How to play games on the primary account?

Hello Momma Gamer,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble playing games on the primary account. Here are some steps that might help you fix this issue:



1. Make sure that both consoles are connected to the internet and have the latest system updates.

2. On the XboxS, go to Settings > General > Personalization > My home Xbox and select "Make this my home Xbox". This will allow anyone who uses this console to play games and apps that you own, even when you are not signed in.

3. On the Xbox One, sign in with the younger brother's account and go to Settings > General > Personalization > My home Xbox and select "This is not my home Xbox". This will prevent anyone else from playing your games and apps on this console, unless you are signed in.

4. Restart both consoles and try playing Minecraft again on the younger brother's account.

Thank you for understanding.

Only the account with the Elite will have primary access. You can load the game with primary account and have a second account split-screen with you, but the primary must be there. At least that is how it is with me and the room mate (I have Elite, he doesn't).

I'll try my best to clear up any cofusion and keep this post as short as I can

How the 360 will work: Every account needs it's own subscription to play on any 360.

How the One will work: Only the primary account on each console needs a subscription

Some examples I came up with:

Q: I have four accounts and one Xbox One how can I play online with all of my accounts?

A:You'll only need one subscription on the primary account the other 3 can play on that console for free.

Q: I have four accounts and two Xbox Ones how can I play online with all my accounts on both Xbox Ones?

A: You'll need two subscriptions one for each primary account the other two will be able to play on both console for free.
