    Can my friend share a game with me?


    Hello

    Recently a friend bought an Xbox one, but I don't have the games he bought, so I wanted to know if there is any way in which he could share his games with my Xbox, for being able to play online.

    But he playing on his Xbox and I in mine, no in a split screen cooperative

    Both having the game and being able to play it at the same time with different profiles and different xbox's (both one).

    Thanks.

    :)

    How to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox

    The first time you sign in to an Xbox One and save your password, that console becomes your home Xbox. The console designated as your home Xbox is where you can share games and some content with others who sign in (with their own account) to that console
    with you. Never share your password or account sign in info.

    Home Xbox switches are limited to five per year.

    What can be shared

    Share your Xbox Live Gold subscription with anyone else who signs in to your console.

    Share games and downloadable content purchased from Microsoft Store with anyone else who signs in on your console. You can even share games downloaded as part of a subscription.

    What can’t be shared

    Account specific items may not be able to be shared. Some examples are:

    • In-game content purchased within the game with in-game currencies like Minecraft Skin Mashups or Halo REQ packs
    • In-game currency such as Minecraft Coins
    Certain pre-order bonuses and special edition content falls into these categories, so you may not be able to share those items as they can only be redeemed once from the account of the person who purchased the game.

    Play offline

    On your home Xbox, you can play downloaded games while traveling, or in the event of a network or service outage. You'll need to ensure that your console is designated as your home Xbox before you go offline. For more info, see

    Using Xbox One offline
    .

    If you have more than one Xbox One console, or if you sign in on multiple consoles, we recommend you designate the most frequently used console as your home Xbox.

    Note You can have only one home Xbox at a time. You can share purchased games and Gold with others only on your home Xbox. You get 5 switches per year. Customer support cannot offer additional switches.

    Designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox

    1. Press the Xbox button
      to open the guide.
    2. Select System > Settings > Personalization, and then select
      My home Xbox.
    3. Do either of the following:
      • Select Make this my home Xbox to designate the console as your home Xbox.
      • Select Remove this as my home Xbox to remove the designation.
    When you change home consoles, all device licenses for digital content will move to your new home Xbox. These device licenses will no longer be available on your previous home Xbox. In other words, when you switch your home Xbox, access to your content comes
    with you to your new home Xbox, and anyone signed in can enjoy it. Your previous home Xbox will still give your friends and family access to your stuff when you’re signed in to it.

    Can I change my home Xbox console to a different console?

    You can change which console is your home Xbox up to five times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling basis, starting the moment you switch your home Xbox for the first time. If you reach your limit of home console switches for the year,
    you’ll get a message letting you know the next available date you can change it.

    Note Customer support cannot offer additional switches. If your console shows you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select
    Help when you see the message, Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception.

    You can also get help with your home Xbox in Xbox Assist. Press the Xbox button
    to open the guide, select
    System
    > Xbox Assist, choose My Xbox Assist >
    Search, and then enter My Home Xbox.

    Can my friend share a game with me?

    If your friend wants to share with you he would need to download his account onto your console and then set it as his account's home console as Smwutches noted.

    Keep in mind, if he shares login information with you, that is against the Terms of Service/Code of Conduct and could lead to an enforcement action.

    This can be done.

    Please refer tot he Link below on how to create his console as your home console.

    Xbox Home setup

    I would advise against doing this. it would put your profile on his computer and I suggest not sharing your account information with anyone.

    Can my friend share a game with me?

    I would be careful with this, Not saying your friend is the type to do this but accounts get hijacked a lot this way and people lose stuff all the time. It's risky if you're not careful.

    Can my friend share a game with me?

    As others have stated, he can share with you, it's very easy. But I'd still recommend against it, I would only ever game share with my family. As much as I trust my friends, I don't trust them with my account information!
