Pc and Xbox Game Pass Simultaneously??

iTz Onyx4676 · Dec 20, 2022

So I have game pass ultimate on my PC and I’ve had it for a long time. Recently I just bought an Xbox series S and signed in thinking that the game pass would automatically work and transfer over. However when I signed in it was trying to get me to buy a game pass again even though if I go to my PC it says I own it. It doesn’t even show up in my subscriptions on my Xbox. I’m not paying for another subscription for a game pass but I don’t know how to get it to work on both devices …

Please make sure to sign in to the account that has the subscription and check if your Game Pass Ultimate is active by following the steps below;

- Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

If it's showing as active, kindly resync your Xbox profile to your console by following the steps below. Make sure that you know your account logins before doing these steps.

REMOVE PROFILE:

To remove a profile: From Profile & system, select Settings > Account > Remove accounts. Select a profile, then select Remove.

POWER CYCLE CONSOLE:

To restart your console: Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller, and then select Restart console > Restart. To power cycle your console if it's frozen: Press and hold the Xbox button on your controller for 10 seconds. Then press the Xbox button on the console or on your controller to turn your console back on.

RE-ADD PROFILE:

To add an Xbox profile to a console, press the Xbox button to open the guide and go to Profile & system. Select Add or switch, and then select Add new and follow the instructions.

According to a thread from 2020:

"2) One Ultimate will cover it. You can log into the MS store on both PCs. There is a limit to the number of logins you can do at once, but its more than 2."

The poster was asking about 2 pcs and an Xbox so ignore any Xbox stuff in the thread:

There's also a Reddit with the same question being asked:

If my friend wanted to use my Game Pass on PC, they could easily employ the same workaround I've already described, the current implementation doesn't prevent sharing.

They should allow you to sign into the Xbox app with whatever account you want, and then limit the number of devices Game Pass can be logged into simultaneously.

Instead I'm stuck with their current implementation that prevents me from easily using it on my own PC.

Yes, you can redeem them simultaneously. But I highly recommend redeeming your 3 months PC Game Pass first then redeeming your 2 months Game Pass Ultimate. In that way, your 3 months of PC Game Pass will be converted to Game Pass Ultimate so you'll get a total of 5 months of Game Pass Ultimate.

Hi Kelly.

You can use Game Pass on two devices; there's no need to purchase a second Game Pass. The only thing to keep in mind is that you can't play the same title simultaneously on both devices.

Of course, we are talking about Game Pass Ultimate and using the account where the pass is active. You can find additional information about Game Pass Ultimate at
