As part of a test that started yesterday, affected users can invite up to four other players to enjoy all the benefits of an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, namely access to the game catalog, discounts, or Xbox cloud gaming again. A notable detail is that guest users must reside in the same country as the host responsible for the subscription (hence Ireland or Colombia), but it’s unclear whether this restriction will still apply beyond the beta phase.
While waiting for Microsoft’s official press release, it’s already certain that Family Mode will naturally cost more than a classic Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, as will Nintendo Switch Online.In Ireland, a one-month family Xbox Game Pass EUR 21.99 A month of Ultimate Solo costs €12.99.
This additional fee will be calculated automatically for current subscribers who choose a family plan. “For example, a full month of Ultimate will convert to an 18-day membership to the new plan“, can we read it on Xbox Wire? It also states that members of the Xbox All Access program cannot participate in this group formula.
