    Why can't I play two different Xbox consoles on different accounts in the same room?


    I have an Xbox One and an Xbox Series X plugged in running side by side on separate live accounts, and a Playstation 4 in another room. They all work fine, except the Xbox Series X. It keeps disconnecting from GTA 5 and sometimes all other games. The wifi signal is fine in the rest of the house and on all other devices, but the Xbox Series X only shows 2 bars when connected. Is this something wrong with the console, my wifi or the game serve for GTA 5?

    :)

    Why can't I play two different Xbox consoles on different accounts in the same room?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    The issue can be with the connection between the Xbox Series X console and the connection between your router. Kindly perform an extended powercycle and reset your network hardware by following the steps below:

    " 1. Unplug the power cable from the back of the router, modem, or gateway for 5 minutes. If you have a router and a modem, unplug the power cable from both devices.

    2. Press and hold the Xbox button on your console for 10 seconds or until it turns off then wait for 2 minutes before turning it on again.

    3. After 5 minutes, plug the modem or gateway in first, and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state.

    4. If you are using a router, plug in the router and wait for all the lights to return to their normal state."

    External drive support?

    Can I use one external drive for two Xbox ones? This would be used for two different accounts but both consoles are in the same room.

    Cant Play on 2 Consoles At the Same Time?

    Hi there Brad, my name is Gerardo and I'm an Xbox player like you. I'll be happy to help.

    The procedure described in the thread you shared refers to playing with two different accounts on two different Xbox consoles to share the games from one account with the other console in the same household.

    Take in mind that it is not possible to play with the same account on two different consoles simultaneously, which is why, when you are playing on one, if you start a game on the other with the same account, the message you mentioned appears.

    I hope this clarifies the information, and if you have more questions, please let me know.

    Best regards.

    Same game in two consoles

    Can I play the same game I own digitally in two different consoles I own? Xbox One and Xbox seriesX. The game I'm trying to play is Cricket19. I don't play online just in two different rooms under the same profile in two seperate rooms.
    To be clear…u own one game digitale, right? Now intending to play both consoles against each other with just one code at hand, right?…besides the eternal agony burning in hell for just thinkin‘ that way,…nope! No problem there as long as u use 2 different profiles. Neither of those machines will crosscheck any account‘s ownerships.

    x box live on two separate consoles.

    Unfortunately you can not share the same Xbox account on two consoles at the same time. For both of you to play on two different consoles at the same time would require two different accounts. It doesn't cost anything to create an account for Xbox Live.
    However, it will cost BOTH accounts to have Gold subscriptions.
