Game Pass Ultimate: Is Xbox Cloud Gamming not available to share with family members

Todd Hughes1 · Sep 23, 2023

Hi There,

Tried to trouble shoot from a previous blog about children using Game Pass Ultimate. I have set our console to Home and my son's account still says he has to subscribe to use cloud gaming.

Essentially he is trying to play NFS Unbound on Xbox One S. We can't purchase the game because its only available on X/S. Under my account I can play it via Cloud gaming. But when I go to my son's account it says he has to subscribe even after setting it as our home unit. Any thing else I can try or is Cloud Gaming one of the perks that is not family sharable?

Thanks!

:)

Or you will have to wait and see if the friends and family comes out

They just finished the beta with no news on release

However with the recent case it's doubtful since ms sold xcloud due to one legal body

The case is baffling since they were on the verge of winning and they decided to avoid the appeal even though they had a good chance of winning

Even the judge was baffled

Now if the appeals court decide to throw out the deal and hand ms the win anyways we will see next month with the case management since CAT still has to approve it

It's even baffling how cma said it was ms fault for.the delay yet cma wouldn't talk to them until the FTC lost and they had the adjusted deal back in August

Currently anyone who wants to use cloud gaming would need their own Ultimate subscription.

Thank you... Do you know if there is an option to add the cloud gaming to the family account or does each child need to pay for Xbox Ultimate to do that?

Basically home console only applied to console

Since cloud gaming is online console share doesn't apply since sub accounts can't roam.

Cloud gaming is not sharable.
