three xbox(s) in my house under one account not possible?

NFPOA Account · Oct 11, 2022

I finally bought the newest Xbox tower version but I have 2 Xbox One consoles. There are 3 of us that play so why can't we have 3 consoles on one account? They all have the same IP address and are under one roof so I don't get it.

Until I figure this out, the new one can sit in the box. We're not dumping our old ones so the new one will probably get sold around Christmas on eBay if I don't find a way before then.

Yes, game share was the issue. We all have different logins in the same family group so that's not a problem.

I just wish game share worked per IP and wasn't limited to 2. Gaming families that play together shouldn't be punished.

Hi, right now that's not possible, sorry

You can try suggesting this idea / feature in the Xbox Insiders subreddit:

Hope you're doing great today despite this Nfpoa

You can register the same profile on different consoles
The thing that you can't do is play at the same time with that profile

Also, right now the game share feature only works for 2 consoles if you're talking about this instead
If you want to share your library with a second Xbox in your house (different profile/account). You need to enable home Xbox for that console
And for your main console you can use your profile as usual

I guess that my biggest concern is simply the price of the three accounts that I now have in the house. I was to be getting the new Xbox One while both my sons have their own Xbox 360's. $100 for all the accounts seemed to be quite fair. Now that's jumped
to $180. Just another cash grab I guess. Hopefully they will come up with something soon. My family accounts were to end in March, and with the free 3 months, that takes us to June. I just don't know if I'm going to keep my early order of the Xbox One. I might,
much to my chagrin, have to switch all three consoles to another brand.

Hello BennQCxx,

It would depend a lot on how you are using the consoles and how many profiles you are using. As far as the Xbox 360 goes, you'd need a gold subscription on any account that you wanted to play on Xbox Live with. Theoretically you'd only need 1 profile on
the Xbox Ones to have a gold subscription if you set one as
Home Xbox. The easiest thing to do if you want to play on Xbox Live though, is to have a subscription on any of the accounts you're trying to play on.
