Guest Xbox Live Issue

if this is the account in question

because you are currently silver NOT gold

1st are you using the 14day trial code?

if so that would be why

14day trial codes do not give you gold and only give you temporary gold access without the full benefits

you need ACTUAL gold to have a guest play with you online

ah, i see. yes, im using the 14 day trial. so, to solve this problem, what kind of subscriptions should i get? the 3 month one? thank you so much for your help!!

you can get 1month 3months or 12months or 2 years

it goes abit cheaper the more months you buy per month

you pay in lump sum payment once with renewal later but like 12months will be only 5bucks per month by paying 59.95 vs 9.95 for 1month

or 19.95 for 3months

you are charged based on the subscription so 12months will be charged 59.95 without another charge till 12months or whatever you stack you can buy multiple subscription time upto 3 years at a time

but sometimes there are sales on subscription time on the dashboard or amazon or your local retailer

i sometimes get 13months for 59.95 or 14months for 49.95 depends (14months is no more so far as i seen)

Hey there, I don't think you can use the guest profile feature while playing ranked online matches. Though to set up a guest account for the rest of the game:

1.Make sure the second controller is turned on and is not signed in to xbox live.

2.From the main menu select VERSUS then select XBOX LIVE PLAYER MATCH

3.At the bottom of the VERSUS PLAYER MATCH screen you should see this “Y Guest SIGN-IN”

4.On the second controller press Y then select “Guest Xbox Live” from the list that drops down.

5.That’s it, you are now ready to play with your guest

Hi!

If your Xbox account has Xbox Live gold, you can add a Guest account on your xbox that guest will share your live membership features while logged in to your xbox that includes voice chatting.
