    Your nephews also need to be living at the same physical address as yourself for you to share your games or subscriptions.

    Game share

    Do you mean game pass? Or you're game sharing with someone in your family? If its game share then try having your family member login with their account on the console and see if it shows up then.

    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.

    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.

    Game pass family sharing

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    The PC does not have the same function as the console. What you can do is log into the account that has the subscription to the Microsoft Store app on your Windows, download the games and log into the account you want to use to play games on the Xbox app.
