Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has generally grown to be considered one of the best deals in all of gaming. The subscription service gives you access to Xbox Live Gold to play online with friends, as well as the Game Pass libraries of hundreds of games on console, PC, and mobile through cloud gaming. Microsoft is continuing to grow the service with a new Friends & Family group membership option. This is what you need to know about it, including its pricing and regions it is available.

Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family is a new way to enjoy the subscription service at a discount by grouping up five Xbox accounts. One main account sends an invite to four others to join their Friends and Family membership plan. That main account is the only one that pays for the service, so if you and your friends group up, you will need to send money to that main account holder.

As of this writing, the service is currently only in testing in Colombia and Ireland. In Ireland, it costs €21.99 a month and $49,990 COP a month In Colombia. Converting these to American dollars comes out to between $11.22 and $21.89. Given that the standard price for Game Pass Ultimate in America is $15 a month, the final price will likely be closer to the latter, maybe more. If it ends up being $25, though, that’s $5 per person a month.

As stated above, the Game Pass Friends & Family membership is only available in Columbia and Ireland for testing as of this writing. As it expands, we expect it to come to North America, more South America, and more European
