Yes I believe you can do this so long as the game has cross play and you have your Home console set correctly.So, I have Gamepass ultimate. If I log in on my PC and xbox, can I play with my brother online?
Thanks
it doesnt allow you to share on the same account. different account yes, but not the same account.So, I have Gamepass ultimate. If I log in on my PC and xbox, can I play with my brother online?
Thanks
I was wondering this too now that I’ve got 2 Xbox’s in the house. I’m assuming you have to pay 2 subscriptions?
just use the one set as your home console with the account with no Gamepass/Gold.
They then get access to all your stuff and you can log in on the other machine with your account. You can play the same game together that way.
Not really endgame, you just need to understand how the Xbox/Microsoft Store license system works. I only ran into two games with an second control system which avoids PC license sharing wihtin a family and so simultaneous gaming.Yeah its easy.
the true endgame for me is playing on 2 pcs and 1 xbox at the same time, I already have 2 different profiles sharing my pc gp and ive managed to get into a game at the same time but didn't manage to get into an online game together. just the xbox with 1 pc.

/Edit: of course you can only have one divice playing one game on the same account at the same time.

This is the proper way op- Make Xbox home console (google that shit)
- Install game on Xbox from your Gamepass account
- Have your brother login to that console from a different account
- Log into PC w/ your GamePass account
- Play games
It won’t. They need a separate account to share entitlements and thus a separate save. The Xbox and pc will say this account is active elsewhere and force you to choose which one to play on before launching the game, so that’s not a problemMight fuck up your cloud saves.
Yep just make the one s your home console and when he signs in on his account he gets your entitlements and can play with you/download GP games. You just sign in on your account elsewhereDamn, this thread has been somewhat helpful and I've been thinking about setting up my old Xbox One S for my son and making a children's account for him. I just wasn't sure if he'd be able to use my game pass.
You sure this works ?- Make Xbox home console (google that shit)

You sure this works ?
Because I remember I had 2 xbox ( series X for me and S for my son ) . I used to log in to my account on his xbox and then he can use his account to play games. but as soon as I try to play on my xbox, it will ask me to either kick him out of his session or cancel from my side.
This is strange. Because right now my account on his xbox is not "Home" xbox. yet he still login to his account and play. But I will try it your way. sit his xbox as home console and use mine to login to my account. hopefully this worksHe has to play on your home xbox with his account. Then you login on the "non" home xbox with your main account. Assuming I have that right in my head......

One question if I may; can I configure GPU on my PC prior the Xbox Series X? Can't find one in store right now but I would like to play TWW3 with GPU.- Make Xbox home console (google that shit)

Yeah but I was wondering if it would lock up my GPU to my PC only or it will be available on the eventual XSX as well.Yes. Don't even need a PC to sign up.
There's no "locking it up", gamepass ultimate means console + pc + gold, and it's tied to your microsoft account, so wherever you log in with it, you have gamepass.Yeah but I was wondering if it would lock up my GPU to my PC only or it will be available on the eventual XSX as well.
Great and my daughter will be able to use gamepass titles as well on her account without the need to purchase of another gpu right? Thanks!There's no "locking it up", gamepass ultimate means console + pc + gold, and it's tied to your microsoft account, so wherever you log in with it, you have gamepass.
she'll only have gamepass ultimate access on her account, if your gamepass ultimate account is on the system that is set as "home".Great and my daughter will be able to use gamepass titles as well on her account without the need to purchase of another gpu right? Thanks!
Yeah so that's why I was asking if setting up the GPU on PC prior to have an Xbox would cause any issue; would I be able to set the Xbox as "home" thereafter ? Sorry, I don't know how to explain it better in English.she'll only have gamepass ultimate access on her account, if your gamepass ultimate account is on the system that is set as "home".
You can change device set as the home system anytime.Yeah so that's why I was asking if setting up the GPU on PC prior to have an Xbox would cause any issue; would I be able to set the Xbox as "home" thereafter ? Sorry, I don't know how to explain it better in English.
So we could play Age of Empires on two PCs with the same GPU? That sounds even better!She has access to everything that's set to your home.
So you log in on xbox, set it as home, she logs in and can use your stuff.
If 2 pcs then you log in on store on both and she logs into game pass app.

It's two different accounts.But wait, I could do that even with my father PC ? How they validate where I'm truly logged on? IP address?
Yeah, but If I logged on his computer, will he had access to my GPU with his account? Sorry to bother, I just wondering what's the difference..?It's two different accounts.
As mentioned above, only the "home" system gets to enjoy gold or gamepass that another account on that system has.Yeah, but If I logged on his computer, will he had access to my GPU with his account? Sorry to bother, I just wondering what's the difference..?
Alright, I guess I'll have to fiddle a bit to get my head around it. If I get it right, it means that my daughter will have to connect to her own Xbox account on PCs if she wants to play with me to a PC game on both PCs. I still have to find a XSX but I'll probably use GPU on PC this very weekend. If we can play together at Forza or Minecraft Dungeons, it would be nice, that's for sure.As mentioned above, only the "home" system gets to enjoy gold or gamepass that another account on that system has.
On pc this is slightly different, you need to use the gamepass account to log into the store, whoever wants to use the xbox app then has to log into their own account.
A "home" system also allows for offline play, and you can set your "offline device" as well for pc.
So you can not have multiple xboxes or multiple pcs that get the gamepass accounts offline benefits; one xbox and one pc.
If the pcs are always online, sharing the account's access should work as long as it's logged into the microsoft store.
yeah basically if YOUR account has GPU, you set the devices as your Home PC and Home Xbox. Then, secondary accounts on the PC and Xbox can use those benefits without having their own unique subscription. Then, you can play on Xbox and she can play on PC under one sub, same game. And Vice Versa. I find it easier to have the subber like you on PC and the alternative playing on Xbox, but both should work.Alright, I guess I'll have to fiddle a bit to get my head around it.

Thanks! So if I want two PCs to work on the same game, I got that I kept one connected to my GPU (on my Xbox gamertag) and the laptop "offline" of the gamestore (on her gamertag). Sorry, I feel dumb but once I'll try it, it will probably make more sense for me.yeah basically if YOUR account has GPU, you set the devices as your Home PC and Home Xbox.

I personally haven't tried two PCs so I'm not sure how it works there. I think you would need to sign in to the Laptop and set it as your main PC and she can play on her gamertag and then you play signed in on your gamertag on your pc. Windows seems funkier with how it shares entitlements compared to xboxThanks!
