Hi there,

Xbox Live Gold and Game pass can be shared on the Home console for the account that has the subscriptions.

Which means that any other account on that console can benefit from the features of the subscriptions.

As far as I know it doesn't matter if it's a child account or adult account that has the subscriptions as long as the account with the subscriptions has set the console as their Home console.

Keep in mind that only One console can be set as Home console, and the sharing for Gold and Gamepass will thus only work on that console.

When the account with the subscriptions logs in on another console that account will be able to use the Gold and Gamepass features there too, but it won't be shared on that console.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask

You're welcome! Have you tried to use the Game Pass to see if it will work? Just for us to know if it is successfully shared. If it is being shared, the features of it should be on your account now.

Meaning you should be able to download Xbox Game Pass games, play online, etc. If this has worked then the subscription benefits is already being shared. Only the owner of the subscription can see and manage where the subscription is being shared.

Hi, my name is Annanda, thank you for your question and for reaching out.

Let's say you have 2 consoles and 2 accounts, okay? 1 account has a subscription, while the other does not. What you need to do is, on the console that is going to be played with the account that DOES NOT have the subscription, first you need to log in with the account that has the subscription and set it as Home Xbox. Then, on the console that is going to be with the account that has a subscription, you do not set it as Home Xbox, because it does not need to be enabled to play on the account that has the subscription.

This is called Game Share, it enables the possibility to share, for example, access to Game Pass games and Online features on an account that does not have the subscription. So if 1 child has the subscription while the other does not, you log in with the account of the child that has the subscription on the console of the child that does not only enable Home Xbox, that way the child that does not have the subscription can play the games downloaded through the account of the child that has, and also use Online features.

Now if the subscription is on your account, you cannot share it with both, okay? Only with the one that is on the console that is set as Home Xbox.

Here is how you enable Home Xbox:

" Press the Xbox button  on your controller to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My Home Xbox.

Do either of the following to change the status of your console:

To make this your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.

To remove this console as your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox and then Remove this as my home Xbox. "

Happy Holidays!

But that does not mean that both accounts will have the subscription, okay? Just the one that subscribes will have it, while the other can share some of the features.

I hope I was able to answer your questions! Please, if you have any other doubts, we are here to help.

If the reply was helpful, please don’t forget to upvote or accept as an answer, thank you.

Hi there,

It's best to have each user have their own account.

On an Xbox One, you only need one account with a Live subscription. The account that has the subscription can make a console it's home console so games and the Live subscription will be shared with all users on that console. More info can be found here:
