Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan Revealed Ahead of Official Announcement, Conversion Rates, FAQ Listed

While Microsoft has not made any official announcements just yet, it seems the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Plan has been outed ahead of time! Courtesy of the official Xbox Colombia website, details on it such as conversion rates and more have been answered.

The site still shows the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family page, though we’re unsure how long given the tweet connected to it has since been deleted. We’ve taken screenshots of the webpage itself just in case that happens.

Also revealed in the website is a handy FAQ! We’ve listed it below (after running through Google Translate).

Frequently asked questions


How does Friends & Family work?

There are two types of Friends and Family members: the primary account holder is responsible for payments and the only member capable of adding other users to the group subscription, while the primary member adds or removes secondary members from the group .

To become a primary account holder, you must join Friends and Family through the digital Microsoft Store. After you join, you can manage group members on the Services & Subscriptions page, and you can add as many seats as you like.

What countries/regions is Friends & Family available in?

We are currently piloting this plan in Colombia and the Republic of Ireland. Future countries or regions may be added in the coming months. In Colombia, the monthly price is COP 49,900. In Ireland, the monthly price is €21.99.

Can I share my subscription with people from anywhere in the world?

No, you can only share your subscription with people who live in your own country or region. If a member of the group changes their country or region of residence and her location no longer matches that of the primary account holder, she will be removed from the group.

Are there any other limitations I should be aware of?

Yes:

• You can only be a member of one group at a time.

• As the primary account holder, you can invite a maximum of four people at a time, with a maximum of eight people agreeing to join your account per year.

• Members of your group can only join a group up to twice a year. This includes leaving and rejoining the same group.

• Only the primary account holder can share their Game Pass benefits through home sharing. Group members cannot share with other accounts on your console.

If I have time left on my existing Game Pass or Gold subscription, what happens when I purchase the Game Pass Friends & Family plan?

After joining the Game Pass Friends & Family plan as the primary account holder, the remaining time from the previous plan will be automatically converted according to the following table. The conversion ratio is subject to change.
