Can You Play Online With Any Gamertag If

on the XBOX One if you have one gold account set as primary console you can choose to share gold with the other accounts on the console.

I think so yes but for a single xbox, it takes the single live account and all users can access features behind the paywall as if they had gold on that console.

arthurdentpc has 3 xbox's tho, and the old "family" bundle allowed each user to effectively have their own gold membership, so gold on each user which translated to gold on each console, now its gold to anyone on the single xbox....

So I assume on single xbox families the new system is much better, but on multiple xbox families its not as good. Its not super clear tho how this new gold system will work on xbox one, but it does read like arthur is shafted rather unfairly in this new scenario.Click to expand...

If that is the case who gets to use their gold account on other machines? They've clearly said that. Just like now, your live subscription follows you to whatever Xbox console you use. So who on that original console can take their account to another console?

Yes. You would have to purchase/redeem gold on one of their accounts. That account would have to set the second console as their Home console in order to share the gold subscriptions. The 2nd account would use the Home console and the account with gold would
use the non-Home console.

Hi,

How many accounts do you actually have? If you have three consoles, you'll need three accounts. Two accounts can share Xbox Live Gold, not three. The third account will need separate subscription.

In addition, an account can only be used on one console at a time. If you sign in with the same account on another console, the previous console will sign out.

Just a bit of clarification on how many Xbox One consoles can have gold from one gamertag. Only two console can give gold benefits to all other users at the same time. The gold gamertag's home console give gold benefits to anyone who plays on that console.
At the same time anybody playing on any console with the gold gamertag has gold access as long as that one gold gamertag is signed in, once that person signs out everybody else loses access to gold.

I've the same issue..

i wanna use another windows live account on my new xbox one..

I have an account already with a gamertag and gold membership since some years but i want to change the xbox gold membership and gamertag to another live account because the new one is my primary account (with skydrive,...)

So how can i handle it on the new xbox dashboard? The one from "karachi king" is the step-by-step guide for the old dashboard...
