Xbox Ultimate Pass unable to share with family

AlC689 · Dec 30, 2019

I setup an Xbox for my son and I used my e-mail account to setup the Microsoft payments for the app store and registered for the Ultimate Pass.

My son has his own account as part of my "family". I was told that he would have access as part of the family but it always prompts for purchase. How do I give him access to the Ultimate Pass? (it was meant for him in the first place. I don't use it.

:)

Thank you for the help. I thought it would give him access to use the pass, but it appears that he can access whatever was downloaded, but not have direct access to chose new games.

Good tip!

You would need to set his console as your Home console.
https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox The Home setting is what allows you to share games and gold. The family settings only allow you to have parental control over accounts and does not effect sharing.

It’s the Ultimate version

I should say that my son has his own account/Xbox gamer tag.

I’m sharing the Ultimate pass with him as a family member.

Yes I think there should be a Game Pass Ultimate Family package for 4 or 5 users to share.
