3 Consoles, 1 xbox live account, 3 players

DGrant69 · Mar 29, 2020

I have a scenario:

Xbox A: Xbox one X, designated "HOME"

Xbox B: Xbox One S

Xbox C: Xbox One S- All digital version

(All consoles in one house, one network)

Player 1 - Xbox live gold account holder

Player 2 - Subaccount under Player 1, unique gamertag

Player 3 - Subaccount under player 1, unique gamertag

Want to play a multiplayer game, Plants versus Zombies, Battle of Neighborville on all three machines.

I own one digital copy of the game.

Currently:

Player 1 plays on Xbox C

Players 2 & 3 play on Xbox A in split screen.

WHAT DO I NEED, what's the best way to play on all three machines, the most economical way possible?

Hi Grant,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have a question on running multiple consoles. Unfortunately, the only thing you area able to do is set up

home console. This will allow two to play on different machines. For the third one you would need another copy of the game and Xbox live gold.

Thanks,

Brad

You need at least 2 for 3 consoles. Unfortunately there is no family plan for Live.

For exampled, you have accounts 1, 2, and 3 and consoles 1, 2, and 3

Account 1 purchases Live and sets console 2 as their Home. Account 1 can then sign in and play online on console 1. Account 2 can then sign on and play console 2 without needing to purchase Live. Then account 3 purchases Live and can play on console 3.

hi i will try to help you as best i can then

You have 2 console 3 account

Account 1 (with subscription)
Account 2
Account 3

Console A
Console B

Account 1 that owns the subscription will classify console B as the primary one from that all accounts on console B will have access to the subscription

which means that account 2 or 3 on console B will have xbox live and all

in return Account 1 will be the only one able to use the xbox live on console A

If you want account 2 and 3 to play together, you will need one of the two subscribers

The free months of xbox live gold on each new console only apply to newly created accounts. 1 per new account for up to 3 accounts.

Unless there's a code in the box for the 3 months it means that you get 3 x 1 month free XBOX Live memberships with every new XBOX 360. You need to actually make a new XBOX Live account on the console and go through the steps of making an XBOX Live account.
Once you do, it will offer you a free 1 month gold membership. Remember that this is only done by making an account on the console. If you've already made an account you would need to re-make the account with another e-mail from the console itself.
