    Xbox Family Pass


    I wanted to pass on an idea presented by @FearTheCowboy while I was helping out at @XboxSupport.

    Times have changed where once there was only one Xbox in a house and if there was more than we had DVDs to pass around. Xbox currently can have a different "Home" box (up to 5 times per year) plus one designated "friend". With the prices of superseded consoles
    becoming very affordable, households now have, like PCs and TVs often a console for each room/person.

    Would people be willing to pay/subscribe an additional amount for a "Family Pass", where consoles & PCs on a local network could use up to let's say 5 more consoles and PCs a la the Office 365 model? I would think that is a good model because it works for a
    suite of products with a higher fee for more products.

    Of course, we have streaming to PC's via the Xbox app, but unfortunately, the performance does not meet the standards for intense gameplay due to lag and quality, even on a home network.

    One would think that since a model exists, it would be easier to implement. It would meet a need especially as prices come down for the current consoles when the Xbox Series X comes out this "Holiday Season 2020". For @FearTheCowboy the need became apparent
    due to possible city-wide quarantine, where gaming at home by the whole family will provide some sanity and a way to reach out to friends via gaming. Buying additional copies of the same game is just not affordable, nor makes sense.

    What do you think? How much would you be willing to pay and for how many additional seats?

    An aside note, I wish we still had a UserVoice site. This would be perfect for that.

    :)

    Xbox Live Gold access on single 'home' Xbox Series S for family member

    From what I understand Games Pass isn't a sharable thing, and because Xbox Gold has come with Games Pass it also mustn't be shareable, because of this, Microsoft is rumoured to be bringing out a family plan for Games Pass so it can be shared with family members.

    Exclusive: Microsoft is moving ahead with an Xbox Game Pass Family Plan | Windows Central

    Hopefully this will be officially announced soon as I think a lot of families out there would make use of it.
