XBOX ONE FAMILY GOLD SUBSCRIPTION....

StuArc · Dec 26, 2015

Merry Xmas all firstly.

Hi there,

I am a gold subscriber and have added my two children to my family on my home Xbox. They live at a different address and I enquire as to whether:

A) They can use my live account from their home address or

B) They will need their own gold accounts???

I've also downloaded Minecraft to my Xbox, but ask if my son could access this from his Xbox elsewhere??

Do Microsoft intend to allow Gold sharing for family on different xboxes???

Many thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR

:)

The family Gold subscription was discontinued earlier this year. The "Home Gold" feature will be released for Xbox One which will allow all profiles on a "home" console with a Gold subscription to access Gold features at the cost of just one subscription.

Xbox Live carry over?

Your Xbox Live Gold subscription carries over. Furthermore, one subscription can now be shared within your family.

They can only shsre your gold and content while they are using your Home console. They would need their own gold if they are using a different console.

Did you upgraded your account to a Gold Subscription or bought a Family Gold Pack? You shouldn't have been able to purchase a family gold pack as it has been discontinued and accounts are being converted to individual gold accounts making way for Xbox One's
Home Gold plan. If you already had a Family Gold Account and your accounts haven't been split into individual gold accounts you can review this

Add/Remove FAQ for the Family Pack. As an individual Gold subscription you cannot add members. You can review this

FAQ for more information about the conversion to the Xbox One Home Gold plan.

Since you don't have your own Xbox Live Gold subscription, you'll need to buy one, or join in a Family Pack if your family has one.

Hi there!

There's no need to deactivate Gold on your account so long as you designate your console as your home one and your child's account is also logged onto that XBox. See this article -

https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/subscriptions-billing/manage-subscriptions/share-xbox-live-gold-subscription

It's also worth noting that there's a whole number of things you can do to keep your child safe whilst playing XBox (https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/family-online-safety/browse)
so make sure you add them as a family member (https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/Family-Online-Safety/child-accounts/add-family-member-on-xbox-one).

Happy Gaming!
