    Shared Games / Gold. No multiplayer access ?!


    So my brothers Xbox is set to my home Xbox. I have access to his games, and had access to his Xbox Gold. Everything was working good since but for the last week I haven't been able to join multiplayer or parties. I still have his digital games though.

    :)

    When sharing your Gold subscription, what are the specific gold benefits you get?

    When you share gold the accounts that are sharing the gold get access to online multiplayer. Only the account that purchases the gold gets access to things like gold discounts or games with gold games. However, the games with gold games can be shared once
    downloaded.

    Do I need xbox live sub?

    Your friends may be pulling your leg. Although some services no longer require a gold membership (access to some apps and chat) you still need gold to play online multiplayer. Odds are they had added a trial membership which allows limited access to gold
    features including multiplayer but it doesn't show up as a gold membership.

    Also, on the Xbox One a gold membership can be shared through the family. This means that if one person has a membership then they can share it with family members on the same console. This may also be the case here.

    Gold-Sharing?

    not sure on the gold account for the multiplayer access but the games sharing can definitly be on different xboxes

    Can't download games with gold

    There is no family subscriptions any more. Are you game sharing to your console, which gives you access to multiplayer and games, but does not give you the option to get games with gold. Only the gold subscriber can do that.

    Questions re: Xbox One Gold and Easy Access

    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.

    if you set your xbox to a “home Xbox” do you have to pay more for gold if you have a second account?

    Just to explain it a bit better, as there are a lot of misunderstandings on how Gold sharing works:

    You share your Gold membership to your "Home Console".

    Everyone on that console can benefit from your Gold Membership at no additional costs. They can use Party Chat and play online Multiplayer, as long as they play on your "Home Console".

    Their account is NOT a full Gold member. If they sign in on a different console, that is not the Home Console of a Gold membership owner, they are unable to play Multiplayer.

    Also, even when they play on a Home Console with Gold membership, they do NOT get access to the Games with Gold or the Deals with Gold.

    You just have to know, that you share your Gold and games to a CONSOLE. Not individual accounts! That console will then share your games and Gold memberships with anyone playing on that console at no additional costs for you.
