"You're already playing on a different Xbox"

FullNeckBeard · Apr 3, 2022

I have 3 Xboxes in my house, a One S (son), a One X (daughter), and a series X (mine). One for me and one for each of my kids. We are trying to play PAID games (my son playing Untitled Goose Game, and I am trying to play Civilization Revolution) not Game Pass or Gold games, both offline, and I keep getting the "already playing on a a different Xbox" message. Even on physical disc games (I tried Final Fantasy X remastered). I have set my series X to home console, and tried multiple things, but one of us keeps getting kicked out. Anyway to fix this? And why is this even a thing on DISC games?

:)

Hi FullNeckBeard! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

You can't use the same profile on 2 consoles at the same time, each one should have his own Xbox account, you can share the games on 2 consoles by using the home Xbox feature, but the third console will need to purchase the games/suscription again, on disc games this doesn't apply as you can use the disc on any of the consoles

This could be because you are using cloud gaming in the same console or using a PC to play or a mobile device, you can try login out of all devices, including the console, after that power cycle the console and download the account again

Well ask him not to play on your profile

If he is playing cloud games that would be why

Only the subscriber can use cloud and roam

The message you receive indicating that you are already playing on Xbox One S may appear when there is an account or connection conflict on your Xbox.

Try completely turning off your Xbox One S and then turning it on again. This can help reset any temporary settings or conflicts that may be causing the problem.

Sign out of all accounts Go to your Xbox settings and make sure to sign out of all accounts that are activated on the console. Then, sign in again with your main account and check if the problem persists.

Make sure your Xbox One S is properly connected to the Internet. Check that the cables are securely connected and that you have a stable connection. You can also try restarting your router or modem to make sure there are no connectivity issues.

The system cache on your Xbox One S can accumulate temporary data that can cause problems. Try clearing the cache by following these steps:

Turn off your Xbox One S.
Disconnect the power cable from the back of the console.
Wait at least 10 seconds and then reconnect the power cord.
Turn on your Xbox One S and check if the problem persists.

If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, you may consider resetting your Xbox One S to factory settings. However, keep in mind that this will delete all data and custom settings from your console, so be sure to back up any important information before performing this step.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding! If you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Ask your son to do this on your Xbox console as well for his account.

Once all done, make sure to hit the sign-out button, and ask your son to do it as well.
