    Trying to play on 2 Xbox's.


    I have 2 Xbox's, I have the Xbox X in the family room and an Xbox one in the game room.
    I have 1 account signed in on both. Recently my son and wife have been playing Minecraft in the family room.
    So I figured I'll go play F1 2023 on the xbox in the game room, only to find that if I try to play a game it kicks my wife and son of the Xbox in the family room.
    So Microsoft support tell me that I need to create a new account, then add it to Family.
    My wife created an account, we added it to the Xbox X and created a family.

    We did this and when my wife logs in to her account she doesn't have access to the Minecraft save games or any of the in game purchases. Is there any way to get these if she is using a different profile, but in the same family setting?

    Microsoft support aren't very helpful.
    What happened to being able to purchase 2 different games and play them on 2 different consoles at the same time?

    Any help from this community would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    Trying to play on 2 Xbox's.

    Hello! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble playing games on both of your Xbox consoles. To answer your question, if your wife is using a different profile, she won't have access to the Minecraft save games or in-game purchases that were made on the original profile. However, there is a way to share games and content between profiles in the same family group.



    To do this, you'll need to set your Xbox consoles as each other's "home" consoles. This will allow any profile on the console to access the games and content that were purchased on the other console. Here's how to do it:



    1. On the Xbox console that you want to share games and content from, go to Settings > General > Personalization > My home Xbox.

    2. Select "Make this my home Xbox."

    3. Repeat these steps on the other Xbox console.



    Once you've set both consoles as each other's home consoles, any profile on either console will be able to access the games and content that were purchased on the other console. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Keep.in mind you.can only have 1 home.console.at a timw

    On the orher.console you have to be signed in at all.times online to use your content. this is regardless of platform.

    Hey there db BreeZ!

    Your Ubee dw3611 should be properly configured in bridge mode. Make sure Ubee dw3611's firewall is disabled as well.

    Do not configure any of your console's with a static IP address. Instead, make sure both console's are set to obtain IP address and DNS server automatic.

    Make sure UPnP is enabled on your Netgear router. If any of the other forwarding rule's are enabled, (DMZ, Port Forward, Port Triggering) turn them off.

    Visit Netgear website and make sure your router is up-to-date with the latest version of firmware.

    Keep us posted!

    I have the same router and I actually have 3 Xboxes hooked up to it, all wireless. So it probably isn't router related. I will assume that you are not trying to use the same Xbox Live Accounts on both simultaneously as that won't work.

    A few ideas / things to check:

    Are you using static IP addresses for each xbox? I've found that at times I've had to switch from static to DHCP assigned and vice versa.

    If you hook up each one at a time does it work? Is it one of the two that is the problem.

    Have you upgraded the firmware on the router to the latest?

    Have you changed any settings within the router? What you could try is giving the one Xbox a static IP address and setting it in the Router DMZ. Then let the other one get an assigned IP address DHCP.

    Contact TWC and have them reset your cable modem or request a firmware update for the modem.

    2 Xbox’s trying to play Fortnite a the same time….

    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!
