    Multiple gamertags for one user


    Is it against Microsoft's policy to have multiple gamertags or Microsoft accounts for one person on a family account? I am asking because I would like to have one gamertag for playing with my family and one for gaming with people I've met online. This is
    probably a simple question but I have searched and searched and could not find a clear answer for my specific question. So basically am I allowed to have/create 2 gamertags with different email addresses for myself on my family account. If so how do I do it?
    Do I just add my other email address to where it says add a family member?

    :)

    Hey there AwareTen, if both of your boys want to be able to play games online then you would need two gold accounts or they could share an account if thats the way you want to go. Another option which may be appropriate for your family situation is to set
    up a family gold subscription. This will allow you to retain parental control, and allow for yourself, and your two boys to have a gold membership at a discounted rate :)

    Here is the page for the FAQ to the family subscription.

    Multiple xboxes, multiple users.

    Hey there -

    The Xbox One has the
    Home Console
    system which is designed for families with multiple users/consoles to share games across consoles without needing to purchase the same game multiple times. Making sure that is set up correctly should alleviate many of the issues you're outlining
    regarding sharing games.

    Regarding Destiny and needing to be logged in - Do you own multiple copies of the game digitally or on disc? If it's a digital copy, double check that your purchase for the game went through using the account in question's
    Microsoft Commerce account or the account's

    My Games
    section.

    Let us know if that helps or if you have other questions we can help with. :)

    It does take some time to update all accross the system.

    I suggest you restart your device, then open the Minecraft app and it should resync to the system with the new Gamertag.
