    2 Xbox Ones in the same house


    I have 2 Xbox one consoles. I created a gamer profile for my son thinking it would allow us to use both Xboxes at the same time. Even though he has his own profile we cannot play separate games at the same time. We can play a game on one console while watching Youtube on the other but cannot play different games at the same time even though they are both physical discs and different games. Do we need to each have separate Xbox live accounts for this to work. Got nowhere with support on this issue.

    :)

    2 Xbox One's in the same house

    Hi there,

    If you want them to play on the other console, they will need an account. You can either create accounts for them, which when added to your family you will be able to manage the content they can see/play as well as set time limits for the console, or they
    will have to play as a guest on the console.

    These pages have a lot of good information on setting up a
    child account
    and adding them to
    your family
    .

    If you keep the original Xbox One as your account's
    home console
    they won't need a paid Live membership. They will be able share your Live subscription as well as your purchased games while on the home console. More on that can be found

    here
    .

    console A. your console has games installed and you have an active subscription, make sure you are always connected to the internet.

    console B. your sons, add his account, add your account, sign into your account and make console B your home console, then sign out. now your son has access to your games and shares your subscription benefits. (remember to set a passcode for your account so your son cannot access it.

    your son will need his own account.

    2 Xbox in same house

    Hi, Kev975! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    I'll happily guide you through getting your games and subscriptions on the bedroom console. For practical purposes, I'll refer to living room Xbox as Xbox #1 and bedroom Xbox as Xbox #2.

    -------------

    Designating a console as your Home Xbox allows other accounts to access your games and subscriptions when you are not signed in. It also allows you to access your digital games while the console is offline. Unless you plan on having friends/family use one of these consoles or you want to access your digital games while the console is not connected to the Internet, you don't need to designate a console as Home Xbox.

    To be able to access your digital games and subscriptions on the new console, all you need to do is sign in with the account you used to purchase them. Your subscriptions will be ready to be used and your digital games will be available for installation at My Games & Apps > Full Library > Owned Games.

    -------------

    Regarding your Xbox 360 games; the license needed to play these games is embedded in their discs, so you don't need a specific account to use them. Physical games can just be inserted in the console, installed, and accessed by any account so long as the disc remains inside the console.

    To transfer these games to your new console, you can either insert each disc and reinstall them or do a network transfer.

    To do a network transfer:

    - On console #1, go to Settings > System > Backup and transfer
    - Check the box for "Allow Network Transfers"
    - On Console #2, go to Settings > System > Backup and transfer.
    - Select Xbox #1 as the console you'll be copying from, choose the games you want to copy, then select "Copy Selected.

    -------------

    Regarding your saved data for games; if console #1 has been constantly connected to the Internet and the Xbox Network, your saved data for all accounts should be backed up on the cloud. This data will sync with Xbox #2 every time you launch a game for the first time on it.

    Every time you finish playing a game on either of these consoles its cloud-saved data will be updated automatically, which will allow you to switch consoles and continue playing where you left off.

    * It is my personal suggestion that you allow a few minutes from the moment you finish playing one console to the moment you resume on the other one to ensure your data is correctly uploaded to the cloud.

    -------------

    To designate a console as Home Xbox:

    - Turn on the console that will be used by friends/family, or for offline gaming.
    - Sign in with the account you used to purchase your games and subscriptions.
    - Go to Settings > General > Personalization > My Home Xbox > Make this my home Xbox.

    You can find more information on the Home Xbox feature at:

    Please let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.
    Best regards.
