No, you need the disc to verify your game license.

Even Steam, you can have two people playing two different games. Steam only gets tripped up if two people are playing the same game ONLINE at the same time.

Hello,

Your able to put your profile on multiple consoles. The only restriction is that same profile can only be signed in once regardless of where it's downloaded, so you can only use the profile on either Xbox and you won't have to download the profile again each
time.

Hello, Regarding your question it is a yes. You can play the same game at the same time using two different consoles; However, in order to do that you will need to be using two different profiles for each console.

The first thing you need to do, is to set up the account that owns the subscription/game as a home Xbox on one console. That way you will be sharing the subscription on that Xbox and any account you sign in with on that console will be able to benefit from the subscription and the games that are on it.

Then you will need to go on the other console and sign in with account that owns the subscription/game but do not make a home console. This way you can play the game at the same on two accounts with two different consoles.
