I am much more a PlayStation user and not a real online / multiplayer kind of guy.

My daughter, however, wants to play Fortnite with her.....little boyfriend....sigh....yep here we are but I digress.

Anyhoo... Can I create a sub account for her under my XBox account? Is live Gold all that’s necessary for online/multiplayer gaming?

I am sure I can run all this down but, honestly, the Xbox UI kinda infuriates me with all its clutter, so I figured I’d ask.

Thanks much all,
Chris

Not a smart xbox user by any stretch of the imagination but i've never heard of sub-accounts.

On the other hand, Gold is
on its way out AFAIK and Ultimate replaces it.
Been a Gold user for many years and only switched a few months ago.
If you switch from Gold to Ultimate there was a special offer worth looking into.

To play online you better have a paying account

0-0

You can create as many users as you want and then you will want to "Share" your Gold membership with them. You can also set up a Family and share Gold with the family.

If you need more help, let me know and I will find the place in the settings menu where you can get this all set up.

Thanks all. It was a pain in the ass but I think I got it.

Also it does appear to be sharing the game pass/live so should be good to go.

I appreciate it.

If you are sharing the same console you share everything. If you go to separate consoles it gets trickier to share gamepass but not too bad
