Gold sharing on Xbox 360 console

It seems the "Gold-Sharing" will only apply to accounts on 1 console. This is fine by me since I only plan on buying 1 Xbox One console and sharing it with my brother but bad for people who wanted the "Gold" benefits on separate consoles.

RonnieCrawford1,

Unfortunately, there is no way to share Gold on the Xbox 360. Gold sharing was introduced with the Xbox One. You will need a separate subscription for each account on the 369 consoles.

Thanks for using the forums!

Do you share your Xbox One with someone else? The One has the ability to share gold across the console, but the 360 doesn't. So if the subscription actually belongs to someone else on that console, you will need your own gold subscription in order to play
online on the 360.

Unfortunately the information given to you is incorrect (unless Microsoft changed that behavior).

If a person uses a shared Gold membership on a console, they can only use the Multiplayer benefits and party chat on that console.

The account itself is actually a free account, and therefore loses access to the Xbox One games with Gold.

An account using a shared Gold membership can't get Games with Gold, won't get Gold discounts on game purchases and other Gold benefits.

They can ONLY play multiplayer games and participate in Parties on the console that is sharing the Gold membership.

The Xbox 360 games will remain available, as the Xbox 360 system doesn't know how a "rental" license works and can't be revoked.

If you "bought" a Xbox 360 game as a Game with Gold, it will stay with you forever.

Xbox One games with gold cease to function if you are not a "real" Gold member. Shared Gold will not enable you to these games.

On the 360 each account has to have it's own subscription. Gold is not shared on the console. On the One, you can share gold with all accounts on the console.
