    Two consoles, one house, one all access pass


    I have two consoles, xbox one and xbox x.

    Both my kids want to play against each other and use the all access pass.

    They each have their own tag.

    How, if possible, can I use the all access on both consoles at the same time for both kids?

    :)

    Put the xbox game pass ultimate under one of their accounts. So for example.. Son#1 has game pass ultimate make his home xbox as the xbox that son#2 uses that way anyone that uses that xbox can use the game pass ultimate without having him sign in since its his home xbox.. what this means is make the xbox one x son#1 home console.. then have son#1 play on the xbox one and have son#2 play on the xbox one X or vice versa.. this is the only way they can both play at the same time using one game pass ultimate account. Because son#1 will have to sign into the xbox one so he can play therefore it wont kick anyone out of the game pass on the xbox one x since thats his home xbox. If theres another way i dont know about it. Because we have 3 xboxs and we can use 2 of them this way at the same time so my son and daughter can both play against each other but unfortunately theres no way to do it on more then 2. It sucks for family's with more then 2 xboxs also sucks when you have more then 2 ppl that want to use the game pass ultimate at the same time. Microsoft needs to change this, my suggestion would be for them to make a family game pass ultimate subscription where you can add your family members up to say 5 or 6 members to your family subscription and they can use game pass ultimate anywhere anytime. That would be nice. But unfortunately this is what we are stuck with for now. Maybe it'll change in the future

    And this won't remove the subscription from my son's console, right?
    Subscriptions are tied to the ACCOUNT that bought the subscription.

    So your son can go to any console in the world, sign in there, and he will have access to his Gold membership subscription, Game Pass (if applicable) and digital games.

    As long as he's signed in on a specific console, that console will also share the Gold membership to anyone playing with him on that console. Even if your son is not actively playing, as long as he is signed online (for example on a second controller), another
    person can play on that console and access his games and benefit from the Gold membership.

    The account that owns the subscription, can designate one console as their "Home Console" (or as you call it the "Main console") and will share the Gold to that CONSOLE. Any previous "Home Console" will lose the ability to share Gold and games when your
    son designates a new Home Console.

    Your son's account will still keep his Gold membership, and will share it to the designated Home Console, which in turn allows anyone on that console to benefit from your son's games and Subscriptions.

    So is there a specific reason why you want to keep your son's console the Home Console? Are you (or someone else besides your son) playing on that console and needs the subscription?

    If so, then there is no other way around than to buy a separate Gold membership for your girlfriends kid. Or you'll have to play on that console to benefit from the shared Gold membership after setting the "girlfriend console" as your son's Home Console.

    ok this is how you go about it. first off does your son have gold already on his account and have digital games on that account? if so set up the new xbox like normal make a account for your ladys kid. when that's complete on the new console go to settings....
    personalization... then click my home xbox. form there you will put your sons account as the home xbox account for the new console. from that point on the new console should have the xbox live and all digital games from the other account.

    Thanks for this.

    The only real reason I wanted to keep the 'Home Console' designated to my son's Xbox, is that I'm not very clued up on all of this, and I was concerned he'd lose his access to Live Gold.
