Is the an Xbox game pass that can be used at the same time with family members? Like a...

Hi Pixel! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox Game Pass subscription on your 3 Xbox consoles.

It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

According to this link: (https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...scriptions/xbox-game-pass-friends-family-faq) Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family program has already ended on August 15, 2023

However, you can still share your subscriptions on your 3 consoles by purchasing 2x Xbox game pass ultimate subscriptions on 2 Xbox accounts. Here's what you can do:

Account A (Ideally this should be your account.) with an active Xbox game pass ultimate can set as home Xbox on one of the consoles that will be using by your kids by signing your account on their console > press the Xbox menu button > go to settings > personalization > my home Xbox > make this my home Xbox > then sign out of your account from the console. By doing so, you will be sharing your subscription to all of the accounts that will be signing into that particular console.

Account B with an active Xbox game pass ultimate as well can set as home Xbox on one of the 2-remaining consoles for subscription sharing. This console should be one of the consoles where your kids frequently play.

Then either using your Account A or Account B, you can simply sign into the 3rd console that has no home Xbox sharing. This console should be your personal console. As long as you sign in to one of these accounts on this console, you will still be able to take advantage of your Xbox Game pass ultimate.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Following up on myself, it looks like

https://www.xbox.com/en-IE/xbox-game-pass/friends-and-family

would do it "Everyone can play at the same time, even play the same game, or play online multiplayer games together."

However it seems it is not generally available right now:

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help...bscriptions/xbox-game-pass-friends-family-faq

"Note Game Pass Friends & Family is only available in Colombia and Ireland at this time."

but it looks to be what I'm after:

"When you share with Friends & Family, the primary account holder and up to four additional members each get their own unique access to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games, content, and benefits, regardless of what device they play on. All the people you invite can play at the same time, even the same game."

Oh, if this is the family game pass, it's different, but what you will be able to share is just the game pass library and not the games that you own. I'm sorry for that.

As per the Xbox support site:

"With the Friends & Family plan, all five members enjoy the benefits of Game Pass Ultimate, with their own unique access to all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate games, content, and benefits, regardless of what device they play on. All the people you invite can play at the same time—you can even play together in the same game. Plus, you can include friends and family outside your household."

Put the xbox game pass ultimate under one of their accounts. So for example.. Son#1 has game pass ultimate make his home xbox as the xbox that son#2 uses that way anyone that uses that xbox can use the game pass ultimate without having him sign in since its his home xbox.. what this means is make the xbox one x son#1 home console.. then have son#1 play on the xbox one and have son#2 play on the xbox one X or vice versa.. this is the only way they can both play at the same time using one game pass ultimate account. Because son#1 will have to sign into the xbox one so he can play therefore it wont kick anyone out of the game pass on the xbox one x since thats his home xbox. If theres another way i dont know about it. Because we have 3 xboxs and we can use 2 of them this way at the same time so my son and daughter can both play against each other but unfortunately theres no way to do it on more then 2. It sucks for family's with more then 2 xboxs also sucks when you have more then 2 ppl that want to use the game pass ultimate at the same time. Microsoft needs to change this, my suggestion would be for them to make a family game pass ultimate subscription where you can add your family members up to say 5 or 6 members to your family subscription and they can use game pass ultimate anywhere anytime. That would be nice. But unfortunately this is what we are stuck with for now. Maybe it'll change in the future

I think they should think about families and bring back the family pass or let two xbox on the same network to use one gold for family members 👍
