Sharing Gamepass Ultimate Subscription with other users on the same Xbox

Are they able to play the games you've downloaded? Are they able to play online?

They won't show the icon in the corner since they don't have a subscription on their accounts.

Thanks, to be honest I thought this may have been an issue with the shared subscription. That when a user has the Gold that comes with Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Gamepass Ultimate, that when one user attempts to play online, then another user sharing that same subscription tries to play online with the same person is causes subscription authentication issues perhaps. So if you don't have live gold that comes with Xbox Gamepass Ultimate or just Gamepass which does not come with gold, it is trying to use your friend's subscription verification on your account while they are already using it.

However, if you both have access to Xbox live gold then that probably isn't happening. Could you clarify if you have just Gamepass or Xbox GamePass Ultimate?

Thank you,

Currently there is no way to share Gamepass Ultimate PC with others in the same way that you can on console.

Adding someone to the "family" doesn't give them access to anything. The only way to share GPU is to have the account with the subscription sign in to whichever console you wish to share to.

But my brothers account is in the Microsoft family and that's how he gets Gamepass Ultimate. We don't use the home Xbox function to share Gamepass with each other.

I'm in the same boat and would love to have a Family Ultimate Gamepass that could be shared over 3 (or 4)

Xboxes in the same house.

unfortunately only 1 Xbox can be set as Home for a profile so it's best to set the Xbox that is most used as Home and have Ultimate Gamepass on the profiles that use the other 2 consoles.

if you do have to cancel 1 of the subscriptions, the profile that has UGP can sign in on 1 of the non-Home consoles then Switch User to allow both your boys to play at the same time (but then you wouldn't be able to play at the same time as them).

I recommend getting the MS Rewards app and doing the Gamepass quests to save up enough MS Reward Points to exchange for Live Gold, Gamepass or Ultimate Gamepass subscriptions.

you can donate 1000 points per month to another family member which means if all 3 of you do as many quests as possible, you should be able to keep at least 1 subscription going just from MS Rewards and save £15 per month.

you can also earn more points by going to https://account.microsoft.com/rewards/

hope this helps
