    Can I retain gold games after ending my gold membership and have a family member go gold?


    I've been a gold member for a while and have a bunch of free games … except I now want to end my gold membership and have my son activated instead. Will we still see the free games from my account after he is enabled for gold, or will all be lost? Is there
    a better way to get around this?

    :)

    Thank you so much. My subscription ends in another month, and it makes sense that my son takes over since he uses it more than me. I appreciate everyone's response.

    My son is a family member and is using the same xbox one ( as we only have one console ) - so does that mean if I cancel my gold subscription and start his … we can still access the free games with gold that I had access to?

    Thank you for your explanation.

    Unfortunately if you want to play your games you've received through Games with Gold, you will need to continue your Gold Subscription as that is the only way to access them without actually buying them. Once your Gold subscription has halted you won't
    be able to play them until you restart your subscription

    You could always just change your gamertag to something your son would want and just gift him the account. You could then start a free account on the same console for yourself and keep access to the games

    This might circumvent parental controls the parent has set up for the kid and make the kid a full grown adult that can't be controlled or restricted on the Xbox anymore.

    Also, the kid will then have control over the Microsoft account, meaning the kid can access the parent emails, OneDrive storage and anything else associated with the account.

    So do NOT do that.
