Sharing Xbox Live Pass with family members on two different consoles

Thanks for this helpful explanation.

This is what i dont understand though... I have the setup you outlined above with Profile 1 (XBL pass holder) signed in on console 1, Profile 2 signed in on console 2 (set as home console). It allows them to use games from my account/pass on both consoles...

But

Up until a last month, they were both setup on these two consoles under 2 different profiles and they WERE able to play same or different game(s) at same time. It only prevented us doing this if they were both signed in to same profile. But if they were using their seperate profiles on different consoles, it was no issue.

Im not sure why since my XBL pass accidently got cancelled and restarted, this issue is happening.

Can i confirm... You are saying it is NOT possible for them both be playing a game on different profiles / different consoles at same time?

No profile 2 wouldnt be able to use on console one unless profile one is signed in online and profile 2 would be a guest and cannot get acheivements

Only profile 1 can roaming with any purchased game or dlc

Well that's not how home console works

Ok so let's call your profile profile 1 and your xbox one x console 1

Your son profile is profile 2 and console 2 for thr xbox one

Since profile 1 is gold console 2 MUST BE set to home console for profile 1 and profile 2 can use the gold from that and be signed into his own profile 2

HOWEVER gold is NOT required on fortnite or any f2p games

Profile 1 can play on console 1

Profile 2 can use your content on console 2 only

While profile 1 can use your content on console 1 as long as you are connected to live

You cannot be signed in on two different places

What you are talking about is guest account NOT home console

Your profile must be signed out of console 2

Thanks for this detailed guidance.

I have done as you suggested and i think the issue of sharing my Xbox Live/Ultimate Pass may be resolved

BUT

It still won't let us play on two different Xbox's at the same time when one Xbox is logged in under my main account, and the other is logged as the other user profile (under same main account). It tells me I can only play one game at a time?! I always use to be able to play same or different games on two different consoles at same time using linked account/profiles on each console.

Hello @mnavarra, I hope everything going well for you!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

According to the explanation you have provided, I believe you have but a little issue with changing profiles on your console. Therefore, you will only need to follow those simple steps that I will provide you with and your issue should be fixed.

The first step you will need to follow is to ensure that your home console is set up correctly, so please follow the link bellow:

Designate a home Xbox | Xbox Support

After you make sure that the account you have the subscription on is set up correctly please sign out or switch profile, then sign in with the account that does not own the subscription.

The second step is to make sure that you are signed in with two different profiles.

Please make sure that the profile that does not own the subscription is the one signed in on the console you made the home xbox. As for the account that owns the subscription can be signed on the other console.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!
