Sharing across multiple xboxs in one house

D0CT0RJK · Feb 3, 2020

I have three xboxs in my house, one for me and one each for my two sons. These are set up and have gamertags under three separate email accounts. I am a gamepass ultimate subscriber.

Is it possible for my sons to both access gamespass on their xboxs using my single ultimate subscription?

Thanks!

Correct. You would set one of their consoles as your Home and then you can sign into a different console and still access your content. If you've set theirs as your Home and then it didn't seem to work, try going a hard reset (hold down the ppwer button
on the console until it turns off, unplug it, plug it back in, then turn it back on)

Yes and no. You can share your subscription via the Home setting, but you can only have 1 console set as your Home at a time. So they could access it if they use that console. In order to use all 3 consoles at once, you would need at least 2 subscriptions.

Thanks! I suspected that this was the case.

So my understanding is that I log in onto one of my sons xboxs and set that as my 'HOME' xbox there. I have tried this a few times but can never get it to work for some reason. I must be doing something out of step.

Hi, you can share with multiple accounts on one xbox. But game sharing and live ect is restricted to one other console in the house.

i have 6 xbox one consoles and i have to pay for 3 copies of games and 3 subs as i have 5 kids and one in the front room. i know the ins and outs of how sharing works in the home, hence the reason i have to get 3 of each.

it is better on pc though as i can share one purchase among all the gaming pc's in my house without any issues except for ONE game, that is sea of thieves which after playing with my son on the game would kick us off the network for licence issues. that is the one game that causes this so i bought multiple copies.
