Xbox Gold sharing on one console and cross platform

jacknapierwayne · Apr 27, 2018

So my little sister has xbox gold and I have just a live account. There is only one console between us. My question is: Is there a way we can share her gold membership across our two accounts and play games like Fortnite and Sea of thieves either on the
same console at the same time or cross platforms (one of us one the console and on of us on PC/Laptop?) If there is I would be very grateful if someone could give me instructions on how to do so. I have tried googling this but couldn't find anything that made
sense. Thank you.

:)

Xb live on xbox one but not on 360 with the same profil...

If you have gold on your account then yes, it works cross platform. But if you're sharing gold with someone else on the One you don't actually have a gold subscription on your account so it doesn't work cross platform.

Xbox One can't chat with Xbox 360.

There are no plans for cross console chat support and you can find it on many news sites -

Microsoft have other things to concentrate on adding to Xbox One without adding cross generation chat. If you want cross generation chat use the Skype app on both consoles.

You would need to have the console set as your Home console so she can share your gold. My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One | Share Your Xbox One

You can only play the games at the same time on the console if they are local co-op games, but for online multiplayer, one of you would need to play on the console and the other on the PC. You do not need gold to play online on the PC.

Hello Craig,

Chris here from Xbox forums support. I understand at this time, cross platform play is disabled for child accounts on Xbox live.

Im not sure if this is by design. It seems like this is only affecting child accounts on xbox, so it could be subject to change.

The child account would have to graduate naturally to an adult account in order to cross play on Fortnite. A secondary adult account could be used to cross play if you would like, A second gold subscription would not be needed. Please refer to "How
to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox" for steps on sharing the gold subscription with the rest of the console

Hope this helps!
