"You have to be online to play that game" Only secondary account error.

Yeah, you could.

I assume you have Game Pass Ultimate already on your primary account. If that's the case, make sure your console is set as that account's home Xbox, then create a secondary gamertag to use on the console. Use the primary account on the PC and the secondary account on the console.

Doing it that way means you don't have to spend any extra money at all, given that the game is part of Game Pass on console and PC, and you only need to pay to play online on console, so the benefits of your existing Ultimate sub can be shared with the secondary gamertag on your Xbox.

Welcome!! I agree with the above posters- each person should have their own profiles. I also recommend the family gold pack- one primary (adult) account and 3 secondary accounts. The secondary accounts will be restricted in what they can do, but if your
spouse wants to take the third secondary, they just need the password and can do anything you can do: dowload, purchase, etc if you set it up as an adult account. When setting up ages, be aware that your children will not be able to play EA games online until
they are 13- all other games are fine. We have three under the age of 10 here too who play online with strict settings (only people they know can hear them or message them) You will LOVE it. Lots of fun!!

Hey Cody,

Thank you for reaching out, we'll try our best to sort this out for you. With most games, you are able to use a guest account to splitscreen or "couch co-op" no problem. Some developers however, require a secondary account to play together for one reason
or another. Depending on the game you wish to play, you may or may not need to setup another account. As our great ambassador Randy mentioned, you would only need a gold subscription for one of the accounts if you are planning on going co-op for an online
game. Hope this clears some things up, if you wish to get info on a certain game of franchise we encourage you to reach out to that developer's site. I personally enjoy good old Borderlands and since I do play online, I have a secondary account just in case
a buddy wants to tag along for some mayhem.

actually some dlc that is brought for some games cant be played by another gamertag even if it is still on the console that brought, i know this as i have a secondary account and can only play certain dlc on certain games. Other then that it says i have
to buy it again on the secondary account. but this needs to be confirm by xbox support

You will be able to use a secondary account on the PC to play the game on the secondary account in the Pc in Xbox it's possible also to use a secondary account sharing the game making that Xbox the home Xbox of the account that purchased the game
