  1. Sharing Xbox games with a pass, can it be more than 2 consoles? Newbie needs help :(


    Right so, total newbie here. Partner has Xbox with live pass, shared with our daughters Xbox. I’ve found his old Xbox and would like to play some games. Questions, if I create my own Xbox sign in ( that’s a Microsoft account??) sign in and pay my own game pass can I still use games that were originally on that Xbox? Or have I got to start from scratch? I don’t want to buy games only to find out I can use the ones on there. Or do I reset the whole Xbox and start from beginning and buy everything myself?

    Xbox live

    My wife and I share a subscription because I game way more than her. What we do is share gold on my home Xbox(hers) and have hers set to my home Xbox to allow this. Then I dont need to be signed into her Xbox for her to play online. Do the same, just need
    a second account.

    Great choice on game your kids made.
    We dont need 2 copies of the game, we can both consoles working with the game at the same time. I think I will get the ultimate pass, and 1 additional live pass.

    can use at the same time

    Only one can use Xbox Game Pass. You can however share the games that are on Xbox Game Pass with someone else using the Home Xbox setting on the console.

    Bear in mind this feature can only be used in the same household if there is more than one console in it. Sharing games to other users in other households is against the terms of use, and can get you suspended or banned for doing it.

    Rainbow Six Bonus Content

    Ubisoft recently corrected an issue that allowed more content than intended being shared on Xbox. Players can share Year Pass operators with profiles on the same console.

    It keeps asking me to buy game pass on my home xbox even though on my other xbox I can play online.

    Game Pass can only be shared on one Xbox console at a time. Whichever account that has purchased Game Pass needs to set a console as it's Home console in order to share the subscription to that console.

    How do i play online with a account that doesn’t have gamepass

    Hi AJ! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm afraid it is not possible to play online without either of these 2 subscriptions: Xbox Game Pass Core or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate unless there is an account with an active subscription that is game sharing/set as home Xbox on your console.

    Based on your description, an account with an Xbox Game Pass subscription is set as home Xbox (subscription sharing) on your console however you are still unable to play online, is that correct?

    If yes, this could mean that the account with the subscription that is set as home Xbox might have its subscription expired already or that the active subscription is neither Core nor Ultimate.

    You need to contact the owner of that account if it still has an active subscription by confirming it on account.microsoft.com > services and subscription.

    You may also check these links for more information regarding these 2 subscriptions:

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl
