    Other profiles can't use GamePass features


    I have a GamePass Ultimate subscription. My kids can usually download and play games on our home XBox (we only have the one). But my son is trying to play Battlefield V, and he keeps getting an error that we don't have GamePass Ultimate. In fact, if he isn't
    actually logged into my profile (not just my profile logged into the device) he is prompted to re-purchase the game and EA pass. To play, he must be logged in as me.

    I thought that if it was my subscription and my home Xbox, I could share all the features with the other profiles that log into my console. Has something changed?

    :)

    Game Pass Ultimate

    You can't

    Home share is a console only feature

    To use gamepass on pc you must be signed into the xbox store with the purchasing profile

    And can't be used offline

    Also a profile can only be signed in in one place at a time

    This is NOT an issue with series s as home console allows profiles ob the console to use it

    Need to change my Gameratag email address

    You can't merge accounts ever on any server it is a security risk

    You can download other games from your store profile but you cannot use your gamrsaves from the other profile

    I think you are mistaking the proccess

    One you only need to be signed into the gamepass account in the XBOX App to download the games from gamepass

    You only need to sign in on the store profile with your gamrsaves if you need to download from that store profiles games and to play those games saves

    You aren't downloading any new profiles you are only accessing to profiles from within the xbox app

    Whenever you choose to use the gamepass profile for saves well you just made it harder

    So as long as you don't use gamrsaves or certain features like gamepass ultimate cloud play you will be fine with only the original account

    Cloud requires the account with the subscription

    Xbox Gamepass on pc share

    You don't gameshare is only a console feature

    You can however use gamepass by signing into the gamepass app on your pc

    If you have other users they MUST sign into your account to download any game and resign in on their own profile to use any games on your pc

    Managing Xbox live subscriptions on two consoles

    That's how every console works

    Only the home console allows every profile to connect with one membership however as switches mentioned

    Only the gold profile can roam to a 2Nd console to use gold features

    Any other profile can roam but can't use gold features while not at home console however if that console had a separate home gold they can share it temporarily with that profile but since your 2Nd console isn't a home gold only the gold member can be used
    on it with gold

    The silver free members can only be used on the home console for gold or a friends home gold console temporarily

    They can't use home gold features any other wsy

    Xbox All Access: Is the Gamepass Ultimate that comes with this purchase tied to the console only?

    What do mean tied to your profile? Then it becomes a subscription, just like any other gamepass version. When it becomes a subscription it will mean I can play any gamepass games using that profile on other consoles?
