What is confirmed?

QuestionStatus

Does Xbox online multiplayer require Game Pass?Yes — the Xbox store page notes console online multiplayer requires a Game Pass subscription tier. Official.

Why does this confuse people?

The Xbox store page mentions Game Pass because console online multiplayer requires a subscription tier on Xbox. Seeing “Game Pass” on the store page leads many players to assume the game is included in Game Pass. Those are separate facts: one is a platform requirement for online play, the other is about the game being in the subscription catalog.

What does this mean for you?

  • Game Pass subscriber on Xbox: unless the game is later added to the catalog, you still buy AFE2 for $49.99 — and you need your subscription tier for online co-op.
  • PC players (Steam/Epic): no Game Pass involved at all; buy and play online.
  • PS5 players: the PS5 store lists 1 player plus up to 4 online players; check PlayStation’s online play requirements for your region.

If AFE2 is officially added to the Game Pass catalog, this page will be updated immediately — watch the updates hub.
