Can I have 2 different XBoxs and only 1 EA account to use on both?

Long story short: I travel a lot between east coast and west coast and my son had what he thought was a brilliant idea to have an Xbox in each of our apartments so that we could play Madden when we travel and still complete the daily challenges on his EA account.

So my question is: is that even possible? Can you have just 1 EA account but use it for two separate Xboxs - as long as only one is logged in at any time?

Has anyone done this? Is it a total pain in the neck to do? Is there an easier solution? Thanks!

Do you have to keep logging in and out of each one or does it just automatically log out of the one you’re not using and then sign you back in when you use it?

Also - do you have to set up one of the Xbox’s as the “Home Device” or does that not matter?

The game is smart enough to sync the data between both. You can stay logged into both consoles with no issues. And you can download all your games at no additional cost to your other console (assuming both are XB or both are PS). I travel all the time for work and take an S with me with a G-Story, and have the X that stays at home. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me.
