No. Xbox Game Pass is not officially available in Bangladesh. Bangladesh isn't on Xbox's list of supported countries and regions as of 10 November, so there's no official sign-up and no price in taka. PlayStation Plus isn't sold there either. Here's what the official pages say, what Game Pass costs next door in India, and the one big platform that does price games for Bangladesh.

Is Xbox Game Pass available in Bangladesh?

Not officially. Xbox keeps a single page listing the countries and regions where its products and services are supported, from consoles and the Xbox app to every Game Pass plan and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Bangladesh isn't on it. Neither are its neighbours Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar, nor Pakistan, which we covered in our Game Pass Pakistan guide. India is.

Xbox says that if your country isn't listed you should "check back with us soon", because it expands its services frequently. It hasn't announced anything for Bangladesh. It's the same answer for Game Pass in Nigeria, while Egypt gets PC Game Pass only.

How much is Game Pass in Bangladesh?

There's no Bangladeshi price, because Xbox doesn't sell it there. The nearest official price list is India's. Xbox's Indian site listed these monthly prices on 10 November:

  • Essential: ₹499
  • Premium: ₹699
  • Ultimate: ₹1,089
  • PC Game Pass: ₹879

Those prices are for Indian accounts, not an option for Bangladesh. Xbox's support pages say your account needs "a valid billing address and payment option that match your locale", and that a mismatch between your account region and where you are can trigger a "region block" error when you buy.

Do cheap Game Pass codes work in Bangladesh?

Xbox warns against counting on them. Its support page says Game Pass subscription cards "are only redeemable in the country or region purchased and cannot be redeemed in any other country or region", so that pricing reflects each local economy.

Xbox recommends buying a card from the country you live in, and says that includes "third-party online resellers who advertise lower-priced codes than retail value". A code from the wrong region gives an error saying it isn't redeemable, and Xbox sends you back to the seller for a replacement or refund, under that seller's own policy. Xbox gift cards are limited too: a card only spends in the marketplace of its currency, so a US card only works in the US store.

We don't cover workarounds. Xbox offers no supported way to subscribe from Bangladesh.

Does Xbox Cloud Gaming work in Bangladesh?

Not officially: cloud gaming is on the same country list. It's also changing this month. Xbox said in September that from November, Game Pass plans include a monthly allowance of cloud playtime (15 hours on Ultimate, 10 on Premium, 5 on Essential), and that players will be able to buy extra hours, or buy cloud time without a subscription to stream games they own. Xbox says available hours and purchase options "may vary by market", and Bangladesh isn't one of its markets.

Is PS Plus available in Bangladesh?

Not officially either. Bangladesh isn't among the countries and regions in PlayStation's own table of PlayStation Network account languages, and PlayStation has no Bangladeshi website in its country selector. India is on both. The Philippines has a PlayStation website but no PS Plus, as we explain in our PS Plus Philippines guide.

Is there an official option for games in Bangladesh?

Steam. Valve's pricing documentation says it recommends "a discounted USD price for several South Asian countries where we don't have local pricing": Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Publishers choose whether to use it, and many do, including Microsoft's own studios. Here's what Steam charged in Bangladesh on 10 November, none of them on sale:

  • Forza Horizon 5: $32.78 (US: $59.99)
  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: $42.99 (US: $69.99)
  • Starfield: $34.99 (US: $49.99)
  • Hades: $8.49 (US: $24.99)
  • Stardew Valley: $6.99 (US: $14.99)
  • Halo: The Master Chief Collection: $39.99 (US: $39.99)

The last one shows the catch: the regional price is a recommendation to developers, not a rule, so check each game's store page before you count on a discount.
