    2 Consoles in the same house and want to share games


    I have recently brought a Xbox One S and my Dad just ordered one, we want to be able to buy a digital game and share it without having to buy the game twice. I have Xbox Live already and my Dad doesn't play on getting it because he doesn't want to play games
    online. Can someone explain to me how the Game Sharing works, and does it share Xbox Live between the Consoles? I understand that I have to sign in on my account into his Xbox and he has to Sign into His account on my Xbox and then make them the "Home Xbox"
    but I'm still confused, can we play the game at the same time? Will he have my Gamertag? Thanks

    :)

    Home Console/Game Sharing expansion needed

    I think extended is wrong.

    The true and first meaning of the account/game sharing was to a house share like 2 brothers with 2 consoles and for the parents doesnt need to buy 2 xbox live golds or 2 games. And not to people share with all their friends.

    Doesnt mix the family settings with account sharing on Xbox, is not the same thing and not the same end.

    3 xbox consoles

    The Family Game share feature is only available for 2 consoles. There isn't a way to share on 3 consoles at a time.

    I have the same issue at my house. If the Kids want to play on two of the consoles I'm not able to log into the third with my profile, because in order for the Kid that is on the Non-home console they have to have me logged in on it.

    Cant Gameshare

    Remember that game sharing is meant for the same home, that the same members of the house, can access the games. The person who bought the game has to have the home console set to the console that wants to share the games. This can only be switched a minimal
    amount of times per year.
