Gold Live / Pass Sharing, Profile Saves , 2 Consoles, One Home

Hi Arthur,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums with this issue. When it comes to Xbox Game Pass, the subscription cannot be shared as the Xbox Live Gold subscription can. In order to play a game from Game Pass, your father's profile must be set as the Home
Console profile of your console and then the game downloaded. After that, the Home Console setting will allow you to play the downloaded game on your profile, even when his profile is not signed in.

How to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox

Using Xbox Live Gold sharing features on Xbox One

I hope that this helps out.

Hi there BadeFamily

It would the xbox gold account set on second console as home to share the gold but the first console will still have gold on that profile. That way account on 2 shares gold on console 2 but still able to use same gold on console one.

Hi there,

there is not an option to share subscriptions in one household.

But since this is for 2 consoles, there is an alternate option.

You can use the Home console feature. If for example one of your kids accounts has a Gold subscription that account is able to use the Gold features on any console that is connected to Xbox Live.

That account is also able to assign one Xbox One console as their Home console, which will result that their Gold subscription is shared on that Home console, allowing other profiles on that Home console to use Gold features too.

See this link for more information in regards to Home console features:
https://support.xbox.com/xbox-one/xbox-live/xbox-live-gold-sharing-features

This will also be the case for other subscriptions and for digital purchased games.

In your situation, if child A has a Gold console, and assigns console 1 as their Home console, child B (and any other profile) will be able to use Gold features on console 1.

Child A will be able to use Gold features on any other console as long as the console is connected to Xbox Live (Internet)

Keep in mind that if their is a Service issue or internet issue, digital purchased games can only be played on the account's Home console.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask

Standard Xbox home sharing policies apply to Xbox Game Pass, just as they do to Xbox Live Gold. If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription and have designated your home Xbox, you’ll automatically share your subscription with any profile signed in
on that console.

There is plenty of information suggesting both Game Pass Ultimate and Xbox Live Gold are shareable on a machine designated as the 'Home Xbox'. The below information is from the Xbox support information.

I have an Ultimate subscription and my Xbox is set as my home machine. My son is simply logging in to his profile on that same Xbox and has access to games I have downloaded on my side, but if he goes in to Live Gold on his side its asking him to subscribe and not allowing him to use my Gold subscription as suggested.

Can I share Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on my Home Xbox?

Yes, standard Xbox home sharing policies apply for both Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold. If you have an Ultimate subscription and have designated your home Xbox, you’ll automatically share your subscription with any profile signed in on that console.

Sharing your Xbox Live Gold subscription

Here’s how Xbox Live Gold subscribers can extend their Gold subscription benefits to friends and family.

At home: Make your primary Xbox (if you have more than one) your home Xbox, which gives anyone who signs in to the console with their profile the ability to use your Gold subscription.
