    Microsoft disabled LAN play for our own home network, both parties need an Xbox Live Gold...


    For years we have played on 2 xboxes, 1 of us hosts and the other one joins. We are on the same network in the same house. As of April 3rd, 2025 Microsoft decided they weren't making enough money so now we both need a Xbox Live Gold subscription to play on a server on our own LAN network.

    Absolutely absurd!

    We have no information about the change in policy, but this is speculation based on existing policies

    Just like remote players lock down to make sure that people don't run their own rental service, this is potentially the case here. You would have to contact Mojang for any details on any potential policy. Minecraft piracy is epidemic.

    Playing the same game at the same time on seperate consoles on family set up

    you both need your own accounts.

    you will also need Live Gold on one of the accounts unless you have Ultimate Gamepass which includes Live Gold

    player 1 (has Gamepass/Rocket League) makes Xbox B their Home Xbox then plays on Xbox A

    player 2 plays on Xbox B

    player 2 can make Xbox A their Home Xbox so that any games purchased on their account can be played by player 1 on Xbox A

    2 Xbox One w/ 2 accounts and 1 Xbox Live Gold

    You can login to Live with your existing Gold membership, but if you're each on your own Home consoles you will both need your own Live memberships in order to play together over Xbox Live.

    Party chat not working, NAT is Open

    Hey there dalein,

    Apologies for the delay! So I just noticed you are posting from a Silver account, is that the account you are trying to party chat with? Xbox Live party chat requires Xbox Live Gold.

    Is there anyone that uses your console that has Xbox Live Gold? If so, you can use the party chat feature while that user has the Xbox One console set as their home console or you will need to sign up for Xbox Live Gold. You can refer to our

    Xbox One Party Chat
    support page and our
    Xbox One Home
    page for more information.

    Xbox Gold

    If your dad gets gold and sets the Xbox as his home Xbox, you won,t need gold on your account anymore.

    If you have two xbox's, you can both get gold and you could set yourXbox as his home Xbox and his Xbox as your home. This setup would allow both of you to install/play both games that he owns and games you own on either of the consoles.
