I've got two Xbox's, do I have to have 2 Lives?

Schfartz · Dec 24, 2017

So like the title says. I want to be able to go online on both of them. Would I need to have 2 accounts for it, or does the family setting have something to do with it? So say I'm on the X1X, and someone in my family is on the X1 we'd both have access to
Online?

I have two XBOX's. I have to recover my profile each time.

You can use a USB Drive that the Xbox 360 supports and transfer it to that. Just put it in the Xbox you're going to use when you're playing on it.

Hi there,

If both consoles are Xbox Ones (either original, S, or X), each user will need an account, but only one would need a Live subscription.

If Account A has the Live subscription, it will need to make the console the other account will primarily use, it's home console (we'll call it Console B). On Console B, all the games and the live subscription will be shared with all accounts on
the console. Account A can then play on console A, provided it can connect to the Live servers and play it's games while Account B is on Console B.

More info can be found here.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll have a go at this when I have access to both consoles - many thanks and Happy Holidays

You can only share on 1 console at a time. In order to use everything Account A has on both consoles, you would either need to use that account or it would need to be signed in on the non-Home console at the same time you're using it. Otherwise, you would need to purchase things on your account in order to play on any console.

She will only have gold on the console you have set as the home console. If she only plays on one console then set that as your home console.

This is done in settings app

So she can be on the home console with gold privies, and I can still game under my tag on the other at the same time? Just making sure. :-D
