Microsoft's game service, the Game Pass, which is available for the Xbox consoles and the PC, offers subscribers a huge game library that contains hundreds of different titles for all players.

Whether it's casual or hardcore, there is no doubt that everyone can find a game that will pass the time.

Now Xbox publishes a message on its official website that it plans to launch a "family account" soon, and just like on the Netflix platform, it will allow up to five players to simultaneously access the service from one account.

Currently the option is only open to players who are registered for Xbox Insider (a program where players can test new features for Microsoft before the official launch) tomorrow in limited countries such as Ireland or Colombia.

The price of the family account is also unknown to us yet, but it has been stated that it will give subscribers access to the Ultimate track, where the players also get access to the EA game library, together with the possibility to play on Xbox, on a computer and streaming through the cloud.

Microsoft has not yet announced the date for the full worldwide launch, but the post says that more details will be released later this year.
