Adding two gold profiles to one Xbox 360

Dear all,

I have an Xbox 360 for my kids with one profile linked to my Microsoft account and with gold. I have one other profile not linked to a Microsoft account. I would like to add Gold to this account also. I would really appreciate some guidance on how to achieve
this.

Can I link this second profile to my existing Microsoft account and activate gold for two profiles in my account?

If not, and I have to open a second Microsoft account, can I do this with just one primary e-mail account which is all I have.

Many many thanks

:)

 

Gold on 360 and One

Hi all,

So the situation is this. My eldest had a 360 in his bedroom and younger two have one downstairs. Eldest has gold against his profile and one of my other lad has gold on his profile downstairs.

I'm buying Xbox one for Christmas to replace the 360 downstairs. I will put this against my profile and I've read that all profiles on the One can use the gold access. So far so good.

I've also read that this same live account running on the One can be used on another 360. So My question is, can my eldest son use my Xbox live gold on his 360 but against his gamer profile? I'm guessing not and to access live gold on his own profile he''ll need his own gold account?

Probably not described it very well but basically can we have just one gold account between a One and a 360 where only my eldest will use the360 with his own gamer profile.

Thanks!

 

1 Gold Account for the whole family

I don't have a 360 anymore, and don't have an Xbox One, but I would imagine that adding the account to console will automatically open up multiplayer to all users on the console.

 

You'll need to create a separate Microsoft account for the other tag if it does not already have one. Then go to the account and select Join Live and add the account. From there you'll be able to add the Gold membership.

 

Many thanks for your response, onyx62is. Do you know if I can have two Microsoft accounts from the same primary e-mail address?

 

No. Each account has to have a separate email.

 

Thanks, Smwutches. I shall set up another e-mail account that I just link to my primary. Much appreciated.
