Playing multiple Xbox's with same account in same household

SteveCous · Jun 27, 2021

Both my daughter and I have been playing different games with saved progress under my Xbox account on the same Xbox. I have recently bought a second Xbox. We are unable to play games at the same time while logged in under the same account needed to load game progress. We don't want to have to start these games again. I understand I could create a second account and use 'Game sharing' to allow playing both games at the same time but is there anyway to play different games under the same account at the same time on separate consoles?

Thanks

:)

No. There's no way to play at the same time on the same account on multiple consoles.

unfortunately, as you can only have 1 Xbox designated as your Home Xbox you will need 2 subscriptions for 3 Xboxes.

I'd love it if there was a Family Live Gold/Game Pass subscription as I'm in a similar situation to you.

1 thing you can do to save money on the subscriptions is to use MS Rewards (https://account.microsoft.com/rewards/)

there is also an app on Xbox for earning Reward Points and points can also be earned through Game Pass.

if you click on the Community link just under the banner you can add your daughters to your Family Group to be able to share points earned with each other.

I have already done this. What about a console C

For console C, this may be able to help you out: https://support.xbox.com/help/subsc...bscriptions/share-xbox-live-gold-subscription

Hello! Depending on which console is able to connect to Xbox Live, you need to set the second consoles Home Xbox to your own. More information to do this can be found here & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDtQRLJaY4k&vl=en.

For a guide on how to do it here:

1. Console B (The one without gold) will need to add Console A's account (The account with Gold) onto their Xbox, Console B.

2. Follow the steps included above on how set your console to "My Home Xbox."

3. Once this is done, Console B should be able to connect online.

You can find other explanations and help about this on a past forum post here.
