    My daughter would like to play sea of thieves, and I have xbox game pass which grants me access to play sea of thieves on Xbox, but I bought sea of thieves on steam some time before and my personal account has progress on that xbox login but being played on PC. When I added her as a family member account to my xbox profile, and she logs into the xbox there, it let her make a new pirate, but in doing so, it s logs out my PC game session.

    Here are my questions, as I can't be the only PC /Consol player who owns games they also get free on Game pass.

    Does XBOX game pass have to be on on her account exclusively?

    Do I have to remove my own Microsoft account from the xbox?

    Will buying the game a second time (not ideal as I already pay for game pass) for the xbox fix the problem or is it because her account is a family linked account?

    How can I make sure if I buy her the game it links to her xbox account and not the one I already play on PC(and already own)?

    :)

    Do Xbox game pass games not supply a second access for family members to play games (cross platform along side) with games you already own on PC?

    its a pain.

    I own sea of thieves, on xbox and therefore pc too, if i tried letting my son play my copy on his pc via windows store with his own account it would load, then i load mine up and then the licence conflict appears and kicks both of us off.

    i got my son gamepass pc for his account which solved the issue.

    gamepass games generally cannot be shared to other accounts on pc.

    but they can on xbox consoles.

    if any of this makes sense.

    Game share

    You must have Game Pass Ultimate or a series of Xbox One Play Everywhere, you family member must sign in the Microsoft Store with your Microsoft Account to access this games.

    Family shared games and live membership

    Yes, it is actually a feature available right now! On Xbox One, go to Settings>Account>Family Settings>Manage Family Members and add all of your loved ones! The same can be performed on PC through your settings.

    This feature will share Gold and Game Pass so if you ever by chance have Game Pass Ultimate and you have a capable gaming PC as well, you can play any game that supports cross play between Xbox and PC such as Sea of Thieves with family and friends.

    Enjoy!

    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."

    Minecraft Cross-Play

    For Cross-Platform access, you will need to do the following:

    Xbox One: You will need to make sure that you are set up and signed in on the console. Then go to Settings
    > Account > Family Settings > Manage family members. Select your account, and then Privacy and Online Safety > Xbox Live Privacy > View
    details and customize > Communication and multiplayer. Under You can play with people outside Xbox Live,
    change "Block" to "Allow". This will allow any game with cross-play – Minecraft, Fortnite and the like – to connect you to others on a non-Xbox platform.
