    Home console game sharing not working


    Hi, I have set my home console on my brother's console and he has tried to access my gamepass ultimate but it's not letting him? We have tried it that his console is both mine and his home console and that my actual console is is home console and his is mine but neither has worked. Does anyone know a fix?

    :)

    Did the update and can't play my shared games

    Hey Dark! In order for you play shared games your brother has to be signed into that console and make it his home console in order to share games. That's the way the game sharing works.

    games share with two xbox ones in same house issues

    You can only share the games on the console that is the Home console. In order to use the games on a second console, you have to use the account that owns the game. So since the Forza console is now your Home console, both profiles would have to use that
    console in order to share the games. So it is working as it's supposed to.

    Can two people make my home xbox on the same console?

    If you want to share games only one person can do it on one console !

    If the other person make it home console too, sharing will not work anymore !

    That's the reason why switching to home console is limited to 3 times a year ...

    Questions about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate

    The share works on the you home console and you online profile, you cant sign in with you profile in 2 pcs in same time, so share only work in you home console and PC. or in you home console + another console.

    Game Pass Sharing Issues

    No. It works the same whether you purchase the games or play them from Game Pass. They will only share on your Home console or if you are signed into a non-Home console.
