Multiple Xboxes in one house

Ardew Disku · Jan 2, 2017

Our son got an Xbox One for Christmas, and we are about to get one free a new family room. This will make 3 xboxes in the house (my original is in there already).

Is there a way to share my original Gold membership without it signing others out when another one is turned on? I may be willing to get my son his own Gold membership, but probably not a 3rd one for the family box. If it weren't for all the dang games
requiring online access it wouldn't matter but half the games are unplayable without Internet.

"Home xbox" doesn't really help because it needs to sign in on a different box each time one is used, ending the other person's session.

One House, Multiple XBOXes, Multiple Accounts

As what has been already state, just use a usb stick to carry the accounts you want from room to room. Also, you can merge your three accounts into one family account and it will be cheaper than what youa re paying for the two, plus you get to add a fourth
account if you want

One House, Multiple XBOXes, Multiple Accounts

You can't have the same account on multiple Xboxs at the same time so you couldn't have your current account on your den xbox and living room xbox at the same time. Best solution would be to put your profiles on USB sticks and use them when you want to
play on a different console.

Just to add to the above: If you live in the Republic of Ireland or Columbia, they are trialing a family plan for up to 5 people on a single plan. Obviously, no use to you if you don't reside in one of those countries but it may be expanded to other countries in the future (still in pilot phase at the moment)

Hello TippierAtol4325, sorry to hear you're having trouble

At the moment the only option you'd have would be to buy extra copies of the GamePass and games on an account that doesn't already own them and then share that account to a different console that is not already shared to.

That should take care of 4 consoles. The fifth would need to have one of the accounts that owns the games and GamePass signed in while it's used.

I would also like to recommend getting some external hard drives (if you don't already have any) for extra storage. You can use a USB 3.0 hard drive up to 16 TB for extra game storage. Another good function of the external drive is that it can be moved between consoles so you can just copy any already downloaded games to save bandwidth

I am also very interested in this and I have to assume that MS is headed to the ability to have the same account on multiple boxes simply because of their huge push with video content. I have four xbox 360's that I use for media distribution and gaming
in my house. I'm killing my cable TV next week because I get the news online and everything I want to see from cable is online with the XBox live (or it will be soon). The fact that I have to walk around my house with a USB stick is ridiculous and I can't
imagine that MS isn't going to resolve this soon. We have a full windows domain and wired bandwidth throughout the house and the Xbox as a media head makes a ton of sense.
