Game Pass is Microsoft’s weapon in this generation. This service allows you to play a large catalog of games by paying a monthly subscription. Like any subscription, some share their accounts with others. Microsoft understood this and it works in a new proposal in line with this use.
Today, a leak gives us the name of this new subscription. It would simply be called: Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family. The Aggiornamenti Lumia account, which even shared an image, caused a stir.
Xbox Game Pass bets on sharing with this subscription
This subscription is already known, several testing phases have already taken place in Ireland or Colombia. The name is very evocative, Since Microsoft won’t restrict users to family sharing only, as in Office. So the idea would be to let a few people of their choice (up to four) play the games in the catalog and this at the same time, for a single subscription. The price should logically be a little more expensive than a classic subscription, which costs 12.99 euros per month in the Ultimate version, but advantageous for multi-use.
Currently, Microsoft has not commented on the leak, and information on this new offering is scarce. we don’t know Not the price that the Redmond firm is targeting, for example, even the release date. The start of testing may suggest a release before the end of the year, but nothing has been finalized yet.
Anyway, Microsoft continues Betting too much on Game Pass, An awesome weapon in console wars. With its rich catalog and strong upcoming exceptions (Starfield to name a few), the company aims to attract more and more players. The advantage of not just betting on the console also makes it possible to avoid some of the painful worries faced by Sony, which has had to raise the price of the PS5.
