Battlefield 5 - Game sharing issue

Hi, I'm Luis a Xbox user just like you. Thanks for reaching out us here. Is Battlefield V the only game you are having problems with?

If so, please try removing the account as home xbox and then re-enable it (only do this if you have enough switches left)

Both , my friend got gifted Battlefield 5 and he is game sharing with me.

No and yes it matters

If you got it as part of ultimate EA play itms only a subscriber option along with xcloud etc

Unfortunately this did not work.

We are unsure wether them game was acquired through purchasing or game pass, but are curious why this might matter?

To clarify I am able to open the game and navigate all the way through setting up a game but once I click play a screen saying “upgrade now: this content is not available to you as a battlefield v trial player. If you want access to this content you need to upgrade this game.” pops up.

We’ve always been under the impression that game sharing gives full access to games, is this not true?

Hey there, Anna Aidfc

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

If you are game sharing outside of your household, then please be aware that this violates the Code of Conduct for Xbox. Please see the section v. Fraud benefits no one: Xbox Community Standards | Xbox

Fraud is any attempt to use deceit or misrepresentation for personal or financial gain. When players commit fraud against Xbox, it circumvents the processes that keep things fair for everyone, and ends up making games, add-ons, and subscriptions more expensive for everyone. This also applies to trying to make money through Xbox in unapproved ways, since doing so bypasses safeguards that exist to help keep everyone safe and financially secure.

For example, don’t:

• Give another person access to your Microsoft account
  
• Sell or attempt to sell your gamertag or account to someone else
  
• Sell in-game content outside of official in-game mechanisms and stores
  
• Trade game lessons for Xbox gift cards or other compensation
  
• Buy a game from an unauthorized seller
  
• Share ways to fraudulently get Xbox Live Gold subscription codes for free
  
• Try to get out-of-policy refunds or compensation from Xbox support
  
• Give other players the impression that you’re a Microsoft employee
  
• Pretend to be an employee of a game developer
  
• Intentionally represent yourself as a player other than yourself to cause drama
  
• Charge another player to help them complete a level in a game
  

The first point is the main point you have broken and if caught by the Enforcement team, you could face an enforcement action on your Xbox account (along with your friend).

If this is the case, then we will have to lock the thread as we are unable to help people break the Code of Conduct and terms of use on this community.

Thanks,

Nathan
