    Two gamers on one console (me and my son)


    Back ground: I am paying for an live gold subscription. The subscription is associated with my account for obvious reasons. Both my son (10) and I (really old) have Microsoft live accounts and xbox gamer tags associated with the one xbox 360 console in
    the house. His Microsoft live account in in "my family" for my Microsoft live account.

    Can my son play under his gamer tag using my live gold subscription?

    If no, I assume my solution is log into my son's account and pay for the subscription under his microsoft live account using my payment info. If that the only solution?

    If we both want to play live using our own gamer tags would I have to pay for two subscriptions?

    Thanks in advance for you help.

    :)

    FAMILY Subscription

    I'm on the gold family subscription and it gives me good value for my family consisting of 4 gamers and 3 consoles (my daughter and I share one console, two sons each have their own consoles, but one son isn't in the same location) I need clarification about
    what Microsoft intend to do about the current gold family subscription package.

    I'll be honest, after years of being a xbox family we are seriously considering moving over to PS4 for the next gen. Ongoing subscription costs play a big part in my consideration when I have 4 people to consider. Someone told me that Microsoft intend to
    discontinue the family subscription, is that true?

    Also, does the PS4 have a family package or would you have to pay for each console?

    Difference between installing the multiplayer from disc 2 and downloading from xbl?

    Does anyone one know if you can play the multiplayer on two diff consoles with one using disc and the other using the download? I often buy two games so me and my son can play together in different rooms of the house. I hate playing split screen.

    On the 360 each account has to have their own gold subscription in order to play online. So you would need to purchase gold under his account as well.

    Family member can't play games without account manager being signed in

    I have two consoles, one for my daughter and son to share and one for me with my sons profile on it as well. When he tries to sign on to my console it asks him to buy game pass or live gold if I'm not signed in. The console that my daughter has is set
    as the home box.

    How do I do this? I want to share a game with other members of my family that use different Xbox consoles

    Hi -

    I have a Family Account and my 2 sons have their own Microsoft gamer tags/accounts. We have two Xboxes at the house.

    I bought a downloadable version of WWE 2K19. I want both of my sons to be able to play this game from their own consoles. One son primarily uses one of the Xboxes, and my other son primarily uses the other Xbox.

    How do I do this?

    Thanks!

    In order to share your account with someone else between two consoles, use the tutorial in this link https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

    Home Xbox

    Only be done on two consoles? Or only on two consoles at a time, subtle difference but a big one.

    My son currently has two consoles one in his bedroom and one at his mothers both work fine, I bought a game on his account he plays on both consoles. If I want to play said game using my gamer tag then I believe all I need to do is set set my Xbox (in my games room) as his home Xbox and it should work? First response says I’m right, you say I’m wrong, now I’m Confused

    2 consoles in one house for 2 sons

    Is this a one time thing? They both still use their consoles. They each now have one in their room. Why can I play it under my gamertag? Also, we just realized that my older son can't play it on the new younger son's xbox, even if he is signed in. He can only play it on his xbox. And my younger son can only play it if he is using my gamer tag... ??? Its so messed up.

    Why can you only have one home console? We have two home consoles. Surely this is common....to have two xbox in 1 house...

    I just went to that link. It says if you switch your home xbox all content is removed from your xbox and transferred to the new xbox. So I don't think that's a good option. Then my older son won't be able to play on his xbox.
