    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. Multiple users on Xbox :)

    I have a young adult son for whom we just purchased an xbox one s. We live in the same home, but I am for all intents and purposes, the admin on our family account. I understand that you need to watch for licensing etc., but I have purchased two complete
    copies of Destiny, one for the old xbox and one for the new xbox one s, and it's still telling him that the person who purchased the item has to be signed in. For a work around, we just leave me signed in all the time, but I think you guys need to rethink
    how this will be handled in the future. I purchase games, my son might purchase the DLC, depending on who is totally hooked on the game at the moment and/or has money in their account. I made absolutely sure that we would own two separate licenses for Destiny,
    since it's a game we would like to play together. For other games, only one of us would play at a time, so just like a book, whomever is using it.

    Thank you for reading my rant. As technology advances, and life situations are changing (more adults living at home, more husbands and wives who enjoy gaming together etc) The companies that provide those technologies will have no choice but to change also.
    I for one don't mind spending the extra for dual licenses, if it means we both get to enjoy it.

    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.

    XBOX Gamepass for PC -- Multiple users

    I understand that. If we each have own own individual Gamepass subscriptions, can they play the games I have downloaded? I don't want to have 3 copies of the same game on my hard drive.
