Hello all

I got 2 Xboxes. 1 mine and 1 the kid
Now both signed in with my game pass account

How can I do a share

Cos I started playing now and they also playing and doesn't allow me to play a game if they playing

So basically that Xbox needs to have its own account or some sort so the kids can do they own things but I also don't Want to pay for an extra account

On Kid's Xbox, do the following - Sign in with the account with Game Pass, Go to Settings > General > Personalization and My Home Xbox. Create an Account for Child and log in with their account. They should be able to play.

Then sign into your console and play as normal but remember you will need to be online on your console to play games.

We have 2 Xbox's 1 GamePass account.

Xbox Series X = My Home console. I use my account (GamePass) to install a game then log out and my wife log back in and play that locally installed game.

Xbox Series S = Log into it with my account, install and then play.

Edit: If you have data limits you can also use a USB drive to copy the game across.

Odd looking at the platforms they are targeting. People are still pissed cross-gen doesn't work but they are doing cross-play rather lol

I managed to pick up a new controller for R850, the place was getting rid of it cause the box was 'damaged'. Yet getting home the box had a small ding in the corner.

My friends would ostracize me if i even mention Doom/Quake in the same sentence as console.
It's one of those titles I'll have to keep on PC alongside anything RTS. Although Halo wars isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Halo Wars works because it was designed for it from the ground up.

Doom (modern) as well, but Quake not so much and it shows a little.

But also, get better friends.

I've played against a friend who was on older Xbox one X, or did I get my wires crossed?
 
Okay so setting the console to energy saving drops the electric usage by 30w, that can add up over a month.
