An Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription called Friends & Family was rolled out in Colombia and Ireland last year. It’s basically a way to share one subscription with up to four other people living in your country so that everyone gets the games and benefits offered with Game Pass Ultimate.
Now Microsoft has announced that six new countries will be able to join the cheaper way to get Game Pass, but it is not exactly the biggest markets that will get the opportunity; Chile, Hungary, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa and Sweden.
Friends & Family is about double the price of a regular Game Pass Ultimate subscription, so as long as there are at least three people (so it supports up to five) sharing it’s a pretty good saving each month. We assume it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the Xbox markets get this capability as well.
