if you need to upgrade from Xbox Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate first, you’ll need to wait 24 hours before upgrading to Game Pass Insider Preview, which allows sharing. family access. .
How much does the Game Pass family plan cost?
Windows Central reports that the Xbox Game Pass family plan is currently offered for €21.99 In Ireland. We can also get an estimate by calculating the time conversion rate, which Microsoft says will see “a full month of Ultimate will convert to 18 days of membership for this plan.”
This means that at the current Ultimate price of $14.99 per month, we can expect the family plan to cost around $24.99. Doing a similar calculation to £10.99 in the UK gives approximately €18.33. Also, it is much cheaper than the standard price when using all five accounts, but it would be worth it even for two users.
There’s no doubt, of course, that Microsoft hopes this lucrative offer will encourage more users to join the Game Pass ecosystem, with some of these new players choosing to purchase additional content or microtransactions for the games included with the service. Either way, it looks like it will definitely be a good deal for users.
It was recently reported that the best Wolfenstein game on PC could be coming to Game Pass. The Persona JRPG series is expected to join the subscription platform in the coming months, starting with the release of Persona 5 Royal on October 21. The long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight: Silksong is also coming to Game Pass on day 1, though we don’t yet have an exact date for when that will be.
