    Can I use play anywhere to play on two devices, on different accounts at the same time?


    Hi All,

    I recently purchased Forza Horizon 4 on PC and have been playing it on PC on my Microsoft account. My dad is into games and has been playing Forza Horizon 3 since release on his Microsoft account on the xbox. Could I use a combination of play anywhere and
    game sharing to allow him to play the game on his account without having to purchase it again?

    My idea was to game share, so log into my Microsoft account on the xbox, set it as my home xbox so my game library can be installed on that xbox, then have my dad download the game via his Microsoft account on the xbox.

    Will I be able to play Forza Horizon 4 on my PC while he uses it on the xbox on his account? If so, would it be possible to play together?

    :)

    Can I use play anywhere to play on two devices, on different accounts at the same time?

    Yes of course, that's exactly how my brother and I did it. I played the game on Xbox, and he was on PC. We game shared the xbox Consoles we owned, and the accounts were linked via that, and with him owning Forza Horizon 4, i got access.

    Is it possible to play two different games from one account on two different devices?

    Yes, you can, the only thing you can't do is log in on the same account and play games using two Xbox consoles, and play a game that is an Xbox play anywhere game using the same account on two different devices (Xbox & PC).

    I have a question about accounts micrsoft and minecraft

    Hi

    I think you will need to have another account. I don't think you can play with the same account on two different devices at the same time.

    can i have the same account playing on two different consoles at the same time?

    You cannot be signed into the same account on both consoles at the same time. But you can share your games on whatever console is set as your Home console.

    I own MC Dungeons on 2 platforms but can't play them both at the same time?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    I'm sorry but we can only sign in on one device at a time, which means that you can't play the game on two different devices at the same time if you're using the same Microsoft account.
