2 xboxes, 1 live membership, 4 kids accounts

bretotto · Jun 23, 2020

I had 1 Xbox, lets call it Xbox1 and have 4 kids that play on it. We bought another Xbox, lets call it Xbox2, in hopes of the kids sharing gaming as 4 player games are become more rarer. My account holds the live membership and game pass. When I setup
the Xboxes, I setup our old one, Xbox1, as the "home" Xbox. Any of the kids can play any of the games on the "home" Xbox1...PROBLEM IS...that when I divide the kids up and put 2 on the new xbox2, my account HAS to be logged in for them to play. I have a
problem with this as I wanted 2 Xboxes for the kids to play and I don't want my account logged into the Xbox as it hold the purchasing power and settings for the consoles. Hopefully I typed this out in an understandable way. IN A NUTSHELL...is there a way
to setup both Xboxes so that multiple accounts can utilize the live and game access without my adult account being logged in on the Xboxes?

You could cancel the Gold membership (or let it run out) on your parent account, and have one kid that usually plays on Xbox 2 give a new Gold membership.

Then have that "Gold kid" set the Xbox 1 as their Home Console, while they play on Xbox 2.

That way your account (that isn't Gold anymore) doesn't have to be signed in on the "non-Home Console", and as the "Gold kid" is playin on Xbox 2 anyways, they will share Gold to that console, as long as they are signed in on that console, while the Home
Console sharing keeps Xbox 1 golden for everyone.

I think Microsoft need to bring a family subscription for larger family's. It was handy . 👍

unfortunately you will need to be signed in on the Xbox that isnt the Home Xbox.

what you can do is have your account auto sign in and set up a Pass Key for purchases to prevent unauthorised or accidental purchases

well not really if you read the faq

you do not get 4 codes or 4 1 year memberships

if you use 1 or 2 or3 or 4 accounts you only get 1 1year membership per purchase

4gamertags will have 1 year of membership not including credited time if there was preexisting gold membership when the family plan was created as long as they are in the family plan

not 4 1 year memberships

Hi!

1 - Yes, I'm living in Brazil.

2 - No.

3 - None of the conditions that prevent account migration are applicable in my case.

4 - My XBOX Gold membership is a regular membership with recurring payment (30 days).

Thanks. Waiting for my account to be migrated to Brazil.
