    How does Xbox Live work between Xbox Ones


    This Christmas I am upgrading both my daughters and my 360 to Xbox One. I am curious what I need to do for live and how it works between different X1's. I'm under the assumption with live home if I put all the gamer tags on my X1 (the main X1) then my daughter
    can still use her gamer tag and play games and use live on her X1 separately. Similar to the old family plan. Or if I'm wrong do I need 2 live accounts for both of us to go online at once. Also with the transferring games. If there is a game on 1 of them can
    it also be played on the second one? Any help would be grateful. I already spent a lot on the X1's and new games and accessories. I just want to make sure I only need 1 Live account for both of us or if I need to buy another one.

    Thanks

    :)

    Live Account over 360 and Xbox One

    Has it been stated anywhere how it's going to work if you move to Xbox One & keep your 360 ?

    Will you still be able to log into Live with your gamertag on both machines (ie swapping between the two systems at will) or will your gamertag be stuck on the Xbox One ??

    How does Xbox Live work between Xbox Ones

    No worries, I'll try to help if I can.

    Sharing Gold - Only one gamertag needs a gold membership on an Xbox One. Simply have that gamertag set the console as the Home console and then go to Settings and scroll right until you see Add to Family. The gamertag you add will then share your Gold
    membership on the Xbox One console.

    This membership is not transferable to other consoles though so if you had the membership and shared with your daughter she would not be able to use it elsewhere.

    If you choose this option, set your daughter's console as your Home console and then add her to your family.

    As for games, if you have a disc copy of a game you will need to purchase two copies of it in order for both of you to play at the same time on different consoles.

    If you have a digital copy you can download it to both consoles. If you've taken my advice to set your daughter's console as your Home console then whatever you purchase on your console will automatically download to your daughter's console as well. That
    way you can both play at the same time.

    If you aren't currently aware all games whether disc or digital must be installed to the console's hard drive. This can take up a fair amount of space as some games are quite large. I would recommend getting a couple of USB 3.0 compatible hard drives for
    the consoles as well to act as external storage for your games. You can use any drive that ranges in size from 256GB - 16TB

    Are digital purchases still tied to a console, or a gamertag?

    What is a difference between how licenses work on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One?

    On the Xbox 360 there are licenses on the console itself, when there are no licenses connected to the Xbox One console

    How content licenses are made available on a Xbox One console?

    When the owner account is signed into Xbox Live on a Xbox One console or when the licenses owner has specified the console as Home console and connected to Xbox Live.

    Xbox Live Party does not work between Xbox One and Xbox 360

    You cannot play games in the group between X1 and X360. Still if you are using backward compatibility you can have a group like in real X360 to open its guide you need to push (not guide button) but two buttons on left and right in the same time (View and
    Menu).

    Xbox Live Party does not work between Xbox One and Xbox 360

    Hi make sure you are joining the party through the Xbox 360 guide, and not through the Xbox one guide. If you're not sure how to access the Xbox 360 guide, press the two buttons either side of the Xbox button at the same time on the controller. This will
    bring up the Xbox 360 guide, and you can join the party from there.
