Trying to play on 2 Xbox's at the same time (2 different accounts, 2 different games)

Hi,

I have 2 Xbox's, the series X in the family room and an Xbox One in the game room.

Recently My son and wife have been playing Minecraft on the series X, on my account. So I moved to the game room and tried to play F1 in there. But I got the message "you are playing on another Xbox", If I continue it kicks my wife and kid off the series X.

I should add Minecraft is downloaded from Game pass, F1 was purchased and loaded on to both Xbox.
Anyway I contacted Xbox support and they told me that I needed to set up "Family". This way another account would be able to take advantage of the Game Pass Unlimited and we would be able to play on both consoles at the same time.
So I didn't this, then my wife created an account.

Now my wife is signed in to the series X playing Minecraft and I try and play on the Xbox One and I'm still getting the damn message, that I can't play on both consoles at the same time.
I could understand it if we were trying to play the same game.
Is there anyone that can help with this issue please? Because it is starting to drive me F***ing crazy.

:)

Hi there,

what could be causing this, is that your account is also signed in on that other console, if so please sign out on that console to see if that helps.

Let it know if there are any results

I installed the game on 2 different xbox ones and played it with 2 different accounts. both have the same error. Language and country are both configured to German.

Hey Sea! Are you trying to connect with two separate consoles, or are you saying you want to play a co-op game on the same console? Can you tell us specifically what you are trying to do? Thanks!

You wont be able to play with the same account on 2 different devices at the same time.

why does it, you cannot use the same account in 2 places, you can log in with a different account on pc then play at the same time, but for security and not to break the sync system you cant use the same account in 2 different places at the same time, same applies to most other services from other companies too.
