Xbox Live on 2 consoles

ChillImp76 · Jan 5, 2014

My son got an xbox 360 for Christmas for his bedroom. We already have a Live membership on the Xbox 360 in the living room. Can he use the same account to play live on his new xbox?

Xbox One Price drop

can you not fudge it to two?

I thought if I had a console and I had live then any player on that console gets live,

if I go and play on any console when I am logged in I still have live.

So if I had three folks with consoles, I could buy live for console 1 and 3 but have players 1 or 3 always use xbox 2, as they will get live benefits on the box without it, and the person without live can use one of the xbox's that have live baked in ?

its all a big faff, hopefully they will come up with a similar sort of live family arrangementClick to expand...

I thought they were getting rid of the family live membership because you could have so many members under your live account now at no added cost? So it should work out cheaper... at least I thought that's what they said at their E3 conference.

Plus if you're in the same situation to myself you'll lose the Family Gold membership - 3 separate Gold payments from now on Click to expand...

Yes. You can use an account on any console, but you can only be signed into one console at a time.

The new Xbox will need it's own subscription with that new account also being set as the home Xbox account. You may want to start a family account so you can monitor things, set restrictions or time limits etc. Here is how to do that -

Thanks all for the replies, will have a look into the links!.

Hopefully I can set up "Family controls" over both consoles easily enough.

Hello Shane, thanks for quick reply!.

Can I have my gamer tag/ account as the "parent" on both consoles or do I need to make a fresh Parent account for the new Xbox One?.

Yes. You can use an account on any console, but you can only be signed into one console at a time.
