Microsoft tests family subscription for Game Pass
The Game Pass will soon become even more attractive. Tests are currently underway for a family subscription.
Among the subscription services for games, there is hardly a better offer than the Game Pass for PC and Xbox. Now Microsoft has confirmed rumours from March that Game Pass will be expanded to include a family subscription.
A small circle of Xbox insiders in Colombia and Ireland are now allowed to test the new offer. This will allow the benefits of Game Pass Ultimate to be shared with up to four additional people. The Ultimate version is currently the most expensive offer, making Game Pass available on PC and in the cloud in addition to Xbox. It is not known how much the family subscription will cost.
To take part in the test, qualified Xbox Insiders must purchase the "Xbox Game Pass - Insider Preview" subscription in the Microsoft Store. Friends and family members who are invited do not have to be Xbox Insiders, but must be in the same country as the subscription holder.
Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
