No. Xbox Game Pass is not officially available in Pakistan. Microsoft's list of Xbox supported countries and regions doesn't include Pakistan as of 9 November, so there's no official sign-up or price in rupees. Here's what the list covers and what Xbox says about codes bought abroad.

Is Xbox Game Pass available in Pakistan?

Not officially. Xbox publishes one list of the countries and regions where its products and services are supported, and it doesn't include Pakistan, for Game Pass or for anything else. Xbox says that if your country isn't there, you should "check back" because it expands its services frequently, but it has announced nothing for Pakistan.

Pakistan wasn't in the 2023 expansion either: when PC Game Pass reached 40 new countries, Xbox's list didn't name it.

Which nearby countries are on the list?

India is, along with the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Nigeria and Kenya aren't.

The list is for Xbox services in general, and each country has its own page showing which products are supported, so check yours before paying.

How much is Game Pass in Pakistan?

There's no Pakistani price, because Xbox doesn't sell it there. For reference, Xbox's US site listed these monthly prices on 9 November:

  • Essential: $9.99
  • Premium: $14.99
  • Ultimate: $22.99
  • PC Game Pass: $13.99

Ultimate fell from $29.99 on 21 April, and PC Game Pass from $16.49. Xbox says prices may vary by region, so don't convert these to rupees and treat them as an offer. You can see what's currently in the library in our November Game Pass roundup.

Can you buy a Game Pass code online from Pakistan?

Xbox warns against relying 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".

Xbox says a code from the wrong region produces an error saying it isn't redeemable, and that you have to go back to the seller for a replacement or refund, with policies that vary by retailer. It specifically mentions "third-party online resellers who advertise lower-priced codes than retail value". Xbox gift cards are limited too: a card only spends in the marketplace of its currency.

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

Does Xbox Cloud Gaming work in Pakistan?

Not officially, since cloud gaming is part of the same list. In November 2025, Xbox said Cloud Gaming was available in 29 countries, in an announcement that named India, Brazil and Argentina but not Pakistan. From this month, Xbox is also adding monthly cloud-hour limits to its plans (15 on Ultimate, 10 on Premium, 5 on Essential), and says available hours and options may vary by market.

Is there an official option for games in Pakistan?

Steam is the clearest. Valve's pricing documentation groups Pakistan with Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka as South Asian countries that have a recommended discounted US dollar price, so publishers can price games lower there. It's a recommendation to developers and not a guarantee for every game.

For the same question on PlayStation in another Asian market, see whether PS Plus is available in the Philippines.

Sony doesn't sell PS Plus in Pakistan either: see our PS Plus Pakistan guide.
