Microsoft begins testing family plan for Xbox Game Pass

The family plan may be closer to reaching Game Pass. Microsoft has started testing and has given Insiders in Colombia and Ireland the option to split the bill with up to four friends or family. Users invited by the user have access to all content offered by the service at no additional cost.

Despite the novelty, there is still no forecast of the plan’s arrival in Brazil or other countries. To participate in the tests, users need to be part of the Insider program and subscribe to the Game Pass Preview at Microsoft Store.

Once enrollment is complete, you can convert your individual account to the family plan and invite up to four friends via email. Values ​​have not yet been announced, but according to Microsoft, 1 month of Ultimate subscription is converted into 18 days on the new plan.
