    How do I setup 2 accounts on 2 Xbox’s?


    I currently have a Xbox One digital with my account on it. My son would play it as me and access all the games on it. I then bought a Xbox Series X and thought i would give him his own account. He could use the Xbox One and I could use the Xbox Series X.
    This has gave me lots of problems. I’ve added him as a child to my new family account. I sign him in on his One which is set as the home device. When i try to play my X it wants to stop him playing the one console saying i can only use one device. I would
    like to be able to use both devices seperately and even, if possible, be able to play each other on pvp games like Fortnite. I dont mind if i have to buy him a seperate game pass for this. I just need to know how to do it. Its driving me mad!!! Thanks for
    any advise.

    :)

    How do I setup 2 accounts on 2 Xbox’s?

    This is a simple workaround, if you set your account as the “home xbox” on your sons xbox your son will have acces to all of the games on your account and your current subscription to xbox live or game pass without having you sign into your account. To
    set this up you need to sign into your account on his xbox and go to settings, find the “personalization” button under the general tab, scroll down to the bottom and click on the buton that says “my home xbox”, and then click the “make this my home xbox” button
    and then your son should have all of your games and your subscription on his account without needing you to be signed in. Do note that you cannot have the same account as the home xbox on two different consoles but that wont matter as long as you arent sharing
    your xbox as your account will be perfectly fine regaurdless. also you only get 5 of these switches per year so dont change it around too much.

    How do I setup 2 accounts on 2 Xbox’s?

    I really appreciate your reply. The problem i have is - I’ve set the One console as the home device. I have to be signed in to it so the games are available. I sign my son in on his account so it says him plus one which is me. He can play all my games.
    I go through and turn on my Xbox X and try to play a game it says that I’m already playing it on the other console do i want to end that seasion. This would mean stopping the game on the One device. If i log myself out of the One and try to play a game it
    asks for the microsoft account to login to access it. This is the same for my son if he try to login without me. My account only lets me play one Xbox at a time
