Xbox Ultimate Game Pass subscription for my child

Just to be sure, does your child have a paid subscription to Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate?

Hello, if you have an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, then you only need one subscription for your two children to play together online.

That's because Xbox Game Pass Ultimate includes all the benefits of Xbox Game Pass Core, including access to online multiplayer games.

If you have an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription, then you will need a subscription for each child. This is because Xbox Game Pass Core does not include access to online multiplayer games.

If you have an Xbox Game Pass for PC subscription, then you don't need a subscription for your two kids to play together online. This is because online multiplayer games on PC are free.

Hi Matt B, My name is Vanessa, an independent advisor, and I'm here to guide you on your case.

Yes, you need to remove your child's account from the family in order for them to use their Xbox Game Pass Core subscription. When a child account is in an adult's family, it inherits access to the adult's Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. In this case, your child is inheriting your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which allows you to play games on two consoles at the same time.

If you remove your child's account from the family, you will need to re-configure it as an adult account. This will allow you to assign them an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription, which only allows you to play games on one console at a time.

To remove your child's account from the family, follow these steps:

Sign in to your Xbox account on the Xbox website.
Click on the "My Family" menu.
Search for your child's account and click on "Remove."
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
Once you have removed your child's account from the family, you can assign them an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription. To do this, follow these steps:

Sign in to your child's account on the Xbox website.
Click on the "My Account" menu.
Click on "Subscriptions."
Click on "Add a subscription."
Select "Xbox Game Pass Core."
Enter the Xbox Game Pass Core subscription code.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process.
Once you have assigned the Xbox Game Pass Core subscription to your child's account, the games should appear as available to play. If they do not, it is possible that you will need to uninstall the content that they downloaded and re-download it through Xbox Game Pass Core.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Laura, this message appears because your child's account is a child and it is not enable for purchases, in which case you can put your child's account in a Family and enable the purchase of the subscription for their account.

The other way to uprgrade from Live Gold to Game Pass Ultimate would be to buy a 25-digit Game Pass Utimate card and redeem it in your child's account, so the time he has of Gold will convert to Ultimate.

Hello Packsteel,

Thanks for coming to the forums. When you have an active Ultimate game pass subscription, any code redeemed converts to Ultimate subscription. In this case 12 months of Xbox live gold convert to 4 months of Ultimate game pass. The ultimate game pass subscription
is three subscriptions in one, Xbox live gold, Game pass for console, and Game pass for PC. Here is the

Ultimate game pass FAQ for more information.

Thanks,

Brad
