Xbox Live Gold for Family Members on 360

R4K3T3 · Oct 8, 2015

Hello

I have the following problem:

I have a Xbox 360 at home, with a profile with Xbox Live gold membership, to play online. Works fine so far.

Now we have the new Fifa 16 and my 2 sons want to play online seasons as well. Also I do not want them to mess with my seasons progress. Apparantly you cannot start multiple online seasons with one Xbox profile in fifa since everything is connected to your
Xbox profile. So we made new profiles for them. Now with those new profiles we cannnot connect to the EA servers because they do not have a Xbox live gold membership.

I would like to know if there is a way to give them access to the membership I already bought so they can play online? I found out that there is a family feature on Xbox One, but could not find anything for the Xbox 360.

Is there really no other way than buying a seperate Xbox live gold membership for everyone?? That would be really bad by Microsoft/EA

Thanks

:)

Xbox Live Gold Family Pack No Longer Available

Posted an hour ago.

Microsoft has confirmed that the Xbox Live Gold Family Pack is no longer available for purchase, after several people noted its disappearance earlier this month.

“The Family Gold offer is no longer available for purchase,” a company representative told Joystiq. “The Family Center experience with settings management, allowance granting, child activity reports and family subscriptions management are still available for current Family Gold members at this time.”

Asked about the reasoning behind this decision, he replied: “We continually evaluate our business focus and work to offer services that make the most sense for our customers and Xbox.”

The Family pack was originally introduced in November 2010 and was a $99 bundle that included four year long Gold memberships for four family members, along with functions to monitor and control each family member’s content purchasing and viewing settings via the Family center.

The Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack gives you four 12-month Gold memberships for less than the price of two. You can easily convert an existing Xbox LIVE Gold membership, or you can sign up for a new Xbox LIVE account and Gold Family Pack membership.

Note You will get a discount on your Gold Family Pack membership if you have time remaining on your existing Gold membership.

With the Gold Family Pack, you can:

Give family members an allowance of Microsoft Points to redeem for films, games and more.
Manage your family memberships, activities and Family Settings from the Family Centre.

They used to offer a family plan. Unfortunately on the 360 you will need an active gold membership for every account that wants to participate in online gaming. The XBOX one eliminates this need as the main account only needs an active gold membership. Then
anyone assigned on your console can enjoy anything you have purchased and can play online.

Sorry but there is no Family feature for the 360. There used to be one but it has long since been discontinued.

As you mentioned there is a family sharing feature for Gold memberships on the Xbox One though. If you were to get one of those consoles and set the console as your gamertags Home console then you would be able to share out the membership to your family
members on that console.

I also wanted to mention that they are bringing backwards compatibility to the Xbox One console this winter so you'll be able to play some of your Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One console.

Is your Xbox 360 new or is it a used one?

Do you have Xbox live gold family pack, regular gold or silver?

Have your membership expired?

The Xbox 360 have a parental control that allows you to manage member's Xbox LIVE activities.

Sign in to Xbox live

Go to my xbox, and select family center.

Or to make it easier:

When you add a family member to an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, you have to add it to the same console as the primary account holder. However, after you add that family member to your Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack, they can recover their account on a different
console and still remain a part of the Family Pack. AND The Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack gives you four 12-month Gold memberships for less than the price of two.

Q: Everyone in my family is already an Xbox LIVE Gold member. Is there a limit to how long my Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack subscription can be?

A: An Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack subscription cannot exceed 36 months. If your family members have more than 72 months of Xbox LIVE Gold membership remaining combined when they are added to the Xbox LIVE Gold family pack, any remaining time on their subscriptions
in excess of the 72 months will be cancelled and you will not receive a refund for any time beyond 72 months.

Yes, it's possible:

Q: Can I add existing Xbox LIVE Gold members to my Family Pack? For example, my kids are already Xbox LIVE Gold members.

A: Yes. When an existing Xbox LIVE Gold member is added to a Family Pack, the remaining time on their Gold membership benefits the whole family! For every two months remaining on their current Gold membership, the entire family receives an extra month of
Xbox LIVE Gold. For example, if your child has six months remaining on their existing Xbox LIVE Gold membership, when you add him/her to your Family Pack, all four of the individual Xbox LIVE Gold accounts available in your Family Pack will be extended by
an additional three months. If you have two children who have four and six months of Gold remaining, respectively, on their existing Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions, all four of the individual Xbox LIVE Gold accounts available in your Family Pack will be extended
by an additional five months.
