Microsoft's cloud game subscription service XBOX Game Pass will introduce 'family sharing' service. On August 4 (local time), Microsoft announced that it will be conducting this 'experiment' for some regions through its official blog.
The target areas are Colombia and Ireland, and only the participants of the Xbox Insider program. 'Xbox Insider' refers to a consumer group that uses Xbox-related services under development and provides feedback.
Except for the main account, up to four accounts can be recognized as 'family accounts'. They can independently access all games, content and other benefits in the game pass ultimate service. In other words, there is no difference between the use of a single account and the service.
However, as it is still in the experimental stage, the composition of the product at the time of the actual release may be different. Microsoft announced, The contents of the Xbox Insider can be changed in the future.
Meanwhile, the subscription fee for the family plan is still wrapped in the veil. In addition to accessing limited participants, Microsoft did not clearly disclose the subscription fee. Overseas users have speculated. Currently, the hypothesis is that the price will be set at about $ 24.99 (about 32,400 won).
There are two major evidence. First of all, the reliable American game journalist, Jets Coden, who has leaked a large number of industry information, made this claim. He said on his Twitter, If the game pass family sharing is released in the United States, the subscription fee is $ 24.99.
In addition, Microsoft's service upgrade method also supports this speculation. According to today's announcement, when the existing 'Game Pass Ultimate' subscription date is left for 30 days, the residual service date is not abandoned and will be converted to 18 days.
However, the monthly subscription fee for the game Pass Ultimate is $ 14.99. Divided $ 14.99 into 18 days to guess the daily fee of the family sharing service, and multiplying it 30 days, it is about $ 24.9, which is about $ 24.9. If this guess is true, assuming to join five people will be able to use the service for about $ 5 per month (about 6,500 won).
