Can my children play my games on PC (Xbox play anywhere)?

Jantarss · Apr 5, 2020

As father I have "master" account - under it I buy games, Gold etc. My children can play these games under theirs accounts then.

Games which are installable on Windows 10 (Xbox play anywhere) I can install under my account on my PC - but it installs only fom my account = game is not installed under account of my children and if I want do install it separatedly under account of my
child it requires to buy the game.

As I expected that if my children are allowed to play "my" games within Xbox I expected also that I can "redirect" some games to PC of my son under son´s account.

Is there any way how to achieve it?

Not sure if I am understand the answer completely in English.

1. It is not possible to let children play under my account - it is not systematic from many points of view.

2. When I log into Windows under son account then open MS store and try to log under my credentials I am not succesfull (it says that domain off my email address is not recognized), which probably means that I am not allowed to instal the game with my credentials
under account of my son..............

If I'm understanding you correctly then your Xbox account will only be linked to you on both platforms, so in terms of your PC, you'll be able to play some of your Xbox games via Windows 10 the Xbox game pass for PC app - but that would need to be installed
on your own PC account. So you could either let your kids play on your PC while you're logged in to it or you could download it and log into it with your own credentials on your child's PC account to let them play on it? You can't transfer your games to your
son's account as such, but you can let him play on them via your own logged in app I would have thought.

I have library in my account xbox.. can i play this games on my laptop?

If they are "Xbox Play anywhere" games then yes. The list of those games can be found at https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

If the games arent in this list then youd need to pay for the PC version of the games in order to play them on PC.

Hello

Will there ever be same pc sharing with game pass on pc, ae would like my children to play on own account, as they can on Xbox.

PC Game Pass is mainly PC only games, but there are a few exceptions. These games would be Xbox Play Anywhere games, which mean you can play on PC and Xbox. This list should tell you which games you can play on your Xbox as part of the Play Anywhere program. https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/xbox-play-anywhere

Remember that the games that are on PC Game Pass and are part of Xbox Play Anywhere can be played on the console.
