Multiple users on just one account, without paying subscriptions multiple times

Hi there! This is Ronnie, an independent advisor.

Nice to meet you and I hope you are having a great day!

I understand you wanted to play multiple accounts on the gaming hub.

Just a heads up since this is more likely using a cloud gaming set up, this does not support local multiplayer. You can only play games on one account at a time as long as they are subscribed to the membership.

I don't know if you understood, but I wasn't talking about local multiplayer, but about two players playing on two accounts at a time, each with their own account, you know? Without having to make the monthly payment twice. An example is those multi-user settings that consoles have, you can create multiple users and have different progress in games, you understand me?

There is unfortunately no replacement for this on Xbox 360. If you want multiple profiles to access Gold features, you need multiple Gold subscriptions.

However, on Xbox One there is Home Gold which means all users enjoy the benefits of Gold, so long as just one user actually has a Gold account.

How long has this been going on? I just went through the same thing, I have multiple profile on my account and I can sign into the ones without a live subscription.... I guess that makes sense now that I said it.. is there a time estimate posted somewhere?

First off, you don't need to pay the full $60 for each subscription. If you are, stop. There are deals that can found all the time if you look. Prices usually range from $30-$40.

Second, I'm not sure if you plan on upgrading to the XboxOne or not, but if you are, no need to worry about buying multiple subscriptions. On the new xbox, multiple accounts will be able to use a single live subscription. So, it's basically the same as a
