Xbox Friends & Family Plan may be about to launch in the U.S.

Word is that the Xbox Friends & Family Plan may be poised to finally come to the United States and other territories. Apparently ads for the Xbox Friends & Family Plan have appeared on the Xbox PC app’s home screen, as reported by Game Pass Counter over on Twitter as well as others.

The Friends & Family plan has started to be advertised in the US via the PC Xbox app!

This could signal an imminent launch, and with the rumored Xbox Showcase on the 25th, I'd expect news there!

As you may recall, the Xbox Friends & Family Game Pass tier launched back in September last year in Columbia and Ireland. The Xbox Friends & Family Plan allows up to five individual users—each with their own account and gamer profile—access to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate under one membership, whether they are under the same roof or not. And all for a discounted price relative to having separate Game Pass memberships.

It seems likely that this could be announced during the upcoming Xbox and Bethesda Developer_Direct showcase event, which will be broadcast on January 25th.
