Can I play my Xbox when my kids play at the same time?

alandyer173 · Jan 16, 2022

My daughters have my old Xbox one S, I have a series S they can't play games that I have bought for them (downloaded) when we had 1 machine unless they sign into my account on that machine which kicks me out if I'm playing on my machine, both xboxs are linked to my account because I have gamepass ultimate and they play some games that are on gamepass. Is there a way they can play they're games that I payed for on my account with out it affecting my game(s) when I'm playing and vice versa?

Or is there a way to gift the games I have bought already to my oldest daughter so they can play when I play without anyone being kicked out?

Hello, I´m Jamie. an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you.

Have you set your account as 'My home' on their Xbox?

As that should allow them to play your games on their accounts without you signed into your account on there and then you should be able to play your games on your account on another Xbox.

thanks

make sure they have their own accounts and create a family so you can use parental controls.

set their xbox ans your home xbox and then any account on that console can use online, gamepass games and any games you own.

remember to set a pin on your account so they cannot access yours.

but remember that your console you will need to have an internet connection to play.

Yes, but this can be only done with two consoles, it won't work with more.

Keep in mind that this is only allowed within the same household.

Please, make sure to set the account that has the subscription as the Home Console of the person who does not have it.

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

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

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

I hope this helps.

Yes, this is possible. As long as you use your account (where the games were purchased) on Xbox 1 and Xbox 2, you will set your account as Home Xbox, and then a different profile will play on Xbox 2.

Just make sure to sign out on Xbox 2 once you set it as Home Xbox so you and the other profile will be able to play at the same time.

Thanks for keeping us informed.

OK let us say: Adult1 has bought ultimate and set the XBOX A as a MY XBOX HOME - than every kid login in the XBOX A can play and use the ultimate at XBOX A. If a kid would play at same time at XBOX B than Adult1 has to be Login at XBOX B while the
kid is playing (with his owne login) at the XBOX B.
