Xbox Game Pass Could Get a Family Plan

According to reports, Xbox Game Pass will be expanding to include a Family Plan

The high value of Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass subscription has contributed to the service's meteoric rise in popularity since its inception. Members of the Xbox Game Pass receive access to a wide library of intriguing games for a modest monthly fee, which includes numerous Day One releases as well as first-party Xbox games. Many people have shrugged off the lack of certain crucial Xbox Game Pass features because of the relatively low cost of the service. One example is the Xbox Game Pass Family Plan, which is currently available, though this may be changing in the near future.

Plan options for families with numerous accounts are intended to be cost-effective solutions for those who have multiple accounts to use. A family plan allows users to pool their accounts together and earn a discount as a result of doing so, rather than paying the full amount for each individual account on their own. According to the source, the Xbox Game Pass Family Pass would allow for the inclusion of up to five unique accounts under a single subscription plan.

An Xbox Game Pass Family Plan will allow for up to five distinct accounts, according to current plans. If a basic subscription to either Xbox Game Pass on PC or Xbox Game Pass on console costs $9.99 per month, then five accounts would cost approximately $50 per month. A family plan, on the other hand, would be expected to cost more than half as much as that. For example, the Nintendo Switch Online plan, which allows for up to eight accounts and costs somewhat more than the individual plan, is slightly more expensive. 

The average monthly cost of an Xbox is between $13 and $14 per month, while this appears to be a very low estimate. Anyone asking whether a Group Savings Plan for an Xbox Game Pass Family Plan may be utilized by a group of friends to save money will find that the answer is a bit ambiguous. Friendship groups that are dispersed over numerous households are permitted under many family plans, including Nintendo's, with no limits. Xbox Game Pass, on the other hand, could be different, with restrictions on playing multiple games at the same time or something similar.
