xlly.s · Jan 28, 2023

So, I know it doesn't work with 2 Xbox's.

But say I install a game on my pc, via Microsoft store, which is on the same account as my Xbox.

And on my Xbox I install another game, which is on the same Microsoft account as the PC.

Will we able to play at the same time, on the same account.

Basically can 2 people on the same account, but on different devices (Pc, Xbox) Play at the same time.

Hi,

No, but on the console, if you've set your machine as the 'Home Xbox' you can use another account which can also share the Xbox Live subscription and the installed games from the main account. Then, on the PC, you can continue to use the main account and play at the same time as the person using the console.

This only works between either a console and a PC or two consoles. It's not possible to share accounts between two PCs.

Yes, you can, the only thing you can't do is log in on the same account and play games using two Xbox consoles, and play a game that is an Xbox play anywhere game using the same account on two different devices (Xbox & PC).

Hi Mr!

I am afraid that it's not possible to access your subscription or licenses on two different PCs at the same time. The Xbox on Windows doesn't work the same as home Xbox for Xbox consoles.

On PC, it's possible to share your subscription by signing in the account that has the subscription to the Microsoft Store and sign in the player's account via the Xbox app. But this doesn't mean it can be played simultaneously on multiple devices.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. Only 2 people can play at the same time, however, this only works on Xbox because the console has the function to set it as a home device which would allow you 2 to play at the same time on the Console.

For the sharing to work on the PC, the person who subscribes to the service or who purchased the game would need to log in with the account that has the license in the Microsoft Store on the other pc, and the person who uses that other PC would log their account into the Xbox application in order to start the game.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.
