That’s important since Game Pass’s growth has been slower than Microsoft hoped – I can’t imagine why, since it’s the best subscription service out there right now, even if you only have a PC. It’s a surefire way to boost subscriber numbers, and maybe even Xbox sales. Assuming this scheme is expanded to the rest of the world, you’d be paying about $5 for everything you’re currently paying three times that price for. So far, the scheme is still unavailable in the US but has been undergoing testing in Colombia and the Republic of Ireland since 2022. Under this scheme, every month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate would be converted into 18 days of Game Pass Friends and Family, with piecemeal tiers getting only 12 days of the same scheme per month. It’s possible that it will be succeeded by the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family scheme, which will allow subscribers to share a subscription with up to four friends or family members, though it’s limited to eight unique accounts over a calendar year.

Examples of digital game using this design technique are the DualShock 4 or the Xbox.

Without this hook, Microsoft will have to come up with an equally good pull for Game Pass, or risk losing potential customers for not just the subscription service, but Xbox in general. Rope, as a design technique, also does not lead to motion sickness.
