Digital games and sharing between xboxes

Ungamingmamma · Jun 27, 2020

I set up an xbox account a year or two ago and created each of my teenagers a child account and added them as family members. I set my eldest daughters xbox one X as my home console and she was happy to share it with her 4 younger siblings so everyone
could use the family game pass membership. In the last few years we have bought quite a few games through the great sales prices it offered. She graduated this year though and plans to attend college in another state. I bought a new system so she could take
it with her but now im not sure how to share the games all 5 helpped pay for. Ive read many threads on game sharing by signing into each others consoles but it will not work because then the kids still here couldnt log in on our family pass. Can anyone tell
me if she can still access it through our family plan or if not by network transfering without my staying signed in and copying off the games since she wouldnt have her own membership. Would that remove the games from my account making them unable to play
for the younger four. We own the digital games of the 8 she would like but her brothers play 5 of them as well. Is there a solution anyone knows of that would allow them all to still share and remain somewhat friends so they all dont gain up on my poor husband
while i hide out at my sisters after divinding the games between the 5 of them.

with digital games you can share between two xbox ones with the home xbox option

Hello Ungamingmamma,

Thanks for reaching out to us, as recommended blow, you can only use your Xbox Home on two different consoles at the same time. I'll post a link below that will give you more information to see how you can set up the Family account you currently have and
get everything working right as rain.

Hope this Helps, Happy Gaming!

Hello,

Whatever console you set as your home will allow any other player on that console to have access to the home accounts game library and live subscription. As you know, you can only set one console as your home.

Now if your daughter plays on the account that technically owns the games/subscription she can log-in on her separate console (that's not set as home) and play at will without affecting the "shared" console at your physical address since the other
children will be using different accounts on her "home" system.

Keep in mind, in the long-run though you'll eventually will get to the point where the younger siblings will be in a similar situation when they leave home (not sure on the age-gap there).

You can only game share with 2 xboxs in a sense, so what you'll have to do is make the xbox in your home the "home xbox" so that the family members in the house hold can play the games without needing to be signed in with the account your eldest daughter
will be using, keep in mind your eldest will not be able to play offline, meaning she must have a internet connection to play any games owned to the account you're sharing. So then tell your eldest to download the shared account on her xbox but ask her not
to set her xbox as her home xbox, and she can download all the games and play them while she is sign in, the xbox in your house will need a new account, it doesn't mean you'll lose all the game or nothing just means it will not kick her off the shared account
your eldest is sign into. Hope this helped!! If not feel free to reply and we can find another solution together!! Happy gaming 😁
