    How do I get the game pass that we have been using for years on xbox to show up on our new PC?


    New PC build. My son has signed into his microsoft account and I can see his username in the xbox app. I can go to his profile info and see all the achievements for the games he plays on xbox. But when we go to game under the game pass section, it wants us to purchase them and acts like we do not have a subscription. I guess technically the subscription is under my account. On the xbox, this does not seem to matter and he is able to download using his account. I assumed that when he signed into his account on the PC, it would see that he is setup as my child under my family account and therefore see that he has a valid game pass subscription via me. What am I doing wrong?

    Edit: Just had a thought. I am going to login to the PC using my account and then login to the xbox app using my account and see if that then does something to register the PC to my account and then maybe that will allow things to work under my son's account. I will report back but feel free to tell me this is wrong before I do. How do I get the game pass that we have been using for years on xbox to show up on our new PC? :)

    Well that is disappointing. It is going to be an inconvenience to both of us if he has to get me to log in and download games for him every time he finds something new. I thought that was sort of the point of the xbox family settings...I can restrict certain content and allow him to download and play anything that isn't restricted.

    I had a feeling this might be the case as I did log in to my account and was able to then see that the PC showed up under devices but nothing changed for my son when he logged in later.

    I hope this is something that will be fixed in the near future.

    If the subscription is under your account, he is able to access the games through the Home setting on the console. That does not extend to PC. You would have to sign in on the PC and install the games.

    Finally! A Concise Summary of Xbox One

    we should all get WII u this year to show MS and Sony we will not be manipulated and lied to ..Mario will die if we dont do something! all of us remember our first Mario game? how many smiles he brought us..I say we show support for a company we grew all
    up with..that cares about games and gamers-that has b/c and doesnt try forcing us to put spyware in our house we told them we hated..a company that wont lock us out of our own equipment and discs we paid for.lets stand up and do whats right..Mario needs us!

    No Backwards compatabilty (confirmed)=poor management decision

    x86 isn't "new." PC games have been running off it for 20 years. They screwed up by using PowerPC and now WE have to suffer for it.

    XBox subscriptions for single household / family use

    How to (is it possible to) extend the Game Pass subscription to members of the household?

    I've been paying for Live for 10 years. We've always had a console and everyone plays on the same (primary) subscription, as all downloaded games are accessible by everyone who plays on this console. Now that my kid is older, we upgraded to Xbox Game Pass
    Ultimate and we have our own laptops.

    Is it possible for us each to sign into our own gamertags using the same subscription using PC just as we do on the console? If so, how do we do it? It wouldn't make sense to be charged individually & monthly for each member of the same household. The same
    adult is paying for the subscription and all the games, but we ought to be able to maintain our own game progress even if we switch devices. Please help.
    Well the thing is home console only applies to xbox ones not pc

    And wouldnt work anyways because xgu isnt sharable only the gold part is on the pc

    So xgu for xbox wont qork well for you on multiple laptops

    Because you would need to sign in on the primary and download each game on the laptops and xgu for pc isnt really designed for pc since pc titles are limited to playanywhere titles

    Which are very few

    You are better off running xgu for pc which is cheaper due to the lack of xbox gold but more pc titles

    Xgu for xbox is different from xgu for pc since not all titles are pc compatible

    Thats why its cheaper you dont need gold and you havr 100s pf pc arcade and xgu pc games
