    buying new games with an account share and xbox preview program.


    ok, bit complicated scenario here, so.

    me an my fiance have 2 xboxes. we have each others accounts on both with each console set to 1 accounts home, and a share between them. we purchase games on 1 account, then download to the 2nd console so we can both play games. my fiances console is in the
    xbox preview program, and the 2 games he bought since the last update will not download onto my console. the support guy i was talking to on the phone explained that we have essentially purchased the games from a completely separate marketplace. we tried
    many things to resolve the issue, hard resets, changing home consoles, uninstalling profiles etc. nothing worked. i repurchased one of the games and it charged me a 2nd time. we are currently awaiting a refund due to the strangness of the situation ca\using
    us to pay twice for the game. ill try and post more info as this unfolds.

    :)

  2. Digital games with Xbox preview

    Hopefully I posted this correctly (Prob not).Im in the Xbox preview program and I was wondering if I decided to leave the program, would I lose the digital games I purchased? Ive bought a lot of games while on the program before knowing there was a license
    issue that kept it from being interchangeable between preview and non-preview consoles. The reason I ask because I'm buying a new Xbox one s and don't want to put the preview on it. I really need help with this cause if I can't I'll lose hundreds of dollars
    of games buying new games with an account share and xbox preview program. :(

  5. This is one of the known issues with the current preview build. Check this thread for more information - you may need to be logged in with the account in the preview program to see it. forums.xbox.com/.../2170244.aspx

    "Certain content (games, apps, DLC) purchased in the new Store may only be available on consoles enrolled in the latest Preview update. This means…

    • Games purchased on a console running the latest Preview update can only be played on that console or other consoles running the latest Preview update.

    • Games purchased via Xbox.com can be played on any console.

    • Games purchased on a console running the previous update can be played on any console."

    So, for the mean time if your fiance wants to buy games, have him buy them through the website or the non-preview console so that it can be used on both consoles.

    Are you in the preview program? Preview program members are not able to share games purchased during the current preview at the moment.

    early access for ARK: Survival Evolved

    Yes,that's what i'm saying.The game preview is open to everyone.

    Basically you are getting an unfinished version of the game with the chance to buy it at a discount but obviously there's a bit of risk with that.

    Game previews are completely separate from the preview program.

    The preview program is there for people to test updates to the dashboard for the most part.

    Game preview is there for anyone to test a new game,kind of like a beta,with the option to buy the game early.

    I bought GTA 5 and it's not letting me play it or download it it says that I need to buy the game when I just bought it I called Microsoft and they said that they see that I purchased the game I think because I am part of the preview program

    Hey there xpert ninja19,

    What error message or error code are you currently seeing on the console? This could be directly related to the Xbox One review program.

    For example, right now if you purchase a game on a preview console using the new dashboard and are home sharing these games with another console that's not in the preview program. The purchase wouldn't be recognized until the update is made public.

    You'll also want to post about this in the Preview program forums HERE.
