  1. Do I need Xbox Live Gold on 2nd console?


    Hi there,

    Sorry for noob question, but need to be 100% sure before I spend more money.

    I have 2 consoles: Xbox1 and Xbox1X. We'd like to play Don't Starve Together on both. My account is the main one with Gold Subscription, so let's say I play on Xbox1X with my wife. Can my daughters play on Xbox1 with us right now, or at least one of them
    need Gold as well to join the game?

    I hope someone can clarify this for me.

    Thanks

    :)

  2. Do you need to purchase a 2nd xbox live account for a 2nd system?

    My oldest son has an xbox one and a Gold membership. My 2nd son has an xbox 360 on a 2nd tv. Do I need to purchase a 2nd xbox live subscription for my 2nd son, or can he use the same account and Gold membership as my oldest? Thanks!

  3. 2 players Campaign mode/versus/horde doesn't work when playing Gears of War 2 Backwards Compatibility Mode?

    I can't figure out how to get a 2nd local player to join me on Co-op campaign mode, versus or horde mode? When I try and add the 2nd user on the 2nd controller it only gives me the options to have a an "Xbox live guest" where i would need a 2nd xbox
    live account. It seems i can't add a local profile. I even added a guest to my Xbox live account via the Xbox One menu but when i try and do it on the backwards compatibility for the game it does work. I'm able to do it on Gears of War 3 but Gears of War
    2. The only thing i can think of is I don't have Xbox live gold. Has anyone else had this problem?

    XBOX LIVE 2ND ACCOUNT

    Hiya Dread7,

    I recommend to create a 2nd account (will not have the saves or game time the other account has) and set the first account (the account that has Xbox Live Gold) as the
    home console to share the Xbox live gold. (You wouldn't have to buy a 2nd gold)

    GameShare allows an account to share all of its console from one account to another.

    1. The account that owns gold set it as the home on the 2nd console.

    2. Keep the account that owns gold on the first account to play.

    3. Create a second account and sign in on the 2nd console.

    Hope this helps.

    Family Pack

    I'm not sure what you mean? If you plan on only getting and using 1 Xbox One console then you should be fine with paying for only 1 Xbox LIVE Gold Membership. Anyone that wants to use your console with their own gamertag will not need to pay for Xbox LIVE
    Gold to get online. This is only for that 1 console. If you wish to purchase a 2nd Xbox One console then you'd need to get that console a gold membership as well so anyone can play on that console.

    I hope that makes more sense, if not, I'll try to clarify some more for you.

    How can I get the best XBox access for my Family

    Anything they purchased on their accounts should be accessible as long as they are signed into Live on any console. In order for them to access the gold/games purchased on your account, they would need to use your Home console. In order for them to share
    the games they bought on their account with you or your other son, they would need to set a console as their Home and the 2nd son would have to use that console.

    There is no longer a family gold pass. You don't necessary need Gold on every account. Your son's can use gold as long as their using your Home console, but if they need to use gold on the non-Home console, gold would need to be purchased on at least 1 of
    their accounts and that account set the 2nd console as their Home.

    3 xbox ones - 5 in the family - how many gold and copies of games do I need?

    Depending on how many people use each console, you need at least 2 sub's and 2 of each game. 1 account with the gold sub and games would make 1 console their Home and then everyone can use the gold and games on that console. The 2nd gold account would do
    the same on a 2nd console. Both of the gold accounts could still use everything on the 3rd console since e gold and games would still be tied to their accounts. If the other remaining accounts had to use the 3rd console, you'd need 3 of everything.
