Family Member using Game Pass Ultimate on a PC

Hello DanielDominguez Rueda,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox support forums. I understand that you are attempting to share your Game Pass Ultimate account with family members on other PCs. There is no official method on sharing a Game Pass Ultimate subscription on PC. For a full FAQ on a PC Game Pass Ultimate subscription, please view: Game Pass Ultimate PC FAQ.

Thank you,

Hiya Francia,

Just wondering if you had any idea if and when there would be a feature allowing Game Pass Ultimate sharing with family members on PC?

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. This happens because the PC doesn't have the function to define it as a home device, so it is not possible to share game pass on the PC, and have two people playing at the same time, even if they are from the family group.

What can be done is you define your account, in the case of the person who pays for the subscription in the Microsoft store of that PC, after doing that the member who will use the subscription must log in their profile through the Xbox application, this works for some people, but as I said it doesn't work if they try to play at the same time, because the pc doesn't have the function to set the device as home.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

I apologize for any frustration this may have caused. The reason why the Ultimate Game Pass cannot be shared with family on PC is because it is designed to be a single-user subscription. However, you can create a family group and add family members to it, and then purchase separate Game Pass subscriptions for each family member. This will allow each family member to have their own Game Pass subscription and access to the games on their own devices. I hope this helps!

However that is limited to perks and seperate PCs

You can sign in with the subscribed accounrlt in the xbox store and download said games but cloud is a subscriber perk only

The friends and family test.plan has been paused for now with a "possible" future release

Home.console.is only a console.feature

But my subscription is for Game Pass Ultimate and not for Game Pass for PC... My family should have access to the games, right? Otherwise, what is the family plan for?
