Microsoft Family: Does it share Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Games with the other family members?

Hi TheJackah,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. As the question has been answered, I will go ahead and lock this thread to prevent repetitive answers.

Okay - thank you. It would be nice for Microsoft to consolidate this!

The family settings do not effect sharing of content. That would be the Home setting. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox
You can share games/gold with any other profile that is using your Home console. Game Pass itself does not share, but the games downloaded from it do.

From what I understand Games Pass isn't a sharable thing, and because Xbox Gold has come with Games Pass it also mustn't be shareable, because of this, Microsoft is rumoured to be bringing out a family plan for Games Pass so it can be shared with family members.

Hopefully this will be officially announced soon as I think a lot of families out there would make use of it.

Hi Barry!

Thanks for reaching Microsoft Community. We're here to help and let's work on this together.

Yes, your son and daughter can both use the same Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. The subscription allows for up to six family members to access the games and benefits included in the subscription.



To set this up, you will need to create a Microsoft family group and add both your son and daughter to the group. Once they are added, you can share the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription with the family group.



To share the subscription, sign in to your Microsoft account and go to the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate page. From there, select "Manage" and then "Share to a family member." Choose the family member you want to share with and follow the prompts to complete the process.



Your son and daughter will then be able to access the games and benefits included in the subscription on their respective devices.

Please let us know how it goes.



Greetings,

RodelioP.
