Can I still play online if I’m being game shared by someone who has game pass core

Game sharing outside your household is against the terms of use, and can get you suspended or banned for doing it.

Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Core) is required to play online in most games. If you've never had a subscription yourself, it's likely someone else has used your console and set it as their Home console so you would be able to play online using their subscription.

If he has Game Pass Core, that would be the same thing (Gold was discontinued a few months ago and Core has replaced it).

If he has standard Game Pass for console, he can still use the card. It will give him the ability to play online.

If he has Game Pass Ultimate, he can redeem the code and it will be converted to 4 months of Ultimate.

Gold was discontinued and replaced with Game Pass Core. You still need Game Pass Core or Game Pass Ultimate (which includes Core) to be able to play online.

Hello again plmreldritch,

Yes, the only option in this case is to purchase the game from Console 3 with your son's account and at least a Game Pass Core subscription so he can play online. If that account is only intended for playing purchased games online and not the Game Pass catalog, then it's better to just buy Game Pass Core since it's cheaper.

If the games you want to play are part of the Game Pass catalog, keep in mind that Game Pass Core has a more limited game catalog, as you can see in the following link by selecting "Game Pass Core" in the filters:

https://www.xbox.com/xbox-game-pass/games

If the games you want to play are not in that catalog, then the most feasible option is to buy Game Pass Ultimate, which includes the complete Game Pass game catalog and also includes Game Pass Core, allowing you to play online.

And answering your last question, yes, you can share your account subscription with your daughter on Console 2, while your son on Console 3 has his own subscription.

I hope this helps and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,
Gerardo.
