    Game Pass friends & family share


    Trying to setup Friends and family Game Pass share. It not working. The friend gets the invitation email, but when accepting they get the error that the consoles is in different regions, but both consoles is on and in the same region.

    Does Xbox Family pass only work on 2 consoles?

    Hello Tristan, sorry to hear you're having trouble with Sharing.

    I'm afraid the Friends & Family pass only shares access to the Game Pass and its features. If you're looking to share your purchased games then that is only possible via the Home setting on the console. Once an account is set as Home on a console then that accounts purchased games can be shared on that console without issue. Any other console would need to have the account that purchased the games logged in while others play.

    You can read more about the differences between the two options via the links below.

    Friends & Family - https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptio...
    Yes, we did not purchase any games and do not plan on sharing any purchased games. We bought the family and friends pass, and we want to play games that are on the Xbox Game Pass but we want to play these games on our separate consoles, using the 5 accounts and 5 separate consoles that we registered on the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family. Only 2 of us are now able to access game pass on our separate consoles, whereas the other 3 are not able to connect to Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family even though we all subscribed using the link provided by the person who bought the Xbox Game Pass Family and Friends. All of us show up on the Xbox Game Pass Friends and Family but not all of us are able to access its features.

    3 Xbox Consoles - 1 Family and they can't be played at the same time

    Hi again.

    I asked you if your daughters are playing through a single gamepass subscription because microsoft ended gamepass sharing for more than one console or xbox user to play at the same time with a single subscription.

    "On August 15, 2023, the Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family preview program will end as we review what we’ve learned over the past several months and investigate how to build an offer which we can launch worldwide."

    That was the words from the xbox team about sharing game pass with friends and family to see more information about xbox game pass sharing with friends and family you can check it by the next link.

    PC GAME PASS: How to play two instance of 1 game in two PC?

    Hi, my name is Fernando and I am an independent consultant for Microsoft products.

    Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to share Ultimate Game Pass on a PC.

    You'll need the GAME PASS FRIENDS & FAMILY:

    Can't use my Game Pass on second computer

    Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

    You can only share your subscription on console through the home Xbox feature. Adding someone to the family does not grant them access to your subscription.

    An alternative would be the new game pass family & friends plan:

    (At this time, Game Pass Friends & Family is only available in Colombia, Chile, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, and Sweden.)

    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble to invite friends to your game pass family subscription

    If you acquired the subscription today please try waiting a few more days before inviting your friends to join.

    Meanwhile, please ask your friends to check if their accounts region are the same as the subscription, not only the console region needs to match
    They can check the region here:
