    Fortnite on 2 consoles & 1 live gold account


    Hi. I have an xbox one S with a live gold account which my children share to play forrnite mostly. I bought an xbox one x and would like to know how to go about sharing the live gold account on the other machine. If it can be done and how.

    Can each machine play fortnite at the same time? If we have to create a second fortnite profile that's fine.

    Will I need a 2nd microsoft account for the x?

    If theres a step by step instructional for a newb I'd appreciate it. Thanks

    :)

    Your xbox live gold is linked to you main account and your main xbox.

    You can play fornite with your gold account on all xbox you want.

    For your children account he only can play fornite on your main xbox, in your case the xbox one s

    You can change your main xbox 5 time a year

    Make sure you are the main account holder on both console and add your child as family member.. allow them to have instant sign in to avoid you being signed out on xbx... anything you buy ie games should be from main account otherwise you wont be able
    to share it but fortnite content is separate purchase only for 1 account ie v bucks

    Hey there Gadget_694,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for advice on how to set this up. I can totally understand how this could be pretty confusing the first time through. We have an instructional article on the

    site here,
    but basically, you would sign in with the account that you purchase all your games with, and you would make it their "Home Xbox". When you do that, it will make it so that everyone who signs on that console will be able to play the games you
    have bought and share your Xbox Live Gold sub.

    When possible, check out that article and let us know if you require any more info.

    Thanks for reading!

    Sharing Xbox Live Pass with family members on two different consoles

    Well that's not how home console works

    Ok so let's call your profile profile 1 and your xbox one x console 1

    Your son profile is profile 2 and console 2 for thr xbox one

    Since profile 1 is gold console 2 MUST BE set to home console for profile 1 and profile 2 can use the gold from that and be signed into his own profile 2

    HOWEVER gold is NOT required on fortnite or any f2p games

    Profile 1 can play on console 1

    Profile 2 can use your content on console 2 only

    While profile 1 can use your content on console 1 as long as you are connected to live

    You cannot be signed in on two different places

    What you are talking about is guest account NOT home console

    Your profile must be signed out of console 2

    for some reason i need another gold membership

    Ok first to explain it

    Lets call the primary account account 1 with gold and games and dlc

    And the second account account 2 that wants to play coop etc whatever

    Console 1 is the home console

    And console 2 is visiting console

    Console 1 Account 1 makes console 1 home and both account 1 -2 can use dlc and gamea and gold on console.1

    On console 2

    Account 1 must sign into live to use dlc and games at all times

    Account 2 does NOT have gold on console 2 as ita on console 1 you have a limit of 10 switches per year gamepass isnt shared only the gold part of ultimate is with one gold only one can be roaming

    Keep in mind an profile can only signed in on one place at a time so there Must be two profiles for them to play together
