Xbox Live Sharing Games with multiple profiles.

Charity Wiberg · May 23, 2023

We have two xbox’s, with multiple profiles on it. One profile has Xbox live to get games but if the Xbox isn’t a home Xbox we have to have that profile signed in to play on the other Xbox. Is there a way to change this? Since only one Xbox at a time can be a home Xbox. It’s getting annoying how we have to sign the other profile in order to use the games we bought.

If you live in Colombia, Chile, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, South Africa, or Sweden, you can purchase Game Pass Ultimate Friends and Family which would allow you to add up to 5 profiles to a subscription.

Otherwise, the only other option would be to purchase another Gold subscription on another profile.

Hi Jackie!

No worries, the game would be fine even if there are multiple profiles on the console. Also, instead of purchasing the game twice it is possible to set up

game sharing. This will allow the profiles to share games, Xbox Game pass and Xbox Live Gold.

By putting the account as the main account, you can share both gold membership, games and other services

I tried unplugging and restarting my Xbox and it still won't work. The weird thing is that I can play the games that i downloaded through Games with Gold but I just can't play online or join/make parties.

As long as your console is set as his Home, you would be able to access their gold without them needing to sign in. If it is set up correctly, try holding down the power button on the console until it turns off, unplugging the console, plug it back in, then
restarting it.

Also, keep in mind that sharing account information is a violation of the code of conduct/terms of service even if they are family.
