Playing on Xbox and through browser using XCloud

martinpitel · Jan 23, 2022

Hi all,

I would have thought this was possible?

My son is playing a game on our xbox using his kid account linked to my main xbox account, and then I use my xbox account to log into xbox game pass ultimate and then want to play an xcloud game through Microsoft Edge browser, but every-time my game starts up it displays a message on the xbox saying that my user has started a game somewhere else and my son then has to decide who can play. On the browser it displays this

You’re playing somewhere else

You’re allowed to play one game at a time. To play here instead, launch your game again.

Is this correct or what do I have todo to get this to work? I have made my xbox the home xbox.

Surely we should be able to play two games, one on xbox and one of xcloud using Xbox Ultimate?

:)

Cheers,

I got it to work by signing myself out of the actual xbox and then using xcloud, so my son is signed into the xbox and playing a seperate game, and it works now! Also assigned my xbox as the home console.

your account can only be used in one place at a time, cloud gaming cannot be shared with other accounts, that is a perk for the subscriber only.

No, you will need a Windows PC to run Game Pass games. You can use games that are on xCloud in your browser but you will need the Game Pass Ultimate subscription, it's in a region that xCloud supports and a controller. But unfortunately, so far, Minecraft is not on xCloud but it has great games there that you can enjoy. You can play cloud games in your browser at xbox.com/play.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. Microsoft has the Xcloud service that is included as a benefit for people who subscribe to the ultimate game pass. As a subscriber to the service, you could play Xbox games via streaming, through your PC Xbox app, or browsers.

Learn more about xcloud through the link below:

- In order to use xcloud, your country must support the service, check the list of countries at the link below.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

But you don't use any code in your phone to run Xcloud games, it's like streaming a video, as Xcloud runs trough the browser
