    Can you play the same game on game pass on different devices when the sub is shared?


    Hello,

    I am planning on getting a Series S for my college dorm since I can't bring my pc. The objective being able to play the same games at the same time with a shared game pass ultimate on PC and Xbox with my sibling.

    From what I know the only way this works is if they have ultimate, sign into the console, set as primary. I log in, then the benefits are shared. They then load up game pass on my pc, logging into their account, and since they are the ones with ultimate,
    should have game pass for PC no problem. I take the console back to my dorm, and my account should be able to get game pass for xbox games.
    What im wondering is if that's my account being logged into game pass on the xbox, or if its their account. Because I want to be able to play the same games at the same time with them. And if its using the same account for both PC and xbox then that
    won't work.


    Id also want to eventually bring my PC back when I get a bigger dorm room next year, and I know for that, I would need to log into my siblings account on PC and they would need to log into mine on Xbox for that to work.

    :)

    can I share an Ultimate pass on 2 Samsung Smart Tv's?

    Hi,

    the Game pass is related to your account and you can download your profile on any Xbox around the world. But you are only allowed to play on one device at the same time.

    It is also possible to share your Game Pass sub with a family member on the second console, if that was the real reason for your question.

    Is it possible to share 1 gamepass subscription between 3 consoles in same household

    So really it's better to just buy 3 subscriptions
    No you would need only 2 cause 1 sub can be shared.

    Now the question is what version of game pass you need.

    If the kids own the games they want to play online 1 Game Pass Core sub would be enough for them cause they can share it.

    If you for example have a PC then you could take the PC Game pass.

    Both would cost only 1 $/€ more than a Game Pass Ultimate sub.

    But it depends on the devices you have and of how many games you want to play for free.

    Game Pass PC/children xbox accounts

    Hello, to share games you must be sharing your xbox console as home console. Everyone logged in on that console will share xbox live and any digital games download and some DLC when applable. Game pass ultimate can be shared also as long as the main account
    owner who purchased it has the console set to XBox home then it can be shared. Play anywhere games are games that can be played on console, pc and phone if avail. Start one place playing and put up where you left off on the available electronics. Only thing
    is PC and console are different when it comes to buying things. Pc game pass is not like XBox Game pass.

    Two Windows Phones and XBox Music Pass

    If you are using different Microsoft Accounts, its not possible to share one music pass, so you will have to buy a second.

    Xbox Music does allow up to three seperate devices to use a pass, as long as the devices are using the same Microsoft Account, so if you shared the same Microsoft Account, you could share one pass.

    My game library is not being properly shared with my family members! :(

    Oh, if this is the family game pass, it's different, but what you will be able to share is just the game pass library and not the games that you own. I'm sorry for that.

    As per the Xbox support site:

    "With the Friends & Family plan, all five members enjoy the benefits of Game Pass Ultimate, with their own unique access to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games, content, and benefits, regardless of what device they play on. All the people you invite can play at the same time—you can even play together in the same game. Plus, you can include friends and family outside your household."
