Is Xbox Game Pass Available in Vietnam? PC Only, and No PS Plus
Xbox sells PC Game Pass in Vietnam for 79,000 dong a month, but not Ultimate or cloud gaming, and Sony says PS Plus isn't available. Steam prices in dong.
Yes, but only on PC. Xbox sells PC Game Pass in Vietnam for 79,000 dong a month, and has done since April 2022. Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential are all listed as not supported, along with Xbox consoles and Xbox Cloud Gaming. PlayStation fares worse: Sony's Vietnamese site says PS Plus "is not currently available in this region". Here's what the official pages say as of 12 November, and what Steam charges in dong.
Is Xbox Game Pass available in Vietnam?
Partly. Vietnam is on Xbox's list of supported countries and regions, and its entry marks these as supported:
- PC Game Pass
- PC games from the Xbox store
- The Xbox app on Windows PC and on mobile
- Xbox accessories
Everything else is marked "Not supported": Game Pass Ultimate, Premium and Essential, Game Pass for Console, Xbox Cloud Gaming, the Xbox Series X and Series S, Xbox One, console games, Rewards with Xbox and the Xbox app on TVs.
PC Game Pass launched in Vietnam on 20 April 2022, alongside Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, after a preview that started in March. Xbox called it "a beginning for Xbox in Southeast Asia". The console plans haven't followed since, and Xbox hasn't announced any.
How much is PC Game Pass in Vietnam?
79,000 dong a month. Xbox's Vietnamese PC Game Pass page shows that price, and it also advertises a first 14 days for 24,900 dong before the monthly price applies. In the US, PC Game Pass costs $13.99 a month.
PC Game Pass includes 300+ PC games, new games on release day (Call of Duty excluded) and EA Play. It needs Windows 10 or 11 (version 22H2 or later) and the Xbox app.
Can you get Game Pass Ultimate in Vietnam?
Not officially. Ultimate isn't sold in Vietnam, and Xbox's support pages warn against the codes sold online instead. Xbox 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 market.
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". We don't cover workarounds: in Vietnam, PC Game Pass is the only plan Xbox supports. Indonesia and Egypt are in the same position, as we explained in our Game Pass Egypt guide.
Does Xbox Cloud Gaming work in Vietnam?
No. Xbox lists cloud gaming as not supported in Vietnam, on every plan, so there's no official way to stream Game Pass games to a phone or TV there.
Is PS Plus available in Vietnam?
No. PlayStation has a Vietnamese site, which shows the PS5 console and accessories, but its PS Plus page says "PlayStation Plus is not currently available in this region" and sends you back to the homepage. Sony hasn't published Vietnamese PS Plus prices or announced a launch.
That's a contrast with the rest of Southeast Asia: in the Philippines, PS Plus is sold officially, as we covered in our PS Plus Philippines guide.
Does Steam sell games in dong?
Yes. Steam's store lists prices in Vietnamese dong, set separately from the US dollar prices. Regular Steam prices in Vietnam on 12 November:
- Forza Horizon 5: 990,000 dong (US: $59.99)
- Baldur's Gate 3: 990,000 dong (US: $59.99)
- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: 1,630,000 dong (US: $69.99)
- Starfield: 999,000 dong (US: $49.99)
- Hades: 321,000 dong (US: $24.99)
- Stardew Valley: 165,000 dong (US: $14.99)
So on PC, a Vietnamese player can subscribe to PC Game Pass or buy on Steam in dong. On console, neither Xbox nor PlayStation offers an official subscription in Vietnam.
