    2 xboxes 1 house


    I have read a few discussions on how to handle this situation but am still at little lost. I have 2 sons that played on our xbox one. The oldest got an xbox x and now i need to figure out how to set everthing up. They want to be able to play at the sametime
    and play each other on the same online game. How do we handle the xbox live? What about the games they have both invested info do they need to decide who gets the online game acct? I am a total novice so the more detailed the help the better. Thanks

    :)

    2 xbox consoles in 1 house

    Hiya! Unfortunately the gamertag will need to be recovered on each XBOX 360 each time you want to use it. What I have actually noticed is that when you use the new dashboard update to download your profile again it goes about 100x faster so the process is
    completed within seconds instead of it taking the usual 3-5 minutes that it used to. If you wanted to continue doing what you were doing you could just switch the profile to transfer to a USB storage device (USB Flash Drive) and it would continue the same
    way as it would when you switched the XBOX 360's hard drives.

    2 Xbox's, 1 house game sharing

    Hi! My name is Pam. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    Good question. You need to set the account with Xbox Live gold subscription on the new console that you will be getting as home Xbox. Your home Xbox lets you share games and content with other people who sign in to it with their profile.

    To set your account as Home Xbox, Please select System > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    But bear in mind that on your Xbox One S console, only the account with Xbox Live gold can use the subscription. On your new console where you will set the account as home Xbox, anyone who sign in to it with their profile can use it. You can check this too for reference https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

    Hi CliveArmstrong1

    When you say the Gold subscription is in your name, does that mean your son with One S is using your Xbox profile, or do they use there own?

    I'm saying this because if all of you have your own profiles, then I suspect you have set this console as your 'Home' so that anyone who uses it can get access to Gold. Even though you don't use it yourself.

    If you add another console to the mix, then things get complicated. They will still be able to use the One S (as this will still be your home console) but only you, as the subscription holder, will have access to Gold on the new console. Does that make sense?

    To resolve this, you would be better letting one of your sons get the subscription on their account, setting one of the consoles as 'Home', then they can use the new one. Or the other way round, it doesn't matter.

    More details on setting a 'Home' console can be found here:

    Yes. So, if your oldest son as the subscription, make sure he sets the youngest sons Xbox as his home console. Then your youngest son will be able to share his subscription and your oldest son can use his own console as normal.

    They will both will be able to access games on Game Pass, except EA Play games. This is limited to the subscription holder only. Also, your oldest son will be the only one that can access cloud gaming.

    If you purchase any games, make sure your oldest son does it on his account. Then if they both want to play it, just get your oldest son to download it on your youngest sons Xbox.
