Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Famly Sharing

CardinalSIN · Jun 14, 2019

Hello, I just upgraded to Ultimate Game Pass, which is a great deal. I was wondering how this new service works with family sharing? On my Xbox One X I was able to share Xbox Live and Game Pass games with my children who also have accounts on that Xbox,
but does that carry over to the PC for Ultimate Game Pass? Do my children's Xbox accounts on the PC get to use family sharing for Xbox Game Pass on PC as well? If yes, cold you tell me how to implement this? Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Cardinal,

Thanks for coming to the forums. This will work just like the Xbox live gold subscription works. With having it on your profile, you will need your profile set as home for the console the kids play on. They can log on their own profiles share the gold and
game pass. You can then play on a different console. Here is a link for
home console.

Thanks,

Hi Brad,

I'm still not sure how to enable this on Windows PC. My children are under my main account for MS Family but they still can't use my Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I do not have an Xbox, only PC.

Thank you,

For Windows youll want to add your childrens accounts to your family in your MS account. Im not 100% sure about how it works with game pass but this previously worked with play anywhere titles i believe

heres the info to do it

Hi Cardinal,

Im not sure about cross-play game sharing. but you can game share the account details as long as the accounts are shared on the xbox, it should work.

Here's a small guide to help

Microsoft Store
The Microsoft Store may be one of the most welcoming when it comes to sharing games with your friends and family. Similar to Steam, it allows you to share with up to five users on up to ten different devices.
However, unlike Steam you can play on multiple PCs simultaneously. My kids can both play Minecraft on their own PCs from the copy that I actually didn't purchase but received with an Xbox One Minecraft bundle, which is another side benefit of the Microsoft
Store. With Play Anywhere titles, you get the rights to play on both console and PC.

You will need to create a family group for your Microsoft account and each user will need their own Microsoft account, including children. You can manage the members in your family group here.

Once the family group is created you then simply need to login to the PC as the user you want to share the game with and open the Microsoft Store to download the game. Each user will have their own game saves
and, as mentioned, can play simultaneously. This approach should also work for other content on the Microsoft Store such as apps, movies, or TV shows.

Another bonus for parents is Microsoft will allow you to set screen time limits, location sharing, content filtering, and even send you a weekly report of your child's activities on their PC.
