Xbox live subscription family

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.

Hi there,

do you have a family pack subscription or a gold subscription, because you will need an active family pack subscription to be able to do so.

If you don't have a family pack subscription, you can't get it anymore, as it is discontinued and the only other option would be to get a seperate xbox live subscription for that other account.

If you do have a family gold pack subscription take a look at this link:
support.xbox.com/.../managing-family-members

Additionally, be sure to read
the fine-print regarding the 2-year LIVE subscription. There are some differences between this and a "normal" LIVE subscription. One being that you would
NOT be eligible for the Family Gold subscription.

OP: This was taken from the Family Plan FAQ (www.xbox.com/.../FamilyPackFAQ) which I highly suggest you take a look at before purchasing a Family Plan for your family. Let me know
if you have any other questions.

Q: I am currently an Xbox LIVE Gold member. If I have time remaining on my current subscription, do I receive a discount on an Xbox LIVE Gold Family Pack?

A: We will give existing Xbox LIVE Gold members a prorated discount on the purchase of a Family Pack. For each month remaining on your current Xbox LIVE Gold subscription, we will reduce the purchase price of a Family Pack by $5. For example, if you have
six months of your Gold subscription remaining, you qualify for a $30 discount and will only be charged $69.99 at the time of purchase. If you have 20 months or more of your current Xbox LIVE Gold subscription remaining, you can upgrade to an Xbox LIVE Gold
Family Pack for free. You will not receive a refund for any remaining subscription time in excess of 20 months.

If that family member's Microsoft account does not have an Xbox Live Gold (or Game Pass Ultimate) subscription connected to it, it will then have to rely on whatever subscriptions that their device's Home Xbox setting has with it. The Microsoft account
family feature does not extend subscriptions to those accounts.
