    Family Sharing on Xbox PC


    I have an Xbox One S and 2 PCs and we are a family of 4. We have no problems sharing games on the Xbox and one of the PCs. However on the other PC only I can play the games. When my sons try to look for a game I have it does not even tell them to install.
    The only option they have is to buy the game. Please note that there are no problems on the other PC and we can all play normally.

    Any idea what might be wrong, please? Thank you.

    :)

    The original plan was 10 people in your Family Sharing group.

    Family Sharing on Xbox PC

    Hi

    On the PC it works differently that on the Xbox. There isn't the same sharing feature for any account.

    Worth trying though, you should be able to sign in on to the Windows 10 Store as your account (Main account that owns the game) to then allow it to be downloaded. This might let someone else play it on their account, but it might only work if the account
    signed in to the PC is yours.

    I would second IRB above. Use the account owning the game on PC. But understand this will give your son access to your MS account.

    GamePass not showing on family and friends account

    Why doesn't family sharing work on PC with my Ultimate subscription? My son can use our family Ultimate on his Xbox but not on PC.
