Getting free Games with Gold on Xbox 360 and Xbox One with the same Xbox Live Gold account.

Psychofist · Jul 29, 2014

If I get an Xbox one and bring my existing Live Gold account to it, will I still be able to get free Games with Gold on my Xbox 360 as well as the free Games with Gold on Xbox One? I'm far from abandoning my 360 just yet. But, I still want to start experiencing the
Xbox One.

Gold Subscription

Hi there,

All Xbox One Games with Gold require an active Gold Subscription in order to play them. Xbox 360 ones do not.

Info can be found here: Xbox Live Gold Changes FAQ

Scroll to the bottom where it says "Games with Gold Free Games Offer" and it says exactly how the free games with gold works on Xbox One.

Xbox Live Confusion?

Xbox Live is free.

You can make a Gold account, or a Silver account.

The Gold account gives you access to access to play online, along with free monthly games and weekly deals. This has a fee.

The Silver account gives you access to Xbox Live and apps, but you just can't play online or get the free games. This is free.

Okay! I just found it in the FAQ. Sorry, for being a little blind! Yes I can get GwG for both consoles with one Live account. Yayyy!

Sure can. In fact you can sign in to both at the same time.

There seems to be no solution to this problem if a child account is the one with Xbox Live Gold and you don't have an Xbox 360.

The parent account does not have the ability to get the Xbox Live Gold game for free.

The child account gets the message "Your account is unable to make this type of purchase on Xbox.com".

For the Xbox 360, there are no sharing features for Xbox Live Gold. Each account will need Gold to go online with the Xbox 360.

It is, however, possible for the both of you to play online (with one paid gold subscription) in "split-screen mode" offered in some games, but only on the same Xbox. One player would need to sign into the Gold-enabled account, and the other would have to
sign into a temporary "Guest" account. You will not be able to go online if one of the signed-in players have "Free" status (non-Gold).

The reverse is true for the Xbox One, though, as it offers plenty of
Gold-sharing features.

Axemator is correct Xbox 360 you need to buy separate gold subscription for each user account to go on xbox live whereas Xbox one all you need is one gold account which can be transferred from xbox 360 and you can then make multiple accounts that will get
gold benefits for free on Xbox one only.
