Can’t play my husbands game pass games.

mcfoodstores · May 8, 2022

Some thing happened recently and I now cannot play the games on my Xbox that I used to. Error 0x803f900a). This happened yesterday. My husband downloaded sniper elite 4 on game pass. He has the Xbox ultimate subscription. When he downloads a game, I can download a game on my Xbox and play it even though I don’t have Xbox ultimate.

Is this no longer something we can do? Will I have to get my own subscription in order to play games online with him? I have had sniper elite on my Xbox for quite a while now with no issues. Tried on other games too, they all give me the same error.

We can’t seem to share anymore, it’s like the Xboxes don’t know we are part of a family unit anymore.

Hi,

you should check your account, if you made your console accidently your "Home console" as well, cause then it wouldn't work anymore..

ONLY your husbands account should be the home console account and ONLY on your console and NOT on his console !

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Just a friendly reminder though that setting up a family setting does not mean that the game and subscriptions will be shared to their account, it is a feature where you can manage a child account.

To get this fixed, you need to set your husband's account as Home Xbox on the console in that way all profiles logged in to the console will be able to use your husband's subscriptions and games.

1. Sign in to your account.

2. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

3. Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

4. Check "Make this as My Home Xbox".

I have the same type question. My daughter got a gaming PC for Christmas. We have xbox game pass ultimate. The subscription is in my husbands name and my daughter plays under my name. I can sign her into the computer under my husbands name and download
the games, but for games that offer online parties (especially ones that don't offer couch/split screen) I would like to play with her, me using the xbox and her on her computer. However, when I try to do this, I cannot invite her to the game. Can someone
walk me through, if this is possible, who has to be signed on where? It acts like we both have to be signed on as my husband or I can't access the games on the computer, and then we can't play together because we send the invite to our self? Our xbox is
already set to the home xbox. What am I doing wrong?

Digital games and add ons cannot be transferred between accounts, however if both your husband and son play on the same console, your husband can set the console as his home console and your son will be able to play any games your husband's account has.
