  1. Can I share Xbox live ultimate with my family’s Xbox accounts?


    I have 2 children and both have an Xbox, both want to play online with friends but I don’t want to pay for a subscription each, I have tried subscribing on my main account but it does not allow them to also use it. They both need to have their own user name so they can play simultaneously and with their own friends. Can I get round this? And if so how?

    :)

    Multi player is not working with game share.. I can download the games of game pass but just no live multi player... making me crazy I don't understand the ussue

    Hello InkBoxTatto,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

    I'm so sorry for what you're going through yes, multiplayer may not work with shared play.

    Game sharing is a feature that allows members of a family to share their games and subscriptions with other family members. However, live multiplayer is not included in the shared game.

    To play live multiplayer, the family member signing into the game must have an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

    In this case, the person sharing games with you may not have an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. If so, you will not be able to play live multiplayer.

    To check if the person you're sharing games with has an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, you can ask them to go to Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

    If the person you're sharing games with has an active Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, but you still can't play live multiplayer, there may be another issue.

    These are basic solutions to these problems, but they can lead to a solution, remember that this is a public forum where we are players like you who want to help, good luck and happy day.

    Sincerely,
    Marvina.

    GamePass not showing on family and friends account

    Why doesn't family sharing work on PC with my Ultimate subscription? My son can use our family Ultimate on his Xbox but not on PC.

    Gamepass sharing multiplayer limitations for Family accounts?

    It’s the Ultimate version

    I should say that my son has his own account/Xbox gamer tag.

    I’m sharing the Ultimate pass with him as a family member.

    Can one share Game Pass Ultimate with family member across regions?

    I think on your Xbox you would need his account (that with Game Pass Ultimate) and that Xbox has to be configured as "home" console. Then all accounts on that console can share gold/ultimate.

    HOWEVER, if he has purchased his subscription in a different region you may run into issues. On the other hand I traveled with my Xbox to a different region and it worked fine and I logged into my Xbox account on an Xbox in a different region and it all worked fine for the content that was available for that region.

    I am not sure how this translate to playing on a PC. Because now there is no "home console" and I am not aware you can declare a "home PC" in that way to share subscriptions.

    Also, the Microsoft family settings are different from setting a console as "home" - ALL accounts on that console share the gold/ultimate regardless of being part of the family or not.
