Game Pass Ultimate on multiple user accounts same PC

Benito602 · Dec 2, 2021

I have game pass on my pc with games installed games on my (Adult/main account). Just added my child's profile to my pc (same pc) and game pass is asking to install the same games again and some are 72 gigs!!!. How do I get his profile to recognize the games already installed? Again this is all on one machine (pc). please help MICROSOFT.

Hi i use to have a similar problem have you tried clicking install and see if it corrects its self

Yes and I hastily clicked cancel as I saw it was indeed trying to install again. Then I went and checked the other account and it says "Play" on that account so is still recognised as installed on that account. But on mine it's legitimately trying to make
me install it twice lol. Need a fix please.

it is issue, maybe you should connect with support. The game must be installed only one to both accounts

It isn't an issue on Xbox where sharing can be achieved by making the console your Home Xbox. See here https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

It isn't quite the same on PC sadly.

Yeah, I had this problem just a couple days back actually and my problem was that the Game Pass app itself needed to be updated on my computer.

The app is up to date, on both accounts. Both on mine and on the other account.

yes this is crazy and doesn´t make any sense, is the same machine with famuly users and evey game istalled is almost fo 80 gb, if we need to play the same game with other family user in the same PC we have to istall it again usisng another 80 GB when is already intalled, it´s nuts. we need some kind s microdoft solution on this issue.
