Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft's subscription service for games.

Xbox Game Pass gets Friends and Family pricing in certain countries

Following a leak earlier this week, Microsoft has officially revealed its Friends & Family plan for Xbox Game Pass. It’s an upgrade on existing plans which allows users to share a single Game Pass plan for multiple accounts and consoles.

The new plan will allow the primary account holder — the one who pays the bill — to add up to four other players to their account. The only restriction is that the other users need to be within the same country. The friends and family can access and play games on their own consoles. Up to now, the only way to allow other users access to their plan is if they were signed in on their own consoles.
