Playing Minecraft with my kids? (separate gamertags - on separate devices)

Hello there!

Regarding your question, yes you can totally play with your kids Minecraft at the same time, as long as you are using separate accounts for them; Meaning that you have your own account with your own gamertag and they have their own account with their own gamertags.

You will also need to make sure that you allow their accounts to go on multiplayer gaming. In order to remove any restrictions, please visit this link Manage Xbox online safety and privacy settings | Xbox Support.

If you are using Xbox consoles and they do not own the game and you do, you can use the home console feature so that you can share the license on their consoles; However you can only use the home Xbox feature on one Xbox.

Hi, Your kids trying play the game in both devices with same account?

No they have separate accounts.

The issue here is related to platform licensing differences, Minecraft Bedrock Edition on mobile (tablet) and Bedrock Edition on Windows PC are technically separate purchases, even though they’re both part of the Bedrock ecosystem.

If you want to play on both devices, you’ll need to purchase Minecraft for Windows separately.

Hi there, RopeyAlarm7554;

If I read your question correctly, you purchased Minecraft 360 Edition and would like to use your Xbox purchase to access the PC version of the game. Unfortunately, that cannot be done. PC and console versions of games are separate. This is just like having
to purchase a separate version of a game if you wanted to play it on a different console. This is because the hardware and software are different between devices. Sorry, but you'll need to get a separate copy of the PC version of Minecraft if you wish to play
it on your PC.

Yes two players with separate gamertags can play on one console, depending on the game of course. For example two separate gamertags can play on Call of Duty Black Ops 2 split screen.
