    How does Game Pass exactly work for PC?


    I have access and control of my brother's Xbox account and he has Game Pass on his Xbox One. I noticed while in the Microsoft store it says I can install/play games because of the Game Pass from his account.

    I understand I can use his Game Pass on my PC since its on his Xbox but I have 3 questions about the details on how it works.

    1) If I click on install/play will it download onto my PC and his Xbox by default?

    2) Does using the Game Pass on my PC stop him from being able to use it at the same time on his Xbox One?

    3) Once installed on my PC do I have to use his account to play the game or could I install and then use a different account?

    I rather not interrupt his ability to use Game Pass , online or his Xbox in general.

    Thank you in advance.

    :)

    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Famly Sharing

    Hi Brad,

    Thanks for responding. How does setting home for console work on the PC for the PC Game Pass? Is there even a way to do this so the kids can download PC Game Pass titles that are linked to the Ultimate Pass?

    Thanks!

    How Exactly Does Matchmaking Work in this Game?

    There is NO matchmaking in MP, its totally random. Let me rephrase that. In normal core modes the ONLY matchmaking may be a "locale" type search (to have you in games with people near you), but I dont think rank or stats nor "skill" effect this in any way.
    I have been in parties of 5 and we were the top5 scorers on the leaderboards, but the next game will start and we pick up (by matchmaking or whatever) the top scoring player from the other team, LOL). There may be a small stat/rank matcher in there somewhere,
    but I think its mostly just searching for the best host after it places you in lobbies with people near you (which helps connections, theoretically). League Play has a "skill" matchmaking , but its based off of wins and losses ONLY. I would assume it places
    you in lobbies after a "locale" type search (which is good), then it matches off WL. Most of the time core searches seem random, JMHO.

    Regular matchmaking = ping & latency; League Play = skill-based. There's no locale search in here, unlike Black Ops 1.

    ^^Regular play--latency and ping to people close to you (or just like a locale search). League Play is NOT "skill based", its based off of wins and losses ONLY.

    If you purchased Game Pass Ultimate, then yes, it works both on PC and console. Game Pass does not. You have the console Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
