VIP - can somebody please clarify?

So me and my bro share my Xbox but that cheeky B*stard installed it first on his account.
He is now VIP but only plays casually or not at all.
I am the one that plays the most AND with a lot friends…

But… I am not VIP… He is.

How do I resolve this matter?

Will there be codes or a single VIP pass to purchase seperatly?

Or am I stuck with buying the game again?

If its fixable and for instance I would buy the whole game again with my account - how would i know for me to be VIP as there are 2 copys of the game installed on 1 xbox?
Please discuss and help. Thank you so much. Greetings from Holland.

I don’t think the VIP is available for separate purchase yet? If so your only options would be to buy the whole game again on your account or contact Xbox Live support and see if they can help.

Right. That’s what I thought. Thanks guys for chiming in.

you cant share VIP i have had to buy VIP for Horizon 2 and still need to buy for Forza 6

I just spotted VIP membership for sale in GAME.co.uk at a price of £15.99. Delivery is a download code. I checked a few days ago and VIP was then only available as part of the digital bundle. Good news :slight_smile:

I just checked on the Microsoft Store but the VIP add on is still only available there as part of the bundle.

I’d wait a little while longer before buying the Ultimate Edition for VIP again. The game officially launches tomorrow so you might see VIP go up for sale alone as well.

Or a quick google search: http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-one/dlc/forza-motorsport-6-vip-membership/123881 will show you it’s availalbe for purchase all on it’s own for 20 USD.

Ah guys thanks so much for those links! I really hope that will work!!!
I will try this today or tomorrow.
Really happy eventho its gonna cost me money again :wink: but I am missing out on so much stuff.

Don’t buy a VIP code! You’re wasting your money, the code will redeem but your VIP still won’t work, someone has already tried this.

Wait WHAT? Really? How come?

So the only option still remains to buy the game completely AGAIN?
But what about my savegame then?

Savegame stays yours with all details unless you choose to delete the file. As previously mentioned, there is a separate part you can buy for just the VIP pass, as well as the car pass and the other tidbits that come with UE.

I am confused now as others said buying the VIP as a loose piece wouldn’t work for me…
I do hope the VIP pass will be separately sold on xbox store today or tomorrow but I haven’t heard anything about it yet.

Somebody also said buying the VIP pass on one of the website links wouldn’t work either.
Now I just dont know what will work and what will not :frowning:

The guy who said that doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

If you buy the vip pass and it is already installed on another profile your console won’t let you use the code because it thinks it’s already installed - because it is. The vip pass will work for you but you have to redeem it online at Xbox.com.

Ah superb.
So… I just delete the VIP pass I have now (the install file)
Then I buy a VIP pass (New from a specific website)
And then USE IT as a REDEEM CODE on Xbox.Com.

Is that correct?
Thanks again.
Really awesome community!

Assuming you haven’t already, highlight F6 from your dashboard, press the view button (select) and it should take you to the manage screen. Make sure there’s nothing there ready to install before you go and spend money on something. Most likely VIP is tagged per account not per console but it doesn’t hurt to check. Anything I buy I usually put the codes in on xbox.com anymore and not from the console. Easier to copy and paste codes than type em out of make em into a qr code. I also usually just buy currency and then buy what I want from xbox.com. Two reasons, build up my Xbox rewards and it tells you if you already own something. Instead of buying a specific code for the VIP just buy 20$ (convert to local currency obviously) and buy the VIP from xbox.com. that way it’s linked specifically to your account.

if it’s available I will DEF look into that. Thanks for the tips!

Okay so the VIP pass is available for purchase.

So I have to delete my VIP download.
Then buy it on Xbox.com (later today).

And then it should work right?

Ok I will try that. Thanks.

Edit - my bro already had it set up like that. It doesnt work for me.

I did. But PilotViper… Not to be a stupid person… but other people are having the same issue I am having.
I would love to hear from somebody who did what you say you have to do - and that it worked.

It’s not working for me :frowning: Sorry to say.
But thanks for helping out ofcourse.

True but I still think since everybody else is having the same trouble - it’s just that vip pass looks like it only works on 1 account name instead of an xbox with multiple family member accounts on it.

Horizon 2 worked the same way …but you can buy the VIP pass if you really wanted to by logging into xbox.com and buying it there
