Microsoft has now officially confirmed the branding for the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family plan branding, as well as its initial price and some more details. Not too long ago, an image of the branding for the plan had leaked on Twitter, but now it has been confirmed by Microsoft.
In Colombia and Ireland, webpages for the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family plan have gone live, and the prices start at 21.99 euros/month in Ireland and $49,990 COP/month in Colombia.
The DZSH Group reported earlier this year that Microsoft would be moving forward with a family plan for its popular Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Microsoft confirmed the plans in August 2022, adding that the plans had entered testing in Ireland and Colombia.
The plan allows up to five people to join on one subscription account. All users on the account can enjoy the benefits of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, including Xbox Live Gold and EA Play. Check out our full review and thoughts on all tiers of Xbox Game Pass.
