Suddenly unable to play Fortnite on my 2 consoles at the same time.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Unfortunately, only one of our profiles can be active while the other player is always a guest. In other words, on Xbox, you cant have two Xbox profiles play on one Xbox console. You'd have to have another xbox console.

No it does not turn the screen black but one time I was playing fortnite and then suddenly my screen turned black and I had to turn of my xbox. P.S. I liked your joke!

Hi David, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

I am sorry to hear that.

Please, make sure to set the account that has the subscription as the Home Console of the person who does not have it.

Take a look here for a detailed guide: https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide.

Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

To make this your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.

Keep in mind that Game Share is only allowed within the same household.

Let me know if it works!

Hi there Brad, my name is Gerardo and I'm an Xbox player like you. I'll be happy to help.

The procedure described in the thread you shared refers to playing with two different accounts on two different Xbox consoles to share the games from one account with the other console in the same household.

Take in mind that it is not possible to play with the same account on two different consoles simultaneously, which is why, when you are playing on one, if you start a game on the other with the same account, the message you mentioned appears.

I hope this clarifies the information, and if you have more questions, please let me know.

Best regards.

Hello again Brad, I apologize, I had not realized that the author of the other thread was you, I thought it was a thread from another user.

From what I see, everything is configured correctly, and it should allow you to play on different accounts.

Just to recap, account A (where things were purchased) needs to be set as the Home Xbox on account B (https://support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox) so that any account on console B has access to account A's purchases. On the other hand, account A will need to play with that account on console A to access the games (no other account will have access to the games on that console).

Please try logging out of account A on console B, if it has already been set as the Home Xbox, logging out of that account won't affect it since Home Xbox will still apply. Run a game from your account A on console A and have account B launch a game on console B (with account A logged out of that console).

It can be a bit confusing, I hope I made myself understood, but yes, it seems that you have everything configured correctly, so it seems strange to me that it's not working.

Best regards.
