Microsoft Introduces Shared Xbox Game Pass Subscription in Ireland and Colombia

Following a trial period, Microsoft has officially launched a friends and family plan for Xbox Game Pass in Ireland and Colombia. This plan allows one primary user and up to four additional players to share a single Game Pass Ultimate subscription, each with their own unique profiles and accounts. The monthly cost for this plan is €21.99 in Ireland and 49,900 pesos in Colombia. Subscribers to the Ultimate plan gain access to a wide range of games, EA Play, cloud gaming, and exclusive discounts on the Xbox store. However, the shared subscription is limited to users residing in the same country or region. Initially available to Xbox Insiders in these two countries last month, Microsoft hints at expanding this feature to more countries over the coming months. In related news, Xbox is enhancing its cloud gaming capabilities, including a recent partnership with Samsung to stream games directly to TVs, as discussed by principal product manager Harrison Hoffman in a recent interview.
