    Playing Fortnite on 2 Xboxes in same house with family account


    I have an Xbox S and and Xbox One.

    My daughter wants to play Fortnite with me but the only way that happens is if I play on the older Xbox one and she plays on the newer XBox S.

    If she tries to play on the older Xbox One while I am playing on the XBox S it won’t let her. It says the account holder must be signed in, which kicks me out of the new XBox.

    This does not happen the other way around.

    How do I fix this?

    :)

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    This may mean that your daughter does not have the license for the game which is not an issue since it's a free game. Kindly ask your daughter to launch Microsoft Store App using her account and then search "Fortnite", then click "Get".

    After that, perform a powercycle and you shouldn't be able to have any issues.

    POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    ​​​

    "1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​"

    Multiple Xboxes on the same network sharing games.

    This is the same situation we have. It is something that will have to be addressed as I know several families with 2 Xboxes getting a third this Christmas. We are at a time when kids and parents play games and to make it worse, most games do not have
    local multiplayer anymore. That leaves you with needing multiple Xboxes in the house for kids to play the same games.

    Two in the house can be worked around, but 3 doesn't work, even when everyone logged in is on the same family account in a house on the same IP address.. Hopefully this will get fixed.

    playing from different locations but with the same account

    Thank you for you quick reply! The game he likes to play is Fortnite.

    One last thing...So if he has the xbox console at my house than he can have a PC with windows 10 at his dads house and play Fortnite using the same account without taking the xbox console with him? /LT

    Post on your other Gold!

    If you have 2 or more in a house, a family account (4 gts) to my understanding is about the same price as 2

    Wait a minute, you mean we can’t play 2 sessions of fortnite on two different xboxs in the same house at the same time without a second feed? We have wired and wireless connections available.
