    2 Xbox Ones, 2 people, 1 Live Gold account?


    My wife and I currently have 2 Xbox Ones, and we eave have our own Live Gold account. Hers is about to expire, and I'm wondering if we can just utilize Gold Sharing. If I understand correctly, the following is true:

    1. If I set the living room Xbox One as my Home Xbox, she can play online on that Xbox at any time.

    2. If I'm playing on the Xbox One upstairs, she can still play down in the living room (at the same time as me.)

    3. Any games I purchase, she can play on the living room Xbox.

    So my questions are: Can she play any digital games I buy on the upstairs Xbox? If she wants to game online upstairs, can I switch that one to my home Xbox? Is there any other advantages/disadvantages I'm missing?

    :)

    New Concern for Home Gold

    You would need 1 gold account for every 2 Xbox Ones. Or in you example, you'd need 2 gold accounts for 3 Xbox Ones. The 3rd system that the silver account was using would have to be the Home console.

    gold account for xbone and multiple console homes.

    As it's constructed, you'll need 1 gold account for every 2 Xbox Ones in your home.

  4. 2 Xbox Ones, 2 people, 1 Live Gold account?

    Hi in reply to your question Yes you could share gold with her but your account would have to be on her xbox and your account would have to be signed in to share xbox live. With setting the home xbox's yes you both would be able to share games if both of
    you have each other xbox's set as home. You only can game share 3 times a year though.

    If you have any more questions or are a little confused here is a link on how gold sharing and game sharing works.

    Hi,

    I would like to confirm what Brad just said above. account 1(which has live gold subscription) sets up xbox#1 as the home console. and account 2 is set up as the main account for xbox#2 but the home console is xbox#1. if account 1 is signed in on xbox
    #2 and account 2 is signed in on xbox #1. will xbox #1 will be able to have access to live gold? I hope I explained my question well enough.

    Can someone get me up to speed on Home Gold?

    Home Gold is basically Gold servce for the one console. If you have one console with a gold account tied to it, then any account on that particualr console can get on Xbox live. But ONLY from that particular console. If you want to be able to have 4 people
    on at once, then you would have to have 2 Xbones, with 2 gold accounts, playing 2 player split screen with the non gold accounts.

    .

    If you want 4 people on at the same exact time on different console, you will need 4 consoles, and 4 Gold accounts.

    Xbox Live Gold - Multiple Accounts (subscription issue)

    Based on what you described earlier, Account 1 owns all the content. So, with that in consideration:

    Anyone who signs into Xbox #1 can play any content that Account 1 owns and use its Gold subscription, even if Account 1 is signed in elsewhere.

    When Account 1 is signed into Xbox #2, anyone can play that content or use that subscription, but if Account 1 signs into another console, even Xbox #1, that access on Xbox #2 is lost.

    If Account 2 wants to be able to access Xbox Live Gold features, it will either need to (1) sign into Xbox #1 or (2) have its own Gold subscription on Xbox #2.

    for some reason i need another gold membership

    Ok first to explain it

    Lets call the primary account account 1 with gold and games and dlc

    And the second account account 2 that wants to play coop etc whatever

    Console 1 is the home console

    And console 2 is visiting console

    Console 1 Account 1 makes console 1 home and both account 1 -2 can use dlc and gamea and gold on console.1

    On console 2

    Account 1 must sign into live to use dlc and games at all times

    Account 2 does NOT have gold on console 2 as ita on console 1 you have a limit of 10 switches per year gamepass isnt shared only the gold part of ultimate is with one gold only one can be roaming

    Keep in mind an profile can only signed in on one place at a time so there Must be two profiles for them to play together
