Can I use Xbox gold on 2 consoles?

LumpyBubbles7 · Nov 26, 2019

hi i have an xbox one and have a gold live account, a couple of months ago we bought our son his own xbox one which came with gold and gamepass for 3 months, my question is when his free gold live ends, do we need to buy him his own gold pass? Or can i share
my one with him.

thanks for any help given.

Hi!

Yes, you can share the subscription between two family consoles. Follow the
instructions below.

Yes you can. You just need to add you account to his console and set his xbox as your accounts home console. He will then be able to play on his own account online and you can also play online as long as you are signed in on your account on your xbox.

Hi there,

since both consoles are in the same household you can use the consoles in the following way.

If your account (With Gold and/or gamepass) has set (or sets) a console as it's Home console then all other profiles on that console can benefit from Gold features (or Game pass), your account can use Gold etc on any console.

So if your son will play on the console which you have set on your Home console, he will be able to use the Gold benefits (and game pass) and you can play and use Gold features on any other console.

Because your post is in Xbox One support forum I suppose that we are talking about Xbox One and "HOME GOLD" service.

HOME GOLD means that if you set your Xbox One console HOME CONSOLE and you have Xbox Live GOLD, then everyone who using that Xbox One console have access to GOLD services.

If they move to another console, then they need Xbox Live Gold to continue to use Xbox Live GOLD. If new console does not have set up as HOME CONSOLE from someone who have Xbox Live GOLD or someone with GOLD have not logged in.

EXAMPLE: If you have two XBOX ONE consoles. Make one of them as HOME CONSOLE. And let your children log in. Then log in with your GOLD account on other Xbox One console and you can play with your children who are using HOME CONSOLE same time. That way you
still can use 2 consoles with only one Xbox Live GOLD.

IF you have 3 Xbox ONE consoles, then you need at least 2 Xbox Live GOLD members to use them all same time.
