Update: Bad news! Everything seems to indicate that we will still have to wait to have the Xbox Game Pass family plan in the United States. Turns out it was all a misunderstanding.
Yes, the option to contract Xbox Game Pass appeared to a user in the United States. The point is that it is a subject who changed his region account to New Zealand, a country where the family plan is already available. Thus, there is nothing new and the information we present corresponds to the service in New Zealand, not the United States.
We regret any hype that has been raised by this note.
Nota original
Since last year we know that Xbox is planning a family for Xbox Game Pass, its subscription service that gives you access to hundreds of games. If you are one of those who is waiting for it, you will be happy to know that it made its surprise debut in the United States.
What happens is that different Xbox users discovered that the Xbox Game Pass family plan is now available in the United States. Apparently, the main menu of Xbox Series X | S and Xbox One was ahead of the official announcement, since it is the only place where the announcement appears.
In case you missed it: Microsoft confirms that there will be no more Xbox Game Pass at $10 MXN
The Xbox Game Pass Family Plan is offered for $39.95 USD ($722.44 MXN at current exchange rates) and gives you access to 5 Xbox Game Pass Ultimate accounts. This means that for each account you will be paying $7.99 USD ($144 MXN) instead of the $14.99 USD ($299 MXN) that it normally costs.
I’m guessing Xbox Gamepass – Friends and Family just quietly launched in the US?

Since Microsoft has not given more information about it, we imagine that the Xbox menu was ahead of the announcement. It is likely that tomorrow morning we will have more details about it and we will know if it will only arrive in the United States or if we will also see the Xbox Game Pass family plan in other regions, such as Mexico.
We remind you that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the highest subscription level that Xbox Game Pass offers. This level of service allows you to get all the benefits of Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming and EA Play. This means that you have access to a lot of games for Xbox and PC, as well as the possibility of playing in the cloud and being able to enjoy the entire EA Play catalog.
