Family sharing with multiple xboxs

MarkSiwek · Nov 4, 2021

I recently managed to get my hands on a Series X. I was hoping to set up my old OneX in a different part of the house for the kids to use, but still let them use the SeriesX. However, because only one can be designated the Home Xbox, the other one would always require me to log in, which isn't ideal. Is there any way to set it up so the kids could use either xbox without me needing to sign in on one of them?

Thanks!

Hi there,

to answer your question, it's not possible to have the kids use either Xbox without you needing to sign in on any of them.

Games (and services) tied to your account will only be available on the Home console (when your account is not signed in).

First, welcome to the Xbox community.

Regarding your question, your account must be connected to both consoles, as it is your account that has the game's license, and also the subscriptions, so it is necessary that you are always logged in with your account on the consoles, even with the home setting, as it is from your profile that they will be able to read the games you have and the subscriptions you have.

I believe you can share those without having to buy multiple copies of games, etc.
