Friend playing on xbox one that is game sharing with another console

Rhymsta134 · Aug 31, 2017

I want to set up game sharing between two consoles in the same house for my son and I who are both xbox gold members.

If a third person comes round who has their own xbox live account / profile but isn't a gold subscriber would they be able to log in and play the games which are being shared on the consoles?

I was thinking of online gaming especially.

Any help would be much appreciated.

:)

Problems with Xbox Live sharing

Hi OREO GANGSTER70!

To clarify are you sharing your Xbox Live Gold membership via Home Gold, or are you referring to another user sharing their Gold with you? If you're the one sharing Gold, we'd recommend signing into the console you'd like to share your Gold membership on
and ensuring that it's set as your
Home console.

If someone else was sharing Gold with you, you'll need to reach out to that person to help verify that the console you're playing on is set as the Home console for their account.

is it possible to play with a friend on my home console while im on another console coop if only i own the game and im sharing the game with home console

Yes they would. When you have a console set as your Home console, anyone who signs into that console can access your games and gold.

so you are saying that even though they had un shared with me already that they now have to make their Own Xbox their home ?

What do you mean they "un-shared"?

The only way to "share" to you is to make your console their Home Console.

A lot of people get the wrong impression that "sharing" on the Xbox is automatically a two way share. So if you "share" with someone by setting their console as your Home Console, most people think, that as soon as they make another console their Home Console,
the "sharing" relationship ends.

This is not the case.

There is no "sharing" mechanic on Xbox that works along the lines "I give you my games, and you give me your games at the same time".

There is only ONE method, that goes "I give my games to ONE console that I choose. Whatever else you do is up to you. You can share your games to my console as well, if you want, or not. If you don't give me your games, it's okay, and you can still play
my games for as long as I chose to not change the Home Console."

So yes, in order to "make room" for another friend to share to your console, at least one of your other friends has to move their Home Console setting AWAY from your console.

Yes, on Xbox 360 the license for the game is tied to the console itself, anyone using that console can play it, but you can't move it to another console without going through the whole license transfer procedure. Xbox One is a little more flexible, you can
share games with friends and play on different consoles and stuff because the license is tied to your gamertag.

You'll have to buy another copy of the game for your son's console if you want to play multiplayer. I think it's on sale now for about $10 though.

This question need to be corrected, because we want to know about My Home Console feature in case of games sharing with friends. When one friend buy a game and second friend buy another game, after that they use this feature to share their games between
them. In my opinion, this will lead to ToS violating, because of license sharing, that not permitted between players, who not from one family.
