Two Xbox consoles and one live account - is this possible?

Crittleboots · Apr 4, 2020

We are looking to add a second xbox one to our home. Can i use the same subscription for two xboxs? Trying to find out before i spend the $400. And for the green IT person that i am, exactly how would i set it up?

lockdown is leading to too many fights over one game ��

any help super appreciated!

:)

Thank you, so does that mean i need 2 microsoft accounts? And they can have different gamer tags?

Hi Crittleboots,

Yes, you can share your Xbox Live Gold, Game Pass games and any games you purchased with a second Xbox console, as long as you set it as your Home Console. That way, anyone signs into the second console with their account can use
the services & games you already purchased while you can use them yourself at the same time on your own console using your main account. More details here

Yes, you will need 2 Microsoft accounts, I reccomend each person has their own. Each account will have it's own gamertag.

Let us know if you need any more help.

The person with Gold would need to set one of the consoles as their Home console. The person without Gold would use that console. The person with Gold would then be able to sign in on the non-Home console and play online. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox
