As Game Pass Ultimate starts to test out a new family plan in certain countries, a reputed Windows insider has leaked new branding on Twitter that suggests account owners will be able to share their Game Pass with friends as well as family members.

Those with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership might be able to upgrade themselves to a family plan that could mean a huge change is in the works, according to a tweet spotted by The Verge(opens in new tab).

Much like the features offered by Netflix and Amazon Prime, many Xbox Game Pass holders have been asking for a sharing function that would allow freeloading friends to join in the fun.

This new branding features the Xbox logo above the words «family and friends», which could mean that you will be able to share your games with people outside your household — something that Netflix clamped down on earlier this year when they tried to tackle Netflix password sharing.
