How do you share Game Pass Ultimate on PC

Hi,

Should be straightforward, but ....

How do I share Game Pass Ultimate on PC.

Works on Xbox Console.

I have logged in with the owner account - downloaded the app.

Start the app - fine. Works as expected.

Log in to family account (my son) and start the app - fails to start "accounts don't match".

This is with Minecraft Java edition as the app if that helps.

Not sure if this is due to the strange start sequence, where you have to launch from the minecraft version chooser.

Any ideas?

Thanks

:)

On PC, even if Xbox Game Pass Ultimate there is no option to share it yet but if you're pertaining to Xbox console, yes, you can share Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

Hello, S_Reindl. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Game Pass/Ultimate are available for sharing with your family only on the console. Yes, some users made it work on the PC by doing exact what you did: signing in on the Microsoft store with the subscription owner account and on the Xbox app with the family account that wants to have the subscription benefits.

This should work for some games, but other games requires you to be signed in on the Microsoft store with the same account that you are signed in on the Xbox app. If that is the case (like Minecraft Java), unfortunately you will not be able to play it.

I'm sorry about this.

If you have any other question, please let me know.

Hi. I'm getting a new laptop in a few days and it has one month of free Xbox game pass. My brother plays in an Xbox one. Is there any way i can share my Xbox game pass with him?

hi, NOTwarrior007_

I understand your question.
To share subscription between PC and console, you need Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

• The Game Pass for console works only on the console.
• Game Pass for PC works on PC only.
• Game Pass Ultimate works on both

If you have Ultimate you can share with him

Game Pass Ultimate benefits can only be shared on consoles. You cannot gain any benefits or use on PC unless you are signed into the account that purchased Game Pass Ultimate.
