    Xbox Game Pass Games only able to be played from one profile


    Hello - I have Xbox game pass ultimate on my Xbox. We have 4 profiles on the xbox for myself, husband and 2 kids. We have downloaded several games but when we try to play them we keep getting a message that says we have to play it with the profile that was used to download the game. Is this right? Can only one profile play the games we download from xbox game pass? I hope not cause we ditched the old Xbox One for the new one without the disc tray and planned to play the games online but this is a huge issue for us.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    :)

    Game Pass Ultimate family sharing

    there is a problem there, if you have game pass ultimate on your profile, you can play in your xbox and she can play if she puts your profile as home on her console, but you will the only one able to use the game pass ultimate on a pc, on pc does not work
    as on the xbox.

    Xbox game pass

    Hello Eyal Y, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

    Yes, it is possible to play a game on Xbox Game Pass with two controllers, even if only one of the controllers has an active Xbox Game Pass subscription. The Xbox Game Pass subscription is associated with the Microsoft account that purchased it, so as long as the account that has the Game Pass subscription is active on the console, you can access and play the games available in Game Pass with any profile of gamer on that console, even with multiple controllers.

    This means you can play Xbox Game Pass games in local multiplayer or co-op on the same console, using two controllers, even if only one of the profiles has an active Game Pass subscription. The profile without Game Pass will be able to access and play the game as long as the profile with Game Pass is active on the console.

    Best regards.

    Game Pass Ultimate. Buy more than one for a household?

    To add to what the others have said the game pass gives you the license to download, install and play the games that are in the game pass library.

    The Home Xbox Gives any other players the ability to play any games that you have the license for them.

    With that being said

    1. As long as you have an active game pass subscription AND the console is set as your home console any other profile on that console will be able to play the games that you have a license for.

    2. Unlike actual owned games where the games will show up in your ready to install no matter what profile is signed in the game pass games can ONLY be downloaded and installed from the profile that has the active game pass subscription.

    Once the game is downloaded and installed ALL the other profiles on the HOME Xbox can then play them.

    So in your case you only need one game pass subscription but whatever account has it active can only download and install the games on the console. Once they are downloaded and installed then the other profiles on the console can then play the games just
    as if you actually purchased them.

    second xbox for students cannot access gamepass downloaded games.

    Setting the home Xbox to the Xbox within the classroom will make that console able to play the games from the game pass through any account.

    This will however make it so only the account that had purchased the game pass will be able to access those game from any other console, this will not be a problem if you only plan to use the one account anyway but could be problematic if you use multiple.
