    Xbox game pass for child


    My son got a gift card for Xbox game pass, but I’m not able to add it to his account. It insists on a credit card but gives an error since he’s not allowed to buy games without permission. How do I add game pass to his account?

    :)

    Do I need to remove my sons account from family?

    Hi Matt B, My name is Vanessa, an independent advisor, and I'm here to guide you on your case.

    Yes, you need to remove your child's account from the family in order for them to use their Xbox Game Pass Core subscription. When a child account is in an adult's family, it inherits access to the adult's Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. In this case, your child is inheriting your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which allows you to play games on two consoles at the same time.

    If you remove your child's account from the family, you will need to re-configure it as an adult account. This will allow you to assign them an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription, which only allows you to play games on one console at a time.

    To remove your child's account from the family, follow these steps:

    Sign in to your Xbox account on the Xbox website.
    Click on the "My Family" menu.
    Search for your child's account and click on "Remove."
    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
    Once you have removed your child's account from the family, you can assign them an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription. To do this, follow these steps:

    Sign in to your child's account on the Xbox website.
    Click on the "My Account" menu.
    Click on "Subscriptions."
    Click on "Add a subscription."
    Select "Xbox Game Pass Core."
    Enter the Xbox Game Pass Core subscription code.
    Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
    Once you have assigned the Xbox Game Pass Core subscription to your child's account, the games should appear as available to play. If they do not, it is possible that you will need to uninstall the content that they downloaded and re-download it through Xbox Game Pass Core.

    If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help.

    Best regards,
    Vanessa.

    Can’t play GTA V online.

    Just to be sure, does your child have a paid subscription to Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?
