    Does a game code act like a digital copy of the game? If so, does that mean I can share it with family sharing?

    If I buy a game with a paper code, then will I be able to download that same game onto my family's conseles? Or will I need to buy each member their own copy of the game?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Sofee

    :)

    Hello Sofee! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    If the code relates to the full version of a game, then yes, its like you have purchased a digital copy. For instance, these days when you purchase a console and it comes with games, they don't include the discs, you usually get a card or receipt with a code you can redeem.

    Two xboxOnes in one household?

    I have one more question in regards to digital copies.

    My two brothers live together

    both have XboxOne's

    If they put each others profiles on each others xbox's....does that mean they only need to buy one Digital copy? Because they are in essence a Family sharing content...each also have Gold subscriptions.
