    In App Xbox One (Fort Night) purchases not available to family members. Same Console.


    Hello.

    Just switched to Family account to better monitor my 3 kids on Xbox One. To this point, they have used my one Main profile that also has Xbox Live. Now that they're all in the "Family", the in-app purchases (bought via my primary profile) are not available
    to them when the use their profiles.

    The App is Fort Night if that's a factor. The Account is successfully functioning as a Family setup & the Xbox is listed as Home Xbox.

    (I thought that would do it but my kids cannot access the in app purchase data) The purchases were done on this Console and they all use that same console.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    :)

    Basically you sign into a mate's/family members xbox and make that your home console and your mate/family member does the same on yours. Then any purchases you make, appear on your mate's/family member's xbox and vice versa.

    Adding my partners Xbox 360 Username to the Xbox One

    If you are gold just add her account to the Xbox one using the 360 details then go to settings and add her id into family it will then grant her ID the same Gold status you have at no extra cost, All Family members on the console get the same gold status as the main ID

    You may find the link above worth a read.

    - Our family has more than one console. Do all of our accounts have to be on one console only? When you add a family member to an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, you have to add it to the same console as the primary account holder. However, after you add that family
    member to your Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, they can recover their account on a different console and still remain a part of the Family Pack. Note The family member does have to remain in same country as the primary account holder.

    Purchased App/Update Not Available for Family Member.

    items like this are simular to season passes in other games, they are only available to the account that purchased it, as this is not a DLC as such but a consumable (as its termed).

    About XBOX Family Pack

    Hi,

    If you want to start a family pack this way it needs to be started from 1 console. So all the accounts need to be on the same console that starts the family pack, once they are successfully enrolled in the family pack the other members are free to download
    their profiles to their own respective consoles. All of the family pack members need to be from the same region.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say purchasing the family pack with 4 different accounts, that would be 4 separate payments of $99 instead of 1 payment of $99. As long as the account has an Xbox LIVE Gold membership those accounts can play online
    with each other anywhere. If you personally purchased Castle Crashers on your own console, you will only have access to it on your console. The other people in the family pack (unless they are over your own house) will not have access to this content. So,
    downloadable content is still console dependent.

    Purchases can only be made by the primary member (the person that starts the family pack). So any points that are needed will need to be purchased by the primary member and then distributed to the other members of the family pack if they wish to buy a game
    on their own account. You cannot buy a game on one account and make it available to all other accounts. This is again console and gamertag dependent.

    If you guys are all in different houses using 4 different Xbox 360's you will all need your own copy of Borderlands to play with each other, the same goes for any DLC purchased. The family pack really only comes into play, for well.. families. It's not meant
    for 4 people that want to aggressively make purchases as it's going to be a huge pain in the neck for the person that's the primary member of the family pack.

    Problem adding nephew to Xbox Live Family Gold.

    It shouldn't work that way. That's per the FAQ for the plan -

    When you add a family member to an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, you have to add it to the same console as the primary account holder. However, after you add that family member to your Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, they can recover their account on a different

    Note The family member does have to remain in same country as the primary account holder.

    Purchase of this content is not allowed for child + teen accounts.

    To my knowledge, these Games for Gold games are not available for purchase to secondary members of a Gold Family Pack. You can only get them as the primary member of the family gold pack. The only alternative I see is if your family members wish to play
    these games you can download it to 1 console initially and all the profiles on that console can play it online or offline. They just wouldn't be able to play the games on multiple consoles.
