Using my brother's game pass ultimate on my pc (he has an xbox one)

Hello KoenScheffer ,

From my understanding you can't share it with a console and PC at the same time since you can't actually set the PC as the home console. Although, it can be shared in reverse (The owner of the subscription can use the computer and share with the console
player).

Perhaps once the subscription runs out you guys can switch who owns the subscription so that you both can enjoy it?

I read that you already found a solution, but are not 100% pleased with it.

I haven't tried it with the Game Pass app yet, but this works with "Play Anywhere" games your brother "owns" through the "regular" Xbox Game Pass or by buying the specific game.

So I can't guarantee this works for Game Pass on PC, but it's worth a try.

First of all, sign in with your account on
https://account.microsoft.com/family and add your brother's account to your family (or make sure your parents have added you both to their family if you both are still not of legal adult age).

Then sign in with your account on your PC normally. Start the Windows 10 Store app, and in the upper right corner, click on your account picture and sign out. Sign in your brother's account, and have him download the game(s) that are available in the store.

Try if the same method works for the Xbox Game Pass App.

Hello and thank you for your answer, your solution works! I logged in the Microsoft Store with my brother's account and the account the Xbox (beta) App uses is my brother's; I misunderstood it, it is not the PC account that the Xbox (beta) app uses but the
Microsoft Store one. I should be able to play on my own PC account now.

Thanks again!

Hello again, I have found a -flawed- solution, I can play the Game Pass Ultimate games with my own account, so I won't disturb my brother.

The Xbox (beta) app uses the PC account for the subscription, so only logging in the companion app and the Xbox (beta) app with my brother's account doesn't work, because the Xbox (beta) app uses MY account and not my brother's.

I have then created a second account on my PC, using my brother's e-mail address and logged in the companion app with my account, downloaded a game, launched it, and played with my account. So it works, but it is annoying that I have to switch
to the second account on my PC in order to play the Game Pass games. Maybe in the future they'll make it more convenient.

Thakns again for your help, have a nice day!

You can share the subscription, and access the titles, but the only way to do so, would be to either 1) Sign into the computer with his Microsoft Account, or 2) Sign in to the Xbox (beta) app with his Microsoft Account. Signing into the app with his account
wouldn't require that you sign into his account wholly, just for the app, but that should allow you to access those games.

I have not tested if you sign in as an account that owns the sub, and then sign in as another account on that computer, if you can play them, or if you can play them, if it will register the achievements for them, but I believe you can do so on PC normally,
as long as the sub/acct owner has installed them and has the rights, they're on that computer. Worth a shot, at least, trying.

Thank you for answering me. Signing into Xbox (beta) doesn't work, I have tried it (the account the app considers for the subscription is the main PC account, not necessarily the one signed in the app).

I will try to log in the pc as a whole with my brother's email, because that seems to be the problem.
