The increases are hard to criticize, given that they are only going up to the price of the competing system, and we all know how bad inflation has been over the past few years. Their costs have no doubt increased too.

Any word on a family version of Game Pass in the U.S.? We will start sending MS more money every month as soon as they launch that. Due to cost and principal, I'm not going buy a Game Pass subscription for every kid in my house, each having their own Xbox. It's like MS assumes that there's only one Xbox per household and effectively punishes good customers who have more than 1 (need a subscription per kid for them to play games together). A Family Game Pass would fix that. I'd sign up instantly.

Family Plan is in testing (and said testing was expanded to a couple of other countries in the last couple of months) but beyond that, still nothing. I certainly hope we learn more soon, it makes sense to push that hard for this holiday once Starfield + Forza Motorsport launch.
