  1. Newbie setting up 2 xbox one s - help with sharing


    Hi. I have bought 2x Xbox One S for our family of 6. One in the livingroom (for the whole family) and one upstairs (for the older kids). We each have our own xbox account set up on both machines.

    How can I share bought games - downloaded and disc - and game pass on both consoles? Are these things even possible?

    Advise for dummies please. I'm new to xbox!

    :)

    Gamepass isnt shareable ill explain jn a min

    And only one console can be designated as home comsole on the non home console only the purchasing account can play the games but must be signed in onto xbox live

    Now the gamepass issue

    As mentioned it cant be shared however if you click install from the gamepass library the home consile users can install those on the home console

    But they cant make purchases only the account with the gamepass can

    Not sure if game pass can be shared but if you have xbox live gold you would only need one subscription on the xbox you designate as "Home" disc is easy to share so long as the disc is in the xbox that will be playing the game any user can play the game
    freely because it is a disc. Downloaded is different and can be done the profile of the person who downloaded the digital game has to be on the same xbox with the person trying to play the digital game which is game sharing.

    If you want to share games you will need to set the accounts as home consoles on each others consoles.

    Account 1 will need to have Xbox 2 as its home account and vice versa.

    This will enable games bought on account 1 to be used on Xbox2 and games on account 2 to be used on Xbox1

    You can use the My Home Xbox feature to share xbox live and games. You say you have several different accounts, are these all paying Xbox Live or just one account. I f it is just one account, then set one Xbox as that persons home Xbox, so say it is you,
    set the upsairs one as home Xbox for the older kids and then just stay signed in on the one downstairs for all the family. Just add a paskey to your account. https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

    Edit: You can only share digital content, disk games would need a disk for each console or just play only on one console at a time.

    Xbox Live Gold Sharing Issues

    Hey there JJRYAN,

    Sorry to hear you are running into these problems with the Xbox Live Gold Sharing features. If only your account has the Xbox Live subscription then you are only able to share it to 1 Xbox One Console. In this case since you have it set up under Son#1's
    console, then under Son#2's console will not benefit off of your Subscription.

    Since you are only able to set the Home Console to One console at a time this won't be possible unless you purchase Gold for One of their accounts.

    If you do not play video games under your account then one thing you can do is purchase gold under one of their accounts. This way the account that has Xbox Live Gold can set up the Home console on the other device to share the gold.

    I hope this helps.
