Buying a game for the family

DV8Whiskey · Sep 16, 2019

I have three boys, all 4 of us have an Xbox, and we like to play together. The question is if there is a way for all of us to play the same game together? As I currently understand I can only share with one other Xbox without being signed in, and the other
two can play but I would have to sign in on that Xbox.

So as it stands, I can only play with the one I shared/linked to or two of my sons can play if I sign in on theirs.

It can between 2 consoles. I have been doing that for years. It's called family sharing or something.

Your child that has the games shared can play 100% and you can.

If you sign in on the other consoles of your two other children it will probably sign you out of your xbox.

So yes it will be only 2 playable.

You'll only be able to game share to one Xbox that you won't be logged into and then have access to the game on a second system that isn't set as your "home" console when you log into it. So you'll only be able to "share" with 2 consoles...more than that
and you'll need to buy another copy of the game.

That is correct as you can only be logged in on one console at a time.

The game can't be played on different consoles at the same time.
