How do I add game pass to my son's account?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm Wille, an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

By default, a child account is set to require an adult's approval before a child can make a purchase through their account. If you leave the Ask to buy feature on, you can continue to make sure a child doesn't make a purchase using an adult's credit card and monitor the type of content they want to buy. You’ll be able to approve or deny the child's purchase requests through email or on the Family settings page.

Family settings page: https://account.microsoft.com/family

Note: purchases can still be made from a child account using gift cards or money in their Microsoft account.

If you choose to turn Ask to buy off, the child account can make purchases without an adult’s approval. To turn this feature off, follow these steps:

- Sign in to your https://account.microsoft.com/family/home with an adult Microsoft account;
-Find the child's name and select More options > Spending;
-Under the Ask to buy section, switch Needs organizer approval to buy things to Off.

Note: If you leave the adult approval option turned on, you can approve or deny your child's purchase requests via email, at account.microsoft.com/family, or in the Microsoft Safety Family mobile app available for Android and iOS.

Thank you, Gerardo! I currently have Game Pass Ultimate. So if I'm understanding this correctly, the net result would be the purchase of the game in question on Console 3, plus a second Game Pass account for my son. Wow, that is a bit disappointing. I suppose one way to save would be to drop Ultimate to Core, and add another Core account for my son, which may only add an additional $5/month or so to the total.

Does the above sound feasible? Meaning two Game Pass Core subscriptions on the two XBox X consoles, one in my account and one on my son's account (he's 13), along with the purchase of the one or two games on one of the XBox Xs that we want to play as a threesome?

One last question: if my son and I have a separate Game Pass Core accounts and the game or games are free on Game Pass, do we even need to purchase the game again? Using two separate Game Pass accounts, I could share mine with my daughter while my son uses his own account.

Thank you kindly for your help with this.

Thanks for the advice.

As myself and my son very likely just play in our PC, not on a console, so may I recap if my understanding is correct l:

1. Claim the game pass key under my own email address in my Microsoft account

2. Through my Microsoft family, my son can share the subscription as my family member

3. Register my xBox account same email as my Microsoft account email which claimed the game pass

4. In my son's laptop, he also create his xbox account using his email address which is the same as his email in my Microsoft family setting

5. In my son's laptop, somewhere in his xBox setting, add my email as the Microsoft store account. I think it is how his xbox account get access into the game pass.

I will try out how the step 5 when I get the game pass key.

In the meantime, is my understanding correct that if my son login his xbox app and I login my xbox app at the same time in our two computers, both of us can play our own games at the same time?

Is there any limit of xbox account that can add my Microsoft store account?

And is there any limit how many of those accounts can play games at the sane time?

Really appreciate your advice

Cheers

How do I transfer add-ons to the game FIFA 18 to my son's account (he was added to my family) if I did not use them?

Hi Ricardo.

Thanks for the reply.

The xbox does have 2 accounts on it, mine and my sons. (Mine is simply on there so he has access to game pass etc)

But the moment the xbox is turned on, it logs my sons account in automatically. Is this what you mean?? Or do i have to do something else aswell?

also, my sons account is under a child account so he doesnt have an email address added to it. Will this be causing a problem? if so, can i somehow add an email adress to it??

Thanks
