    Switching from one console to multiple consoles


    Different versions of this scenario have been posted before, so apologies for repeating, but please can someone clarify - we currently have:

    • One XB1 - with three gamers.
      • One adult and two child gamertags
      • Using the family setting - the adult account has the console as the home console and the subscriptions to Xbox Gold Live and EA Access

    After Santa ;o) we will have another XB1, ideally I would like to still control the two child accounts via family, but allow them both to continue to access the current games and we have digital copies which where downloaded on the adult account.

    My understanding is that:

    • Digital games can be transferred to another gamertag (but only one) - so another digital copy would be required.
    • The adult account cannot have multiple home consoles (as concurrent logons are not permitted).

    So, my questions are:

    1. Will both child accounts need to have separate Xbox live accounts?
    2. Can I still control their accounts via family, when their accounts will now have their own home consoles and the adult account will be a 'guest' on both?
    3. Is there another way of achieving this split?

    Thanks!

    :)

  2. Downloadable content changes makes saves unreadable

    I recently played dead space on my new console, then switched to my old console. And found sadly that re downloading or any changes to downloadable content or console switching immediately prohibits playing from a saved file. Tried multiple tests and could
    repo it on the same console.

    Multiple consoles

    I now have 3 Xbox one consoles in the house, my question is how do I connect them to where we can all play online together. Do they each need their own Xbox live subscription or what. My Xbox one is set as the home Xbox and I'm confused on how to set up the other xboxs

    Switching from one console to multiple consoles

    1. If they are to be playing at the same time you will need separate xbox live accounts. If they aren't to play at the same time you can have the same account on both consoles but they can't log on to xbox live at the same time.

    2. You can control their accounts from
    here
    or to control the accounts like you can now, you must log in on the other console and set the same restrictions you have on the current xbox one.

    3. Since you can only have one My Home Xbox set at a time, with this setup with 2 consoles you will need to purchase the games and another gold subscription again on another account (probably better if this was an adult account as well) and set that account
    as the my home xbox of the second xbox one. There's no other way of doing this split like that.

  5. You can game and gold share with them on the second console. You add there xbox as your home. You add your xbox as there home

    You add all the accounts to both consoles. Viola you can share all games and gold between the 2 consoles. As long as they play on the co sole set as your home they can change accounts and have access. And yes you can still control there accounts as
    family and child accounts and have full control.

    Your account can sit on multiple Xbox 360s and will carry over to Xbox One seamlessly; I'm positive you'll be able to switch back and forth as simply as you can now from console to console.

    It depends on the game you're trying to play. Not all games support split-screen multiplayer.
