In a new FAQ, the company states that the transition will occur as early as August 27, and that each of a family's individual memberships will inherit the remaining Gold time on their Gold Family Pack account.
In addition, each new individual membership will be granted a bonus three months.
The transition follows the announcement that a single Xbox Live Gold account can be used by an entire household on Xbox One.
The new system, called 'Home Gold', allows the subscriber to designate a 'home' Xbox One with unviersal Gold privileges, meaning any Xbox Live account on that system can benefit from your Gold status.
When Live Gold Family Packs are transitioned, access to activity monitoring reports and Microsoft Points allowances will be disabled.
Microsoft will begin the Xbox Live Marketplace's transition from Microsoft Points to real-world currencies in 'late 2013', the company has confirmed.
