  1. Does Minecraft Windows 10 Edition come with Xbox Live?


    I know Minecraft Pocket Edition comes with Xbox Live for free so you can log in and play with friends anywhere, but on an Xbox you have to buy Xbox Live to play online multiplayer. I'm wondering if Windows 10 Edition comes with it or if I will have to purchase it again after my subscription expires in May.

    :)

    Minecraft Windows 10 Edition not connecting to my XBOX Live account.

    I've already looked up my problem and found a list of reasons why my Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft on the PC wasn't connecting to my XBOX Live account. I found out that my purchase of the game wasn't through my Microsoft account, which was one of the
    reasons for me not connecting to XBOX Live was. Whenever I click sign into XBOX Live in Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, it comes up with a little gray box for about 2-3 seconds and then cuts out and does nothing. It says something about a making a free XBOX
    Live account, so I don't understand why I'd have even needed to purchase it through my PC's Microsoft account. That's strange.

    Does Minecraft Windows 10 Edition come with Xbox Live?

    Using Minecraft Windows 10 Edition with XBOX Live

    So... This has been 7 days+ in the making, but after going back and forth between calling and live-chatting with Microsoft Technical Support and XBOX technical support, 'they' have recommended I "ask the community". Here goes.

    I have a child who loves Minecraft -- so rare.

    She has downloaded "Minecraft Windows 10 Edition" for her laptop, and wants to play it online with her friends. This is done in conjunction with XBOX live, but does not require an XBOX in order to play (it just uses their servers to host people across different
    platforms).

    However, it does require certain "Privacy and Safety Settings" to be set up. This has to be set within XBOX.COM, located here:

    https://account.xbox.com/en-US/Settings

    When on this page, you should see your Gamertag (as the parent) followed by the Gamertags of your children. You can verify who is a child on your account by reviewing your "Microsoft Family" here:

    Microsoft account | Your family

    However... in my case, I do NOT see my child's Gamertag on the XBOX Settings page, even though she is properly listed and active as a child on my Microsoft Family page. It lists no children on my XBOX account, just my own Gamertag.

    This results in her receiving the following messages when trying to access the multiplayer aspects of Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition ---

    "You cannot add friends because of how your XBOX LIVE account is set up. This can be changed in your 'Privacy and online safety settings' on XBOX.COM"

    and

    "You cannot play online multiplayer because of how your XBOX LIVE account is set up. This can be changed in your 'Privacy and online safety settings' on XBOX.COM"

    We have repeatedly followed the seemingly simple instructions within both Microsoft and XBOX.COM to add my child. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. We have conducted live chat sessions with XBOX and Microsoft both, but what should be simple
    is just not working correctly.

    We do not see our child's Gamertag listed alongside the parent on our XBOX account, and as a result can't adjust the specific settings required for her to convince XBOX to give her the access. Even when I have my own settings correctly adjusted it does not
    flow down to her account.

    I want this to work properly, and as intended... My child as a child on my XBOX account, but with the proper permissions so that she can play this stupid game and leave me alone...

    For moderators interested in not suggesting something I've already tried, here's a session number to review first:
    1345660439



    Any new revelation and things to try will be greatly appreciated Does Minecraft Windows 10 Edition come with Xbox Live? :) By her more than me.
