Single Gold Account across two Xbox One

Drake MacBain · Nov 23, 2017

Hello,

My friend has one Xbox One with a gold account and he would like to buy a second console and set his son up with his own gold account.

Can this be done with a single Gold Account - he will keep the current account as the Adult Account and add a Child Account which will go onto the second machine. Will he need two separate Gold accounts because he's going to buy a second console? Or can
you split a family account across two machines and still get all the benefits of a gold account?

Thanks for your help,

Dan

I think so yes but for a single xbox, it takes the single live account and all users can access features behind the paywall as if they had gold on that console.

arthurdentpc has 3 xbox's tho, and the old "family" bundle allowed each user to effectively have their own gold membership, so gold on each user which translated to gold on each console, now its gold to anyone on the single xbox....

So I assume on single xbox families the new system is much better, but on multiple xbox families its not as good. Its not super clear tho how this new gold system will work on xbox one, but it does read like arthur is shafted rather unfairly in this new scenario.Click to expand...

If that is the case who gets to use their gold account on other machines? They've clearly said that. Just like now, your live subscription follows you to whatever Xbox console you use. So who on that original console can take their account to another console?

Will my current xbl work with xbox one?

Yeah Gold works across the platforms so you only need gold on your Xbox Live account to use it on 360 and One. You're totally safe to renew, I'm renewed for the next two years already

He would have to set the console his son would use as his home console in order to share the gold subscription.

If you get gold for one account and install that account on both xbox consoles, set one as 'home xbox' and share gold across two consoles. Its a bit confusing but it works.

Hello DAJAXMAN,

Good question, yes you can have two Xbox One's in the same house. If its your girl's friend first time downloading her account to a Xbox One that Xbox One will become her main Xbox. As long as you have one Active gold account downloaded to the system your
gold will be shared across the accounts. in this case her account.

Thank you!

Yes, you will need two seperate gold memberships as they are attached to a single account.
