  • @tintin8043 You can find the info on this error here:

  • @tintin8043

    You're signed into 2 accounts at the same time.

    Currently, and this is an issue. You cannot sign into 2 accounts to access Gamepass for SoT.

    The account that has game pass needs to set the console You're playing on as it's home console.

    I found it also affects Borderlands.

    It works for other games the way you're used to.

    You will need to get a second gamepass sub or change the gamepass sub to your Xbox as the home xbox. For now.

  • @pithyrumble amazing explanation. Very good. Thank you

    This isn't true I share gamepass with my nefew and we both play sot together the issue comes from having multiple accounts signed in on the same xbox like if you've been using an alt on another game, I haven't had home on my xbox for 3 years now

    You are correct. That will work fine, Gamepass accounts can play. Even on a non home xbox.
    Others can play on the GP home xbox. What is happening is people are signing into a
    GP account on a non home xbox to access GP, and also signing into an second non GP account to play. It worked fine up to S11.

  • What with all these posts and long sentence title.

    Which is as it should be.

    Otherwise I could buy one GP account and log it in on all the kids Xboxes and they could play GP games for free.

    Of course I am not a fan of free tech, being a software engineer I want to know where the free groceries, free housing, free gas, free vacations, etc are.
