    How to share Xbox Live with another console?


    My family recently set up a second Xbox console. We designated the first Xbox the home console in order to access Game Pass Ultimate on both accounts on the home Xbox (my account was not the one the game pass was purchased on). I could play all single player Game Pass Games, but when I tried to go onto any multiplayer games (Sea of Thieves specifically) it said I needed to purchase the game pass, even though I obviously had it. It’s almost as though Xbox live did not transfer to my account from the account that had purchased the game pass. Does anyone know a solution to this?

    :)

    How to share Xbox Live with another console?

    Hi, my name is Marvina and I will be happy to help you.

    I'm sorry you have this problem. Follow the instructions below for a solution.

    We changed your primary Xbox, but be sure to assign it again if you reset the console and delete everything.
    Topics related to the main Xbox

    When you install a digital game for the first time on your primary Xbox, the console retrieves an Xbox Live license so you can play it. The digital gaming license is linked to your primary Xbox and never expires unless you change your primary Xbox. This gives you access to your digital games whether you're online or offline.

    Your friends and family members who are signed in on your primary Xbox also have access, even when you're not signed in. For example, a family member can play your titles when you are not using the console. You just need to sign in with your Xbox profile.

    Important You can download, play and share your digital games on any Xbox console without having to change your primary Xbox. This is very useful if you have a second console or are playing on a friend's console. Everyone can enjoy your games if the console is connected and everyone is signed in to Xbox Live.

    Share these items with anyone signed in to your primary Xbox:
    Games and downloadable content from the Microsoft Store
    Games from an Xbox Game Pass subscription

    Account-specific items can't always be shared. These are some examples:
    Game-specific content like Minecraft Skin Mashups or Halo REQ Packs purchased with in-game coins.
    Game currencies, such as Minecraft Coins
    Some pre-order bonuses and limited edition content that can only be redeemed once

    If you want to set another console as your primary Xbox:
    Press the Xbox  button on your controller to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, then select My Home Xbox.
    Do one of the following to change the state of your console:

    To make this console your primary Xbox, select Set this console as my primary Xbox.
    To remove this console as your primary Xbox, select Make this console my primary Xbox, then select Remove it as my primary Xbox.

    When you change your primary Xbox, shared licenses will no longer be available to other users playing on the previous primary console. You'll need to sign in and be online on the old Xbox console to allow them to use your games and apps (when you're not on the new main console).

    The ability to play offline will also move to the new main console. When you download and launch any game on the new primary console, the license is registered on that console and this allows offline use.

    You can change your primary Xbox a maximum of five times at any time in a one-year period. If you reach the limit for the year, we'll show you the next available date you can change it.
    Note Customer support does not offer additional changes.

    I hope I can help you solve it.

    Best regards,
    Marvina.

    Gamedata

    Xbox Live sharing is for Xbox console only. Even though it is possible to share Xbox live and games on the console (I understand you are on PC) you can not share saved game data. It is not possible to transfer digital data from one account to another on
    either platform.
