Home Xbox setting not Sharing Online Access but sharing Game pass Games.

Tank Dempsey1 · Dec 17, 2023

It's about as confusing as it sounds. This happen as of Last night on Dec 15, 2023. I Have tried giving it a Power Cycle and it still was acting funky. I Tried removing it and Re-adding it as a home console and still got nothing. I'm running low on options, can someone help? This is happening on a Series S. The console has been working properly in all other areas.

Another thing, If I use the account with the Game Pass attached it gives me a Pop-up that Normally would lead me to Game Pass but doesn't and says Go Back. It's a Very confusing bug and I don't think it's just me as this seems like a Server issue, So I'd like to know if it is if it turns out to be the case. If it isn't then please tell me how to fix it.

Note: The profile with the Game Pass is set as the Home Xbox and the Games on Game Pass are Playable as long as they aren't multiplayer. Only games that are multiplayer cannot be accessed without the Purchase Game Pass Pop-up. Another thing is the if you load up a Game on the account with game pass it tries to give you the Purchase Game Pass Pop-Up but instead gives you the Pop-Up with it telling you to go back.

Hi Tank D, my name is Adam.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Xbox Series S. Kindly follow these steps:

1. Sign into their account on your Xbox console.

2. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

3. Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

4. Check Make this as My Home Xbox.

Kindly note that: Game Pass itself does not share, but the games downloaded from the pass do. So, you would access any games your friend downloads first.

I'll try again once the Issue is Confirmed Resolved by Microsoft.

Yes. If you have Gold/Game Pass Ultimate and set the console as your Home, she can access online by sharing through your account.
