Family sharing, games question.

OLDgamerFOGEY · Jan 17, 2020

I have tried to look through previously asked questions but did not see the answer. I currently have 2 xboxs in the house. Game sharing is up and running, now I want to add another for my daughter. I understand I will need to pay for another live subscription,
but I do not want to have to buy all of the games again, since she is only 7 and will have limited access to them. So, is it possible to share the games already purchased with 3 consoles (or more, my youngest is getting bigger)?

You are wrong. Game share is made to share games with family or friends and you didn’t answer my question?

Any one can share on your home xbox if you want to use games on another console you need to sign in with your main account then whoever wants to play needs to sign in with there account your main account needs to remain signed in which will mean you wouldnt
be able to play while other person is playing

In a multiple console household, it helps to plan out who uses what content and where they are going to use it. If the family shares a single console, Home Xbox allows every user on that console to use each other's content, regardless of who owns it. When
you start adding consoles, things can get complicated.

With a second console in the home, again it helps to plan what console is being used by the most people. Let's say that you have one in the family room, and your oldest child (the gamer of the group) has one in their room, and the gamer is the one that has
an Xbox Live Gold subscription. In this case, everyone should set the shared family room console as their respective account's Home Xbox. They all get the benefit of the gamer's Gold subscription since it's stored on that console. Then, the gamer can sign
into their console and still access all their games and subscriptions at the same time.

Digital content on Xbox One has two licenses - one that stays with the Home Xbox, and one that's available to the account owner on any console they access. So a single purchase can indeed be used on two consoles at the same time. When you go above that number,
that's when something has to give, and you may need to consider buying an additional license.

You may want to consider disc copies of the games your youngest child will use, that they can use on whatever console they access. However, disc games have only the one license (the disc acts as the "key" to unlock the game).
