It was earlier this month that Microsoft announced that it was testing another iteration of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate but the details provided were pretty vague. The test was being conducted in Ireland and Columbia and it would allow users to share their membership with other users termed Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family. The alleged logo for this service was discovered by the Twitter user @ALumia_Italia, who’s known for scraping the Xbox Backend.
Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family Being Tested in Ireland and Colombia
The service will be known as Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family when it officially launches. It’s currently only available through the Xbox Game Pass Insider Preview that allows users in Ireland and Columbia to add up to four people to their subscription and the users will all get to experience the full benefits of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate
“add up to four people to [their] subscription, all with their own unique access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games, content, and benefits,”
While players that are added to the subscription don’t exactly need to become a part of the Insider program, they still need to be present in the same country as the Insider that adds them to their subscription service. This pretty much limits the trial to Ireland and Colombia for now.

But it seems that this service will be a whole lot more expensive than the comparatively cheaper Xbox Game Pass ultimate when it comes out for the entire Xbox Community in the future.
“Joining the Game Pass Insider Preview will convert the time remaining on your membership to time in the new plan, based upon the monetary value of the old membership,” – Xbox Blog
“For example, a full month of Ultimate will be converted to 18 days of membership for this plan. This way you won’t lose any of the remaining value on your existing subscription upon conversion. Conversion is final, and users must wait for their new membership to expire before returning to a previous membership.” – Xbox Blog
If this calculation is to be replicated that is if the plan finally rolls out for all users, this could bring up the price of the Friends and Family Iteration of the “Family Plan” to 25 dollars a month in contrast to the 15 dollars per month for Game Pass Ultimate.
