Can I play online with family members using my PC Game Pass subscription?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Scribe42, if they are two PC and want to play against each other each account must have an individual subscription in the account, on the PC it is not possible to share account as it does between two Xbox consoles, even if you put accounts in the family.

I apologize for any frustration this may have caused. The reason why the Ultimate Game Pass cannot be shared with family on PC is because it is designed to be a single-user subscription. However, you can create a family group and add family members to it, and then purchase separate Game Pass subscriptions for each family member. This will allow each family member to have their own Game Pass subscription and access to the games on their own devices. I hope this helps!

However that is limited to perks and seperate PCs

You can sign in with the subscribed accounrlt in the xbox store and download said games but cloud is a subscriber perk only

The friends and family test.plan has been paused for now with a "possible" future release

The EA Play subscription is part of the Game Pass Ultimate and PC subscription.

You can also subscribe to it alone.

To play the games you just have to download them from the store.

If you intend to use online play, you will need a Game Pass subscription.

Thanks for your reply. They are both linked into my Microsoft account as family members. However, I cannot see where on my game pass ultimate subscription, where I can add a family member.

Hi there,

What I would recommend would be to set the Xbox as your home by following the steps here: Designate a home Xbox. Then you create
a child account and add family members on the Xbox. There is a lot of information about

Family and responsible gaming in that link.

Getting game pass ultimate is a good idea as include both game pass and Xbox live in one subscription. You can customize the settings of your son's account here

Change your child’s Xbox privacy and online safety settings.

As Game Pass ultimate includes can be used for Xbox and PC you can play in your PC too while your son plays on the Xbox, but as many have said already, Minecraft is not included in Game pass for PC.
