Xbox News Update: Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family news. Xbox beats PS5 in console sales again. New Xbox Updates leaked! Did Amazon leak a new Xbox Series controller?
“Xbox Game Pass ‘Friends & Family’ leak suggests you can share with friends. A leak of potential branding for Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Game Pass family subscription suggests you’ll be able to share a subscription with friends, too. Microsoft started testing its Xbox Game Pass family plan in Ireland and Colombia earlier this month, and now Twitter leaker Aggiornamenti Lumia has spotted “Game Pass Friends & Family” branding. The leak could mean Microsoft isn’t thinking about restricting Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to sharing their benefits with just immediate family members. The current preview allows Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers to pay €21.99 per month in Ireland (instead of the regular €12.99 per month) for an unnamed test plan that includes sharing subscription benefits with up to four others. Microsoft doesn’t currently mention a family restriction in its test plan, only that people need to be in the same country.”

“Amazon Leaks Release Date for New Xbox Controller. While its existence has previously leaked online, it seems the white version of the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 is going to release as early as next month. According to a since-deleted Amazon listing that was spotted by Tom Warren of The Verge, the white Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 will apparently launch on Wednesday, September 21. Xbox has not announced the controller in an official capacity, so fans should take the listing with a grain of salt, but it seems legitimate. Presumably, the white version of the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 will be functionally the same as the black version with the same price tag, but those details have not been revealed just yet.”
