How to play together in the same house?

  • Hello. I have the game via xbox gamepass. The wife really likes the game as well. I have it installed on my xbox and my PC (play anywhere). Is all that's needed is to create a new microsoft account on my PC and buy the game through the microsoft store? I don't have to buy Gold or anything else on the other account would I?

    EDIT: Obviously this is so we can both play together.

    Thank you for any help!

  • Make sure to make your Xbox One "my home xbox", this is done in the settings. More information here.

    That way any games you have downloaded, as well as Gold, will be shared with all accounts signed in on the console. This means your wife will be able to play the game and play online.

    You can then play the game on PC. You don't need Gold to play online on PC.

  • There is the family share option so that you don’t have to buy another copy of the game - add your wife’s account to your family share and then she can play the game anywhere. Though, I’ve heard that there can be disconnect issues if you’re playing together on the same network... or, maybe they’ve fixed that. I use it to have multiple pirates.

  • Thank you everyone for your responses! You all saved me some money because I was just going to buy another copy. Good to know I didn't have to.
