JAKARTA - Microsoft has expanded the availability of subscription packages for the Xbox Game Pass Family to six additional countries in Chile, Hungary, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden.

"Starting today, Xbox players in Chile, Hungary, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden will be able to join a package that allows up to five friends and family members to share the benefits of the Ultimate Game Pass," Microsoft wrote in its announcement.

The company claims that this subscription package will make it easier for players to access or play the best Game Pass with friends and family on consoles, PCs, and clouds.

You can play simultaneously on multiple devices. With this package, you can add up to four people to your membership, with access to games, content, and benefits of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

However, there are some things to know about this package, where people who share membership with you should live in the same country as you.

If you join this package, then the remaining time in your extended membership will change to time in the new package, based on the value of the money from old membership. For example, Ultimate's full month will be converted into 18 membership days for this package.

It should be noted that this conversion is not available for invited group members. So, before joining the group, group members can cancel existing subscriptions or wait until the subscription expires.

If they don't have a Microsoft account, invited friends and family should create a new Microsoft account and sign in to participate.
