Xbox Closed Beta

Xbox question:

I just found a super cheap Xbox on Craigslist so my teenage son can play pso2 with me.
Q: Will he need Xbox live for this game? I have Live’s Ultimate Pass and wonder if they have a free “family plan” OR hopefully this game just needs internet connection and not tied to Live.
Any and all answers are appreciated!

The only way to share your Ultimate Pass is to set your son's XBox as your account's "Home" console; he can have his own account and can piggy back off of your Pass with all benefits, but only when he is logged into that console, and as long as you aren't actively signed-in on both (ie. make sure you don't auto-sign-in on your son's XBox), you can both play on separate consoles at the same time.

Also, looking at other f2p games on XBox (Warframe, Fortnite, etc.), it looks like Live will be needed. The only reason you didn't need it for PSU was because it had it's own subscription.
