XBOX Live Gold, Two Xbox Ones, Four gamer accounts - Please help

Matey(2) · Feb 22, 2021

Hello,

Please help. I'm dad and admin of our Microsoft Family account, in a family of two teenage boys, and mum.

We currently have two xbox ones in different rooms, one monthly subscription to xbox gold live, and four gamer accounts.

We can't seem to all play online on all xboxes?

Please can someone explain what we need so that at any time, any one or two of us can log on to any of the xboxes and play any or the same (purchased) games?

Hope this makes sense.

Many thanks,

Paul.

Hi I believe that for 2 consoles to play online at the same time you would need buy 2 Xbox live subscriptions. As one subscription only works for one player.

Yes, it's possible:

Q: Can I add existing Xbox LIVE Gold members to my Family Pack? For example, my kids are already Xbox LIVE Gold members.

A: Yes. When an existing Xbox LIVE Gold member is added to a Family Pack, the remaining time on their Gold membership benefits the whole family! For every two months remaining on their current Gold membership, the entire family receives an extra month of
Xbox LIVE Gold. For example, if your child has six months remaining on their existing Xbox LIVE Gold membership, when you add him/her to your Family Pack, all four of the individual Xbox LIVE Gold accounts available in your Family Pack will be extended by
an additional three months. If you have two children who have four and six months of Gold remaining, respectively, on their existing Xbox LIVE Gold subscriptions, all four of the individual Xbox LIVE Gold accounts available in your Family Pack will be extended
by an additional five months.

You could do it with two Xbox Live accounts and two lots of the games. Their are four of you, depending on how many consoles (Xbox Ones) you are thinking of adding, depends on how to do it. If you have four consoles, for instance, you have Xbox Live Gold,
so set child 1's console as your Home Xbox. They can then use your Xbox Live Gold and access your copies of the game. You set child 2 up with Xbox Live Gold, plus the second copy of the games and set child 3's console as Home Xbox. Child 2 and yourself can
sign in on your own Xbox and use Xbox Live and the games you have.
