    Xbox gaming on 2 consoles and three laptops.


    My wife and I, and our 3 kids all love playing Xbox. Most games on our Xbox were purchased through my account because I have Game Pass Ultimate. We have an Xbox Series X in the living room, an Xbox One X in the master bedroom, and multiple laptops. Often times, more than two of us at any given time will want to play Xbox. When only two Xbox's are involved it's usually not a problem because One Xbox is the home Xbox (living room) and my wife will just sign me in when she plays in the room. But when I want to play on my laptop with the relatively new Xbox app for Windows, I am left unable to play and forced to play games on Steam, Nvidia Now or some other method of gaming that does not require my Xbox account to be signed in. This is very frustrating, is there a way around this or am I stuck with Steam? Microsoft please figure this out, because I want to remain loyal, but you are forcing my hand. Please!

    @ngocphi You misunderstand what I was saying. Read my posts again and ignore VaggsNV. He is the only one here talking about theft.

    I'm simply stating that there needs to be a family GamePass. I just want to be able to do what I specified above which is share the games that I've already paid for with my family. They could even use the IP address as the deciding factor to determine if someone is trying to share outside of their home. As the IP address would be the same for every console. They would just need to block known VPN ip addresses.

    This is absurd. I'm not going to have my wife re-purchase all of our games for herself. Microsoft needs to adapt. It doesn't make any sense that Microsoft adds new ways to use your Xbox account without a plan to handle increased usage.

    I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the Xbox community. How are you?

    A subscription and games can only be split between two consoles. On your PC you will need another account and make another subscription or have your wife make a subscription with her own account so you can play on the PC.
