For me though? Setting up an Xbox Game Pass Family Plan has been a bit of a social nightmare. Signing up your siblings or friends will be a great way to reconnect. In theory.įor some people (currently those living in Ireland, like me, or Colombia), this will most certainly work. But the idea of being able to say, “Hey, I am going to send you an invite to this thing that will give you access to hundreds of games and we can play online together whenever, and all you have to do is pay me a fiver next time we meet”? In theory that sounds like the perfect way to reignite my social life smothered by years of pandemic living. I couldn’t count the number of times I have tried to organise game time with friends that own consoles but aren’t capital-G Gamers, only for it to fall through because one of them didn’t have Xbox Live or the game. Not only does it mean that those friend groups can come together for a discounted price, but it extends Xbox’s reach to a much wider audience: the non-gamer friends. That is why a Game Pass Family Plan sounds so stellar. Instead, if my friends and I have Game Pass, not only is yet another bit of game night preplanning removed, but if one of us hates Back 4 Blood, hey, at least they didn't spend €70 on it. I no longer have to buy a full priced game that might have support cut in less than a year, or that I’m only going to play once a week when I can coordinate my friends to be online. The number of communities I know that already organise game nights just by looking at what’s on Game Pass is wild. Related: Game Pass, Netflix, And The Curse Of Having Too Much Choice
