  1. Game share issues


    Me and my friend have been game sharing for years. Recently he switched to an xbox series console. I am still on an xbox one. I have set my xbox as his home xbox so I may continue to game share with him. He has bought an xbox one game on sale for us to share. It will not show up anywhere on my console to install it. I have tried every fix online I can find and none have worked. Any tips or ideas on how to fix this issue?

    :)

    You can only access games he actually purchases on his account. You can't access games he's sharing from other people.

    home Xbox set as there's because I'm not sure who could have it Is there a way u can reset the people who have it set as there's?

    As far as I know doing a full factory reset (so without keeping games and apps installed) will also remove any home Xbox associations, like mentioned on this link:

    https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-one/console/reset-console-to-factory-defaults


    As seen in this snippet from that link:

    Reset and remove everything. This option resets the console to

    factory settings. All user data, including accounts, saved games,

    settings, home Xbox associations, and all games and apps will be

    deleted. You should use this option when selling or gifting the console

    to someone else. You should only use this option as a last resort in

    some troubleshooting cases.

    Side note to prevent any miscommunication: Keep in mind that sharing account credentials and Transferring licenses to your console from an account that you didn’t create is a violation of the Code of Conduct like mentioned here: https://enforcement.xbox.com/en-us/home/staysafe#topic6
    Sharing account credentials isn't required to set up or use the Home console feature. You also can't transfer licenses on the Xbox One.

    if that was the case it would say I reached the maximum amount of gameshares per year I just reset them so I know it's not the problem

    Hey there, Zephyrr!

    I'm sorry to see any issues with Home console! Seeing this, I checked with the team that looks into these issues since we had a known issue with this last week. It appears that the console you're attempting to make your Home console has hit the limit of
    users able to set the console as their Home. You will need to have a few accounts remove that console as their Home so that you can set it.

    If you continue to have issues after doing that, please let me know! We'll be able to dig into it further from there. :)

    I didn't realize there was a limit to the amount of Home console designations on a specific console. How many accounts can set the same Xbox console as Home? 100?

    You can change which console is your home Xbox up to three times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling
    basis, starting the moment you change your home Xbox for the first time. For example, if you make your console your home Xbox for the first time on January 1st, and then change it two more times, on February 1st and March 1st, you will not be able to change
    it again until January 1st of the following year. The next time you'll be able to change it after that will be on the following February 1st, and then again on March 1st. Please make a note of the dates when you change your console to your home Xbox so that
    you'll know when you can change its designation again.

    When you change home consoles, all device licenses for digital content will move to your new home Xbox. These device
    licenses will no longer be available on your old "home" Xbox.
