So, if that’s the case, then could the Game Pass Family Plan launch at $22.99? Or will it be closer to $50? Or more? We really won’t know until the service fully launches, but until then, it’s at least good to know that it’s on the way.- The claim and redemption window for this promotion has ended. Typically, family plans are only around 50% more expensive than a single plan, with things like Apple Music costing $9.99 for one $14.99 for a family of five, and Spotify mimicking that pricing structure. Really, how much added value the plan will offer will be determined by the price Microsoft launches Xbox Game Pass Family at. Something else that we’re not 100% sure on yet is whether this will only be for Game Pass Ultimate, or if it’ll be shared with Game Pass as well, leaving us to wonder exactly what tiers this will be available for. There are no specifics on pricing yet, but we do know that it will cost “far less” than purchasing five separate accounts, which currently would cost $75 per month…which is quite astronomical all things considered. The new subscription tier will reportedly allow for up to five accounts to be under one subscription through Microsoft’s existing Family Sharing system that’s currently being used with Microsoft 365. And, of course, you can always just purchase two subscriptions, but who likes doing that? Another choice is using the Home Xbox trick that allows you to be logged into two consoles at once to “game share,” though that isn’t without its quirks. Of course, sharing an account is possible but not generally ideal as saved games are also tied to the account and can’t be migrated. Right now, there are few choices for sharing your Game Pass/Ultimate subscription. This is a service update that has been rumored (and desired) for quite some time. Gamers rejoice! You won’t have to share Game Pass accounts for much longerĪccording to Windows Central, internal word at Microsoft is that Xbox is moving forward with a Game Pass Family Plan that’s set to launch sometime this year if all goes as planned.
