    Share access to PC Game Pass


    I have access to PC Game Pass on my Windows PC on my own account billed monthly. I want to give access to this to my son who also uses my PC on a different user. We do not have an Xbox, and do not intent on buying an Xbox. How can I give him access to the PC Game Pass in his own user? The only route I can see is to have him pay for another Game Pass or get an Xbox and we can share it based on using the same Xbox (but not using the same PC?)

    :)

    I have an Xbox X with ultimate, my son uses his Xbox no issues but how can my son use it on his new gaming laptop?

    PC game pass and cloud gaming are only accessible to the primary account holder, which I assume is you

    Only console subs share

    Share access to PC Game Pass

    Hi Nazir. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    To share PC Game Pass, you'll need to sign into your Microsoft account on the Microsoft Store on your son's user. Your son's account remains signed into the Xbox app, and from there he should be able to access Game Pass titles.

    Open the Microsoft Store, click on the profile picture in the top right. Then, click sign out. Sign back in using your account details.

    Please reach back if you have further questions.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Using Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription on a child PC. Why is it impossible?

    Games are only shared on consoles via the Xbox "Home" feature. There is no such feature on PC. Other than sharing access to your games and Xbox Live on consoles, the other features of Game Pass Ultimate are only for the subscriber.

    Unable to download any EA Play games through game pass.

    Just to be clear here, you have Game Pass Ultimate and not just Game Pass for PC right? Access to EA Play is only for the actual accounts that have purchased Game Pass Ultimate and is not a feature that can be shared amongst accounts.

    Is there a way to play Minecraft without logging in to the Microsoft store with the right Microsoft account ?

    To play Minecraft on a Windows PC, you typically need to be logged into the Microsoft Store with the account that owns the game. This is due to the way Microsoft manages game licenses and user authentication.

    However, if you have Minecraft through Xbox Game Pass, and your Windows 11 account has access to Game Pass, you can play Minecraft without switching accounts. Game Pass allows for family sharing, so as long as the account with Game Pass is set as the home account on your PC, all profiles on that PC can access its games.
