    EA Access - shared multiplayer access on Xbox One with Live subscription


    I asked a question in the EA Forums regarding multiplayer access with EA Access and Live Gold and how a shared account can utilise the multiplayer function. My query is below. Could someone please tell me what is possible and not possible?

    Hello there,

    Sorry for sounding repetitious as I am aware there are similar posts regarding this capability but I couldn't find the answer worded correctly.

    I can share the Vault games and I have an Xbox Live Gold subscription so my son can access those games and do multiplayer if he chooses.



    He has his own profile on the Xbox One and plays the games with his own available access through family sharing and the Xbox live gold sharing capability.



    Does the EA Access subscription I have through my account give the same capability for him? Does he need to login with my account details and he gets his own saves and gaming experience separate from
    mine?




    I hope that sounds clear as it feels very wordy when typing this in.



    Regards,



    David Gould

    Hey @ , this is not something we can answer on AHQ.
    If you have questions related to how EA Access works and if it can be used on multiple accounts then you would need to speak with Xbox support.




    You can contact Xbox support here: https://support.xbox.com/en-gb

    EA Access - shared multiplayer access on Xbox One with Live subscription

    My Microsoft account has:

    Xbox Live Gold

    EA Access on XBox

    Both paid subscriptions.

    My son has his Microsoft account:

    Family share my Xbox live Gold

    he has access to the EA Games I have downloaded but cannot get multiplayer access with his free EA Games account. Such as Mirrors Edge 2, he can play but cannot get extra options "shared".

    I'm asking if that is a possibility to login into EA Games under my sons Xbox/Microsoft login to give him access without causing any conflict in licensing.

    Just seems confusing in that nothing is clearly stated in the official offerings around this capability. So I'm trying to get clarity. Again thanks for the help and deciphering all of this.

    Cheers,

    David

    So basically is your EA account/email is under your sons xbox profile?

    Or does your son have his own EA account?

    Tanks for your assist yep I have all that covered. :)

    All games are downloaded and accessible, its more around the further access that gives the multiplayer capabilities which requires a sign on to ea games and does not share on the xbox in the same way as Xbox Live Gold.

    Cheers,

    The games through EA access can be shared through the Home sharing feature.

    If there is a certain game on EA access that he wants to play you would need to sign in with your account to download the games since your account is the one that has the EA access on it once the game is downloaded he would be able to play the game under
    his account.

    Now there are certain games that require an adult xbox account to play this is a limit on EAs side and nothing that Xbox can do about that.

    Hello Mantermite,

    You can create an EA account for him as he should have it anyway. Once created try accessing the multiplayer features with how you got it set up. If he is unable to access the multiplayer still then the home sharing feature isn't working with the EA. There
    is no definite guide for this as it is an EA subscription.

    Thanks,

    Brad
