Offering dozens of games and benefits to its subscribers every month, Xbox Game Pass is undoubtedly one of Microsoft’s most successful products. The platform continues to grow, preparing to welcome the EA Play library – whose debut has just been postponed – and much of Bethesda productions, thanks to the recent acquisition of Zenimax Media.

The evolution of the service also passes through the subscription methods. According to the latest statements by Phil Spencer , Xbox boss, Game Pass may soon offer a plan dedicated to the family , which will allow more users to use the service on demand.

Xbox Game Pass: a family plan for multi-account access

Xbox Game Pass currently offers three different types of subscriptions: a Console plan and a PC, both offered at approximately 10 euro per month, and finally that Ultimate – considered by Microsoft to be the “best offer” – supplementing the Xbox Live Gold subscription, future access to EA Play titles and, most importantly, the ability to play in cloud mode.

Coming soon, a fourth option could join the current Game Pass proposals. Phil Spencer himself, head of the Xbox division, suggests it, answering a question from a user on Twitter: “Have you ever considered a Family per Game plan Pass? “.

We have. It’s something we’d like to do. There is Home console feature for one console household but for multiple family members with consoles a family plan would help. Really appreciate the feedback.

Spencer confirms that his team has actually evaluated a similar option, which, we recall, is already offered by other on demand services – such as the aforementioned Spotify and Apple Music .

The Xbox boss also reminds us that a console user can share their Game Pass subscription with another family member, thanks to the Home feature. In this case, however, sharing is limited to two users: the solution can be a Family plan, which would extend this limit to four or more players belonging to the same household.

Of course, we are talking about a simple comment by Phil Spencer and we are still far from an official confirmation. Microsoft has however shown that it wants to invest in its on-demand service, so let’s expect new announcements in view of the 2021 – year which, among other things, will feature the new Xbox Series X and Series S , recently landed on market.
