Questions re: Xbox One Gold and Easy Access

ok couple of things to add to what Smwutches has said and some helpful links.

1. You definitely want them to have their own accounts so that they have their own progress in games and so if they want to play at the same time on the two different consoles they can.

2. You can set a console as a profiles home console and any digital game that profile purchased and any subscription that profile has can be shared with any profile on that console. Link for info on home xbox:

3. EA access think of as a Netflix type subscription for EA games Here is a link for info on that: this subscription can be bought at a yearly price of 29.99

4. Microsoft also has what is called the game pass which again is like a Netflix subscription but for all xbox games not just EA games like the EA access subscription. this right now can only be purchased monthly for 9.99

now with the 2 game pass type subscriptions like Netflix removes some movies and tv shows from their service so does Microsoft and EA

You can only sign into an account on one console at a time. So in order for them to play at the same time, they would each need their own account. Also, sharing accounts is actually a violation of the code of conduct. They can share games and gold though
through the Home setting.

I think by Easy Access you mean EA Access. Technically you don't need both EA Access and gold. EA Access just lets you have access to EA games for free or discounts on their games. A gold subscription is what allows you to play online multiplayer, access
Games with Gold, and access Deals with Gold.

Hello there,

Thank you for posting on Xbox Forums. Just to clarify, you cancelled Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold and now you cannot access Xbox live Gold? Did you cancel the subscriptions through the website? When you cancel Xbox Live Gold you
will lose access to Online capabilities and won't be able to play until you re-establish the subscription.

If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back letting us know. Thank you again for posting on Xbox Forums.

Once you no longer have Gold you lose access to the GWG games. However when you re-up your Gold you will have access to them again, the ones you already downloaded that are no longer free.

Hi there,

As your friend purchased the games, he will have to re-purchase a Gold subscription to access the games again. Xbox 360 titles are to keep permanently, but you lose access to the Xbox One games if your
subscription lapses. If you re-subscribe, your friend will have access again.

To access the games yourself, you will have needed to redeem the games to your account, where you will have a license for each.

Hope this helps,
