Does Xcloud work at benefits sharing?

danthon12 · Nov 8, 2021

My friend has ultimate gamepass, and we share it, so I both we can play lots of games. but just he can play at Xbox Cloud gaming. Mine just doesn't work. After clicking "play" or "run game", like in the 1st picture:

(it is in portuguese, the green button says: "play", or "to play"), my screen turns into black color, and recharge the page, like when pressing f5 at the browser and I still at the Xcloud games, page. How do I solve it?

You don't share benefits with home console

And home console only applies to consoles

So therefore any other device must use the purchasing account

First, welcome to the Xbox community. Xcloud can only be used by the person who pays for the ultimate game pass, the main account that in this case is given to your friend, cloud gaming is seen as a benefit in the service that can only be used by one person.

*Thank you in advance for contacting.

Cloud gaming only works for one user at a time.

I understand streaming games (Xcloud) is not yet available for the console, only selected insiders to have access at the moment.

If you share the account with your friend, this could be the problem, as only the person who is the subscriber will be able to use xcloud as it is a benefit only for them.

With the Home setting, Game Pass itself doesn't share, Only games and the benefit of playing online from Gold/Game Pass Ultimate share. Other benefits are only available to the account that purchases the subscription can access that. If you're not that account, you can't use Xcloud.

They are currently testing a family subscription.
