You want to play the co-op shooter Wolfenstein Youngblood without purchasing the game? No problem. With the Buddy Pass, it’s possible.
What is special about Wolfenstein Youngblood? The latest installment of the well-known shooter series does not place you in the role of hero B.J. Blazkowicz this time. Instead, you play as his daughters, Jessica and Sophia.
So you experience the adventure always in pairs. Either in single-player with an AI companion or in multiplayer with a friend. The shooter could be the co-op hit of this summer.
Play together via Buddy Pass
Does everyone need to own a version of the game? No, that’s the beauty of it. Through the Buddy Pass, it is possible to invite a co-player who can simply join the game without needing to own a copy.
How do you get the Buddy Pass? The Buddy Pass is part of the Deluxe Edition of Wolfenstein Youngblood. If you get this version, the Buddy Pass will be included.
For which platforms is the Deluxe Edition available? Wolfenstein Youngblood will be released on July 26 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. There is a Deluxe Edition for all of these versions.
How does the Buddy Pass work? The one who purchased the Deluxe Edition of Wolfenstein Youngblood simply invites friends into their game. However, the corresponding friend must own the trial version of Youngblood and have already created a character. The partner then joins and you experience the shooter cooperatively.
Are there any restrictions? You can play through the entire game together. Also, it is possible to invite new friends again and again. However, you can only play in pairs at a time.
The one who is invited into the shooter does not receive any achievements or trophies.
No splitscreen, but that’s okay
Is splitscreen supported? No. Everyone plays on their own consoles or PC. It is not possible to experience the adventure together on one device.
How do players react to the Buddy Pass? Fans are very positive about the Buddy Pass. It allows playing Wolfenstein Youngblood in pairs without each needing to buy a version.
