    Xbox game pass for PC - can more than one person in the family have it? And how do you...


    I purchased the Xbox game pass for my son's PC. It automatically links to my email account. I am trying to add my son's email address to it but it keeps saying he lives in the U.S. and won't let him add his account. We live in Canada. What do we do?

    :)

    Xbox game pass for PC - can more than one person in the family have it? And how do you change region to Canada?

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    Go to: https://account.microsoft.com/family/about

    Sign in with your Microsoft account and add your son as a child (member) to your Microsoft Family Group.

    Once that is done it should share. If it's having issues picking it up, only thing I can think of is login to your account in the Windows Store (the app its self, not windows) on your son's PC, check if Game Pass is activated in Xbox Game Pass app and then log back into the Windows Store app with his own account.

    To change his Microsoft region, see here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    Family shared games and live membership

    Yes, it is actually a feature available right now! On Xbox One, go to Settings>Account>Family Settings>Manage Family Members and add all of your loved ones! The same can be performed on PC through your settings.

    This feature will share Gold and Game Pass so if you ever by chance have Game Pass Ultimate and you have a capable gaming PC as well, you can play any game that supports cross play between Xbox and PC such as Sea of Thieves with family and friends.

    Enjoy!

    3 Xbox Consoles - 1 Family and they can't be played at the same time

    Hi again.

    I asked you if your daughters are playing through a single gamepass subscription because microsoft ended gamepass sharing for more than one console or xbox user to play at the same time with a single subscription.

    "On August 15, 2023, the Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family preview program will end as we review what we’ve learned over the past several months and investigate how to build an offer which we can launch worldwide."

    That was the words from the xbox team about sharing game pass with friends and family to see more information about xbox game pass sharing with friends and family you can check it by the next link.

    3 xbox consoles

    Hello Crazy,

    As others stated it is only possible to do on two consoles. Personally have this issue as I have 6 consoles in my house one for each family member, I have to purchase 3 subscriptions and 3 games. You can use
    Xbox ideas as I have to submit ideas for changes to Xbox home console. Nowadays more families have more than two consoles.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    why wont ultimate transfer over to a child account if its bought on a parent account?

    Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and hope you are doing well.

    With regards to your issue, you should be able to share your subscription with up to 4 others if this is the Game Pass family you have with you.

    But for this, may I ask how many members do you have on your Microsoft Family group? As that might be the case as to why it is not being shared as there should be 4 only. For us to check try to sign in your family account at https://account.microsoft.com/family page.

    Also if you are manually sharing it aside from the ones added on your family group that will also use up the sharing limit. More details how the subscription works can be found at https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptio...

    I hope the information helps. But feel free to let us know how it goes and we will be more than happy to assist.

    Kind regards,

    Ben
