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

    im added to my xbox game pass downstairs in a group but not on my computer

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues sharing the subscription with the family.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To set your expectations properly, not all games work with game pass sharing on PC because there are still games that requires the owner of the subscription to be signed in for a specific game to work with game pass.

    Please make sure that ylu are signed in to your PC with the same Microsoft account that's part of your family's Game Pass group.

    And then verify your family settings. To do this, go to Microsoft Family settings and confirm you are listed under your dad’s family group.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    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.
