Getting charged for 2nd subscription for family member in same home.

JSnowy521 · Oct 28, 2016

Since before you could use same subscription to access XBox One and XBox 360 of family member. I purchased a 12 month Live subscription for my son (who was 11 at the time). Since then, we should be able to share the same subscription but I'm not sure which
one to cancel and how to not lose either of our history / points / etc. It's coming to that time. In about 10 days, I'll be charged to renew my account. About a month later, I'll be asked to shell out another $100.

Has anyone else had this (or similar) issue? If so, were you able to resolve it? Getting sick of spending double the cost of what we should be getting with a single account.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thx

:)

Basically you sign into a mate's/family members xbox and make that your home console and your mate/family member does the same on yours. Then any purchases you make, appear on your mate's/family member's xbox and vice versa.

You can share gold membership in xbox one among accounts through xbox home setting:

My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One | Share Your Xbox One

As for xbox 360 you can't share gold membership among different accounts.

Hello

You only need one subscription if you're all using the same Xbox. Just make sure whoever has the subscription has set their account as the home Xbox account. The instructions for that are here

If all your family members use the same console which is set as your home console then it will be shared. For more details please check https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/...bscriptions/share-xbox-live-gold-subscription

Thsts not how family settings work nor home.console.

Family settings only set.permissions for child accounts not sharing games

Home console

Here is a article.on how Home console.works

You will have to either limit them to one console or setup another subscription. And games On a 2nd account for.the other series s I'd limit it to games they play ro save money

Most consoles work this way only pc and steam.deck work in the way you want

Pc you have to be signed ij on the xbox app to download the games and let them play (only play.anywhere titles are available for pc without a 2nd purchase

If a 2nd subscription and purchases works for you we can go thru it but It gets complicated

If that family member's Microsoft account does not have an Xbox Live Gold (or Game Pass Ultimate) subscription connected to it, it will then have to rely on whatever subscriptions that their device's Home Xbox setting has with it. The Microsoft account
family feature does not extend subscriptions to those accounts.
