Can i add my kid via another xbox, so that we can use 2 systems on one account?

MiCks023 · Apr 16, 2023

My son has my old Xbox one S.

The issue is that my account is active on that system (set as home xbox), so if both he and I want to play, one of us gets kicked out, due to the fact that you can't play 2 games on one account.

Is there a way that he can login via my wifes email, but still can use the progress he has on my account?

Any saved progress he made on your account cannot be transferred to another account. He would need an account of his own for you to both play at the same time.

We run 2 xboxes all the time, basically we have our front room xbox set as the home xbox for the account with gold. Any other child accounts and other adult silver accounts can play on this xbox with out the gold account being signed in. The backroom xbox
is setup for the gold account to log into, this xbox is not setup for any account as home. So the only account that can really use it is the one that has gold which is my account. So I can play in the backroom while the kids play in the front. So what we do
if both kids want to play on separate xboxes? I sign my gold account into the backroom and then allow one of the kids to also sign in. As long as the gold account is logged into the backroom both kids can play on either xbox. As for content it needs to be
bought and downloaded by the account that has gold for everyone to have access to it on the home xbox. Hope that kinda gives you a picture of how it works.

If you want to use a second console, you can add your Microsoft account to it and install whatever content you own ... some of it, all of it, none of it. Unfortunately, you cannot move content from one Microsoft account to another.

Are you not wanting your kids to have access to the content on your main account via Home Xbox, for example?

PS4 does not require each account to have a subscription, i know my son has the PS4 which i had to setup. One subscription for the entire gaming system.

My family plan expired this June and found out the plan was cancelled. My account auto-renewed but my kids can't access xbox live. I talked to tech support and they said a patch is out to make it so you can link the accounts. The patch should be pushed
to everyone by end of June 2014. I don't play xbox, personally have had one issue after another with it with my kids. So now I'm paying for an xbox live account that I will never use and only have so my kids can play, but they can't play until the patch
is pushed. Gotta love the genius behind this one. Both of my xboxs would be out the window if my kids didn't have friends that still use it.
