I couldn’t count the number of times I have tried to organise game time with friends that own consoles but aren’t capital-G Gamers, only for it to fall through because one of them didn’t have Xbox Live or the game. Not only does it mean that those friend groups can come together for a discounted price, but it extends Xbox’s reach to a much wider audience: the non-gamer friends. That is why a Game Pass Family Plan sounds so stellar. Instead, if my friends and I have Game Pass, not only is yet another bit of game night preplanning removed, but if one of us hates Back 4 Blood, hey, at least they didn't spend €70 on it. I no longer have to buy a full priced game that might have support cut in less than a year, or that I’m only going to play once a week when I can coordinate my friends to be online. The number of communities I know that already organise game nights just by looking at what’s on Game Pass is wild. Related: Game Pass, Netflix, And The Curse Of Having Too Much Choice
