Best way to manage multiple Xbox Series S and a PC without multiple subscriptions

Soupladel · Dec 12, 2022

So, I have a gaming PC and a Series S currently and game pass ultimate subscription.

The series S was bought for my kids, but like typical siblings, they fight constantly and the last few months the series s has been confiscated. I am getting them another Series S for xmas but it dawned on me that i am going to come up against issues when the kids want to play on separate xboxes at the same time.

I know there is a Friends and Family plan in the pipeline, but it isnt available widely (outside Ireland and Colombia). Is there a way i can allow both xboxes to have access to the games on the gamepass without having to buy a subscription for each of the kids accounts?

For example, if they both want to play Minecraft at the same time on different xboxes, can that be done?

Currently, they can make use of the subscription on the original series s provided my account is signed in, but i would imagine they wont be able to do that on both consoles?

Hi,Soupladel! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

Yes, we can use the "home xbox" feature for that. We only need to use 1 main account to buy everything with. After that we will take that account to the remaining xbox and set it to home xbox

Withe the main account on the remaining Xbox:

Press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

Do either of the following to change the status of your console:

To make this your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.

This will automatically share the games and suscriptions bought on the main account with the second Xbox

Is there a way to send a friend request to an xbox one user from the PC/Web?

I am in a gaming group and want to send requests to multiple people, it is easier to manage via the web.
