    Xbox games and diffrent accounts!


    So im playing Minecraft mainly.

    I have it installed on my PC and i would like to play with my son who is using Xbox One.

    And everytime we start playing its a hassle.

    I have my account on the PC he has his family member account on the Xbox.

    Myself i also have an account on the Xbox(its the same as i have on the PC).

    I bought Minecraft on the PC and on the Xbox(paid for 2 versions). But do i have to pay for one more version, a third, for my son?

    I bought the Xbox version on my account. I was logged in on the Xbox on my Microsoft account when i payed and installed Minecraft.

    Because when i switch user on the Xbox to my sons family account minecraft turns off after a few minutes and it asks him if he has payed for this game??

    Now i must say this is the most stupid way and complicated **** i have ever seen this thing with accounts and Liveaccounts and diffrent accounts for diffrent family members and wth is going on???????????????????

    Im sure microsoft want to make money somehow but what the hell is this jungle you guys have created for your customers?

    I just want to play minecraft with my son him on the Xbox and me on my PC.

    Everytime we try to start a gaming session it takes half an hour to get it going because we try to switch accounts back and forth on the xbox to get the game going.

    Oh and when starting Xbox its always my account that starts up, can that be somehow switched so its my sons account that is started as logged in when xbox starts up????

    :)

    Hi,

    The process to create cross-play sessions is the same as any other Minecraft multiplayer game – set up your world and you're ready to go. For those with an existing

    Minecraft Realm
    from other platforms, these steps can be ignored.

    Select Play from the main menu.

    Choose Create New under the Worlds tab.

    Select Create New World to start a fresh game.

    Navigate to the Multiplayer subsection.

    Check multiplayer is enabled.

    Select Create once you're ready to play

    Using Minecraft's Friends tab is a quick way to see active games and join sessions. Navigating to this section will breakdown which online games are joinable across compatible platforms.

    Select Play from the main menu.

    Press RB to access to Friends tab on Xbox One. Press
    R to access to Friends tab on Nintendo Switch.

    Select an active game to join.

    On Xbox One, games will be split between joinable friends and joinable Realms. On Nintendo Switch, games are sorted by Nintendo Switch friends, Xbox Live cross-platform friends, and joinable Realms.

    Does it help ?

    Xbox games and diffrent accounts!

    Hi there,

    if you sign in to your account on the console and set the Xbox One console as your Home console then all other profiles on that console should be able to play the games your account has purchased (and also benefit from any subscriptions on your account).

    If the console is set as Home console for your account your son's account should be able to use the games purchased via your account.

    Keep in mind that only 1 console can be set as your Home console and you can change the Home console 5x in a running year.

    See this link for the steps and some more information regarding the Home console:

    https://support.xbox.com/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox


    Regarding the account signing in question, you should be able to change that too via for example the steps here:

    https://support.xbox.com/my-account/manage-account/change-signin-preferences


    Let us know the results
