Based on a new advertisement that's been spotted, though, it looks like Microsoft could be gearing up to launch the new Game Pass tier soon. Microsoft confirmed that it's been testing a new Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family plan back in August 2022, but since then, the company hasn't given fans an official release date to look forward to. It's unclear if there are restrictions on which types of accounts you can add to your plan, but we know that they had to be registered in the same country as yours back when Microsoft was testing it in August 2022.Each account will also be usable to play at the same time. According to the ad, the plan will cost $39.95/month (this may be in New Zealand Dollars if so, USD equivalent is expected to be about $25) and will give each attached account an individual gamertag, game history, achievements, and cloud saves.There's no official release date for the plan, but New Zealand users have spotted an ad for it on their Xbox Dashboard that suggests Microsoft could be launching it soon.Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family is an upcoming tier of Microsoft's Game Pass service that will allow up to five accounts to enjoy the benefits of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
