Game Share and Family Account

RandomAnt93 · May 4, 2019

I was previously game sharing with my friend so thst we could play each others games. However recently I have set up the family account settings so that others in my household can also play the games on the Xbox One console without using my account.

After doing this my friend told me that he could no longer get access to my games. Are you able to have both set up at the same time or is it one or the other?

Through Game-sharing you are able to share content and games between two consoles. Reading through many of the other responses, I love the idea of a family account to share content with an entire family but also believe that it wouldlikely be abused.

Do you mean game pass? Or you're game sharing with someone in your family? If its game share then try having your family member login with their account on the console and see if it shows up then.

You can only have 1 console set as your Home at a time. So if you're sharing with your household, you would no longer be able to share with your friend.

You wiuld have to set console 3 as your Home. They will lose access on console 2 if you do that though. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

Hi Random,

I will go ahead and lock this thread as it has been resolved. Please feel free to come back to the forums if you have any other issues, questions, or just want to create a discussion to talk to fellow gamers.

Thanks,
