A growing number of gamers are facing hurdles when trying to share Xbox Game Pass Ultimate among family members, raising eyebrows within the community. With the closed-off experience detracting from gaming enjoyment, many are left searching for answers to this sharing dilemma.
What's Happening?
A player wanted to share their Game Pass Ultimate subscription with their niece, who couldn't afford games. After setting the niece's Xbox as the "home" console, issues arose. They can't play games simultaneously, causing frustration for both.
Community Reactions
Gamers on user boards are chiming in with helpful insights:
Console Set-Up: A common tip suggests removing the primary account from the niece's Xbox after designating it as home.
Sign-In Confusion: Many question why the account remains signed in, which seems contrary to their setup knowledge. Users emphasize that only the home Xbox should manage the Ultimate access, "You don’t need to log in again after setting home."
Same Account Restrictions: There’s consensus that sharing the same account leads to gameplay interruptions.
"Why do people stay signed in?" - one user pondered, highlighting a key point of confusion within the community.
Key Insights
▲ Many players emphasize removing the primary account post-home Xbox setup.
▼ Players report that simultaneous game play is not possible with the same account.
※ "Curiosity leads to shared solutions," one gamer remarked about exploring alternatives.
Despite the frustration, players continue to seek fixes, with some suggesting signing in from the niece's account at the primary home Xbox. The distance between consoles (over 1.5 hours) adds complexity, but users remain hopeful.
