At the end of 2020, Phil Spencer (the boss of the Xbox division) had confided that his teams were exploring this track without saying more about the subject which, a few weeks ago, came back to the carpet via Jez Corden of Windows Central. Indeed, the guy assured that the Xbox Game Pass Family would be launched by the end of the year. Today, it is the turn of journalist Brad Sams of Thurrott to go in the same direction as his colleague: Microsoft would have every intention of pressing the button next fall. However, he adds that this was the initial timing and that things may have changed since then.
Few details have filtered with these rumors, but the idea would be logical that one and the same household can benefit from five different accounts. It will be interesting to know how much you will have to pay to benefit from the offer, knowing that the operation will necessarily be less expensive than if you took out five separate subscriptions. Maybe Microsoft will take advantage of the window usually dedicated to E3 – which will therefore not take place this year – to refer to the Family option of the Xbox Game Pass in a more official way. We will keep you informed, of course.
