Can I share an Xbox live subscription across my three children, on 3 Xboxes?

BenHarness · Jan 6, 2023

My 3 children have an Xbox each, and a usertag each.

We previously had 2 consoles, and all 3 kids could share Xbox live across the 2 consoles, and play simultaneously.

But now it appears that we CANNOT share the Xbox live subscription across all three user tags on 3 Xboxes., if they want to all play at once. We have tried setting the new console as Home console, and setting permissions, but to no avail.

Does anyone know if 3 usertags across 3 Xboxes, sharing an Xbox live subscription and playing at the same time, is possible? It's the same house, same family etc.

Thanks in advance

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

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello BenHarness, account sharing only allows between two consoles.

More information on the link below.

You mean one console

The second non home console would be the one the subscriber signs into

@op only the subscriber can roam

You will just have to get another subscription and the subscribers will have to sign into the 3 rd console.and only the two subscribers can sign in on the 3rd console

No console has family plans and home console o ly applies to one console

My three children each have xbox one. Can they share live and gold or does it have to be purchases per device?

The home xbox is meant to share the xbox live benefits/game library with anyone using the xbox that is set as home. IE) If I set my xbox as my home, anyone else that logs into the box can play xbox live/my games.

For three consoles you would need to pay for 2 subscriptions (1 can be shared using the home feature and 1 to cover the third person).

Set one of the children's xbox as your home xbox so they gain access to your game library/xbox live access
Purchase a subscription for the other childs xbox so they can gain access to xbox live (however they will not have access to your game library only games they have been purchased through their account).

Profiles that have a subscription attached directly to them can log into
any xbox (no matter if it is set as home or not) and have access to live + any games they've purchased on their account.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions, my husband and I share games by using the
home feature on two consoles.

that if possible, maybe not by ip, but an account can share gold and gamepass with others without the need to buy 3, I recommend that you have a main one with which you buy the games and subscriptions that that account shares to the xbox from which your
children play
