Microsoft May Take a Cue From Spotify With an Xbox Game Pass Family Plan

The Xbox Game Pass has only grown in popularity, and entire families are getting in on it. Because of this, Microsoft may offer a Spotify-style “family plan” for Game Pass users.

When Jeff Bins (@binnsy1138) used Twitter to ask Microsoft about a “family plan” for Game Pass, he actually got a response from head Xbox guru Phil Spencer.

We have. It's something we'd like to do. There is Home console feature for one console household but for multiple family members with consoles a family plan would help. Really appreciate the feedback.

Spencer was short and to the point, simply confirming that Microsoft wants to do something like this and has considered it before. He did not confirm that such a feature is coming but merely that the company is interested in implementing such a feature.

Many see the Game Pass model as the future of gaming. And all we can do at this point is cross our fingers that we get a family plan that can turn each game night into a family reunion!
