Can only play downloaded game from one profile on xbox one.

Zerok2106 · Jun 27, 2016

Hi - my wife bought COD:BO3 for my son. Downloaded from the store. They installed on his profile. The problem now is that I cannot play from my profile (primary) as I get asked to log in with the profile that bought the game? How or where do I change this?

All profiles can't play downloaded games

Why is it that the downloaded games work for all profiles on one xbox but won't work on a second one? Same game and profiles for the family but it says that the game can only be played under the profile it was downloaded under.

Can I DL a game on both of my family consoles?

Most downloads get two licenses: one for every profile on the first console the game is downloaded, on, and one for your profile to use on any console while signed in to Xbox Live. So, if your profile redeems the game download code and downloads the
game on console 1, every profile on console 1 can play the downloaded game. On console 2, your profile can re-download the game from your History, but you'll only be able to play it while your profile is signed in to Xbox Live, and nobody on console 2 can
play it (without buying it) if your profile isn't signed in or the connection to Xbox Live is down.

That might be enough for your situation if the kids mostly play on one console while you play on another, or if the kid who got the Kinect bundle is willing to do the downloads on the other console first and trust that Live will be available on the new console.

Hello Zero,

If this is the only console in your household, your son can go into Settings > Home Xbox and set this console as his Home, after which the game will be playable for all profiles on this console.

Let us know how you get on.

FYI no 360 games (including ones that you downloaded from the Marketplace) can be played on the One. so the only thing you would be able to use on the One would be the profile and any media you bought/downloaded.

You can download the game again at any time from Download History on any console using your profile. However, the license for the game only downloads to the console that originally downloaded/ purchased it.

This means that if you download it again to another console you must be connected to Xbox Live to play it on that console. The only console you can play it on without an Xbox Live connection is the one on which you first downloaded it.

Well there is a problem.So you need to be signed into the gamepass and xbox store with your account

But this can only be on one pc since you can only be signed in one location at a time

Gameshare doesn't apply to pc

But he can play any game you download from hos profile

But you must be signed in on the xbox app or gamepass app

Can only play downloaded game from one profile on xbox one.
