Forums - Microsoft Discussion - I want another Xbox One. *edit* I got it!

I game in two rooms.

My gaming room has

PS4, PS3, WiiU, Xbox360, and Xbox One with a Kinect

My living room has

Xbox360, PSTV, and Ouya

 

I like the idea of having another Xbox One in the living room to play games and utilize the media functions, especially Kinect! I can already access my PS4 in the living room thanks to my PSTV. The 360 is slowly becoming obsolete but still gets played periodically. Anyway, I may get another "One" tomorrow but I have some questions.

 

1. Can I play all of my digital titles on my second One?

2. Can someone else use my Gold subscription on the second console like they can on the first?

3.  If, for example, I have Gears of War on Xbox One, can we play co-op in different rooms?

4. Will all of my pins and stuff be on the second console?

5. I have a portable 2TB HDD on my current console. Can switch it from console to console without problems?

 

I'm pretty excited about a second console but I don't want to have to pay for Gold twice in one house. I already pay for both Gold and PS Plus! That would be too much. 

Thanks!

I understand partly what you are trying to do with co-op and all, but you do know that you can stream your Xbox One to any Windows 10 PC?

I say this as I personally use a Laptop connected to my TV 24/7 for all my media consumption. I use it also for Steam streaming. You can do the same with Xbox and save a lot of money assuming you have an available laptop.



1. Yes
2. Dont know, sounds like that could be exploited.
3. Dont understand question. LAN multiplayer? Probably depends on the game.
4. Yes, wallpaper doesent move over though.
5. Yes

I have two X1s. I bought a MS refurb on ebay with some games for $250.

Yeah, I've done it before. It's pretty sweet but the things that  prompted me to want another console are

Co op on the same home, Kinect voice controls for my tv and stuff, and the fact that a co-worker gave me some sweet Bose surround sound speakers. I got them connected on Friday and now I want to let them rip!

Thank you, kind Pug. Any other questions I come up with will be directed to you!

 

And yeah, like wireless LAN but if I log in on the second console and the game is downloaded on the first, I hope my daughter and I can play with each other or better yet, go online and play at the same time in a multiplayer match!

1. Yes. If you're signed into your account, you can play any game you have purchased on that account. On any Xbox One you sign in on (this is easier with an external HD that you can move between consoles so you don't have to download the game again)

2. Make your account with the gold sub, the "Home Xbox" for the Xbox you would be sharing. This can only be done on one X1 though. So if you have 2 X1's, make the one you would be sharing the "Home Xbox" for your account with the Gold sub. Then anyone who signs in on the "Home Xbox" can have access to your Gold sub, and any games you have bought or d/l for free.

3. I'm assuming this question is for digital? Yes, but only if if the other person is signed in (with their account) on the Xbox which is the "Home Xbox" for your main account (with the Gold sub which I'm assuming is the one you would buy Gears on). You would then be signed in with your main account on the non-Home Xbox for this account. You would have access to the game because you're playing on your main account (which can play the game on any X1 since you purchased the game... or back to the answer for question1) and they would also have access to the game because they're playing on the "Home Xbox" (back to question 2) and anyone playing on the "Home Xbox" will have access to the games you purchased. Just make sure they're signed into the Home Xbox with a different account from your main account. Your main account would be signed into the other Xbox. And Yes you can play it at the same time.

4. The pins are attached to your Xbox account. So if you're signed into your main account, you will see your pins. If you sign into another account, you will see the pins for that account.

5. Yes.

I do this with two ps4's and my son. 

I originally got two ps4's because I read MS wasn't going to allow this after the family pack being discontinued. 

However, I know someone who does it and I believe he said it works the same as on ps4. 

You buy the digital title once to be shared.  Child plays on main x1 since gold can be shared (much like psn sub account) adult or owner logs into secondary as oneself.  The primary has to be the one the child, gold sharing (I.e. Psn sub account S similarity) and secondary is used by digital owner. 

I don't own two X1's I've never checked but see if it states games can be used concurrently by up to two individuals as PSN states. 

 

I hope it works for you. I do this with my son and we play together and it's great since split screen went the way of the dinosaur. 



l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble?  If not, I'll keep looking.  

 

 

 

 

I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?  

Marco....

You guys have been a tremendous help! Thank you!



You're a lucky person. I guess one Xbox One will have to do :).



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Do you guys remember the 3 PS3s guy? lol
