one xbox account ooon two machines?

shepsterboy123 · Oct 19, 2017

HI

I have an Xbox one account that my two children currently share on one Xbox one. Now they need an xbox each and my youngest does not want to lose all his FIFA progress. Is there a way I can either share the one account over 2 XBOXs (they will both most
likely want to play it at the same time), or does one of them need to start again!

thanks

:)

Ea Access Question

I have two different account on my Xbox one for me and one for my son. If I got ea access on one of the accounts could the other account play those games.

The other account could play the games but they'd need to be on your account to download any EA Access games or to get the 10% discount on EA games.

You can't sign into the same account at the same time on two consoles. So if they will be playing at the same time, one of them will need a new account.

Hello. Two separate accounts, two machines. NAT 's are set to Open. Help needed please.

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate works in up to two locations

a) The declared Home machine of the Game Pass Ultimate owner

b) Whichever machine the Game Pass Ultimate owner is currently logged into

In the case of b) , the Game Pass Ultimate does not need to be the active user. You could have two users logged in and while the owner is logged in, the other user on that non-Home machine will be able to play as well (or instead as long as the owner remains
logged in - active or inactive)

So you could give the Game Pass Ultimate to one son but get him to declare the other son's machine as his home machine.

There are gotchas

- the non "Home" machine must always be internet connected. No internet, no Game Pass Ultimate. The Home machine will always work regardless (but may need internet from time to time for confirmation)

- be careful with changing Home machine too often - there is a limit on how many times you can declare a machine as "Home" - 5 changes per year at the moment.

Xbox 360 and Xbox 1 (and PC) are treated separately ; so you could set up 2 x Xbox1 and 2 x Xbox 360 using the one Game Pass Ultimate account with one Xbox 1 and one Xbox 360 each declared as "Home".

A user can only be logged in to one Xbox 1 AND one XBox 360 (and PC as well) at the same time

I hope this helps.. For myself, we have an Xbox 1 X , an Xbox 1, and an Xbox 360 all with a single Xbox Game Pass Ultimate account. All can be used at the same time as long as I am logged onto the XBox 1 X (which is NOT declared as a "Home" machine and I
am the Pass owner)

I hope that this helps you

Hmm i'm pretty sure the recent update for the 360 was supposed to allow chat between the two machines

Nope.

The 360 update now shows friends that are online playing xbox one.

The two machines use completely different codecs for chat.

We were. We had only one Game Pass Ultimate account. My machine was designated as being his home machine and his machine was designated as being mine. That's the recommendation I'd seen about to have full access to the owned library from both. Apparently
Microsoft doesn't like that.

The machines we each play on have now been designated as our respective home machines and we are on two separate Ultimate accounts. So far it's letting me play Borderlands 3 although it was purchased under his account and my
machine is no longer designated as his home machine. Worst case I figure I'll just buy the bundle again under mine if it stops letting me play it.
