One of the possibilities offered by Nintendo Switch Online is to pay a family subscription so that up to eight people can have access to the online multiplayer of Nintendo Switch and a series of other advantages. It is seen that this same idea is what is haunting Microsoft and it seems that it is planning to implement it in Xbox Game Pass, as the Windows Central portal has stated.
As is also the case on platforms such as Netflix or Disney +, the purpose of the family plan would be that up to five people would pay for a single subscription and in exchange they would have access to the entire library of Xbox Game Pass games. Naturally the price to pay would be considerably less compared to the fact that each one joined the service separately.
Among the details to be taken into account, it is indicated that users must be from the same country to play with a single subscription that would be controlled by one person, while the rest would be granted access to the same benefits, as is also the case with Netflix. If it ends up coming true, it would be sometime in 2022 when the family plan would be activated.
What Windows Central does not know is if this family plan would be only for consoles, there will be another for PC or on the contrary it would be destined only for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Likewise, he does not know what the exact price would be, but what he is clear about is that it will be cheaper than paying for several individual subscriptions.
E3 2022 could have been a perfect setting for an announcement of this caliber. However, in the last few hours this year’s edition has been cancelled, so It will be time to wait for Microsoft to hold an event on its own in which we cross our fingers that you get to confirm all this information.
