Microsoft is developing an Xbox Game Pass Family Plan.

At the moment, a Game Pass subscription in any of its flavors—PC Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass, or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate—is only valid for one person. Meanwhile, a Nintendo Switch Online family membership can be shared across eight accounts, even across consoles, and streaming services such as Netflix offer family plans as well. A Game Pass-like feature is a much-requested feature.

According to sources cited by Windows Central, Microsoft is "moving forward with an Xbox Game Pass Family Plan, which could launch later this year." According to reports, you will be able to share access to this premium family plan among up to five accounts within the same country, with the subscription handled and paid for by a single central account holder.

As Windows Central points out, there are still many unanswered questions. "Will there be separate Family Plans for PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass console, for example, or will everything be exclusive to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? Furthermore, as of this writing, the exact pricing is unknown "

Microsoft would be wise to supplement Game Pass at this time, given Sony's recent announcement of a reimagining of the PlayStation Plus subscription service. It's not such a good deal for us, given that its Premium tier, which includes access to a library of PC games via streaming, costs twice as much as a PS Now subscription. It would be a slam dunk if Microsoft swooped in with a more appealing version of Game Pass.

Weird West, Norco, and Tunic are recent additions to PC Game Pass. It would be an even better deal if you didn't have to use the Xbox app to manage them.
