An Xbox Game Pass family plan is on the way, reports say

Microsoft is expected to unveil a family option for Xbox Game Pass’ subscription service, according to reports.

Windows Central, citing trusted sources, reports that the new tier of Game Pass allows up to five people to use a single Game Pass subscription. This subscription would be under a single account holder, similar to Nintendo’s Family Plan for the Nintendo Switch’s online services, or plans available through Netflix and Disney Plus.

Windows Central states that the proposed plan would utilize Microsoft’s existing Family Account system, which is already in use for its suite of Office 365 services.

At this moment, details such as pricing and whether separate Family Plans will exist for Xbox Game Pass on the PC or console aren’t known.

Though it is currently unknown when this tier will be announced, Windows Central speculates that Microsoft will announce the news to the public sometime in the “relatively near future.”
