Fallout 76 playing with family on same server

DennisDean5 · Apr 17, 2021

Hi there,

I currently have two xbox series s consoles in my house. One for me and another for my son. We have been trying to play fallout 76 together on different consoles using the same server. But it keeps telling me I need to purchase game, after I already purchased a 2nd digital game online.

My son has a separate email account with bethesda.we actually got the system to with an old xbox one and he has player saved in the game.

But since I've used the new console, I can't seem to get it to work.

:)

Thanks for replying to me.

But I seem to be having the same problem.

I tried resetting everything and my son's console is set as" home console".

It appears the fallout 76 game is downloaded twice on one console. The game is loaded on an external hard drive and on the consoles internal drive.

I don't know whether that is creating a conflict??

Every time I tried to play the game on both consoles ( at same time). It tells me tells me I can only play on one console at a time with my gamertag.

So I switched to my son's gamertag and it says I need to purchase the game.

Hopefully you can give me more suggestions to help. I appreciate it thanks

Hello @DennisDean5, I hope everything going well for you!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I want you not to worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

I highly recommend following the troubleshooting steps here:

After each step try to see if the issue is fixed!

First, please select System > Settings > account > remove accounts and then select your account and select Remove to confirm.

Then, hold down the power button for about 10 seconds, until the console shuts off, then unplug the power cord and wait for 2 to 3 minutes before plugging it back in and turn on the Xbox.

If the issue persists, please select System > Settings > devices and streaming > blue ray > persistent storage > clear three times > restart console.

If the issue persists, please try to check you games in the order games history in this following website : Microsoft account | Home

If you are still encountering the same issue, please select System > Settings > System > Console info > Select Reset console > Choose Reset and keep my games and apps.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to answer your question. There is technically no single player mode on Fallout 76. When you click play it throws you into a server where other players are playing on that same map. You don't have to interact with them
but that is the current set up for Fallout 76. I hope I was able to answer your question.

Happy Gaming!
