Xbox gold on 3 consoles

Hi there Abel A. If you have three consoles, you'll need three accounts. Two accounts can share Xbox Live Gold, not three. The third account will need separate subscription. In addition, an account can only be used on one console at a time. Have a great day.

The Op cleraly stated "I have 3 Xbox One consoles in my household. Mine and one each for two of my boys" That makes 3 xbox consoles that he wants to connect on xbox live.

How can the OP use only 2 gold subscriptions for 3 xbox consoles?!

Daft Badger I suggest you to read better the conditions of using home with gold:

support.xbox.com/.../xbox-live-gold-sharing-features

You don't have to be actively signed in to share the gold though. You do not need 3 memberships for all 3 accounts to be signed into 3 different consoles. Only 2.

Account A has gold and assigns console B as his Home console. Account A can then sign into console A and use gold while Account B signs into console B and uses the shared gold. Account C has gold and uses console C with their gold subscription.

You would need at least 2 subscriptions for 3 consoles. You can only share gold on 1 console at a time, the Home console. So if you have Account 1, Account 2, and Account 3. Account 1 could have gold and sets Console 1 as it's Home console, all 3 accounts
can share gold on that console. Account 1 can then sign into any other console and still use gold because it's tied to that account. Account 2 or 3 would need to have gold and set one of the other consoles as their Home console in order to share gold on that
console. Then either of the 2 gold accounts can use the 3rd console.

There's no such thing as Home Gold on the Xbox 360. If you wish to have gamertags play online on the Xbox 360 console after your gold family pack subscription expires each person will need their own gold membership.

The gold sharing only applies to Xbox One. If you get a Xbox One, one gold subscription will suffice for 1 console. If you get multiple consoles then you'd need to get another gold subscription for that other console and everyone on that other console will
be able to login and play and have a gold subscription.

To recap currently the way it's setup if you're going to purchase multiple Xbox One's you'll need 1 gold membership on each of those consoles for everyone to be able to play online on any console. If you get 3 Xbox One's you'd need 3 gold subscriptions (one
for each box).

The Xbox 360 will only work if you continue to pay for singular gold subscriptions for each account you wish to have online access.
