Please help! Sharing games pass games with my children when linked as a family

HanBro1 · Jan 6, 2020

Totally and utterly new to to this. Bought an xbox 1 for Christmas and i have two disappointed children every time they play as I personally have to log in to play any games.

We have a games pass linked to my account.

I have set up a family account with myself and 2 children, but when you log in as a child you can't seem to get any of the games.

I know it will be operator error but emotions are running high, can anyone please guide me?!

Million thanks in advance to making our weekend a happy one!

Million thanks for your simple instruction, just what i needed! Worked first time=end of arguments! I hope someone does you a favour today and i will certainly be ‘paying forwards’ your favour!

You should check to make sure that the Xbox is set as your home Xbox. That should allow games to be shared with any other accounts on that console without you needing to log in.
