Sharing would be available at the end of the year
After the first reports of Jez Corden evoking in particular the arrival of this ” Family pass for the end of the year, it is today Brad Sams who confirms this launch period.
The family Game Pass plan I heard about would aim for a fall release, around winter break this year. Keep in mind that a lot of things change, a lot of things move over time. That was the original goal, we’ll see if it happens
We have for the moment only few details concerning this hypothetical subscription intended for families. What we do know is that it should allow access to Xbox Game Pass to 5 people within the same household for a reduced price. Note that we are talking here about a new and above all “legal” method, different from the account sharing that we know from the Xbox One.
At the same time, Brad Sams mentioned as recently as a fusion du Xbox Live Gold et du Xbox Game Pass was considered. The goal would be to combine these two services in a single subscription at €15 per month.
Microsoft still has time to think about the evolution of its various offers and it goes without saying that we should be entitled to an official communication on the subject during the events planned for this summer.
