Game share not working

Joshua Meros · Jun 4, 2025 at 10:42 AM

My friend just started game sharing with me and it’s not working as intended. The only way for it to work is if I log into his account and mine at the same time, then log into the game through my account. If I try to just log into the game through my account with out his logged in, it doesn’t work. I’ve made sure to make my Xbox as the home Xbox with the account with game pass. I’ve also tried restarting my Xbox, removing and re-adding accounts, and the manually reset the Xbox from the setting removing everything except for the games. I don’t know what can fix this issue unless I get external support

You may want to go to http://commerce.microsoft.com to make sure you purchased game pass on your account and not his. Game pass itself does not share. The games that are downloaded through the service do.

I have on screen the error dev 6037. I have tried to solve it about 20 times. I have tried everything according to all the information I have searched and I have not been lucky to play. Will they have any solution? In Moder Warfare

Hey CalebPeeples,

You would need your friend to sign into your Xbox to start the download of the game onto your xbox - I doubt resetting or redownloading your profile will work,

So once your friend has signed in download the game,

Then he can sign out and resign into their Xbox and you should be running and gunning in no time soon !

Let me know if this worked

(*also to save time tell him to bring his Xbox to your network so you can network transfer the game rather than download all the updates from scratch) Hope this bonus info is helpful too

The others have pointed out to make sure the friend still has Live and the proper home console is set up. But I'll also leave a friendly reminder that the Home Xbox, and Game Sharing features are to be used for people who live in your household and is
not permitted to be used outside of that.

Hello ISprtnl!

You are probably having issues with the Home Console sharing itself please review the steps here:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

Depending on which account owns the content that account would need to be made home console on the console that belongs to the player who does not own the game so the sharing will work.

If you do have issues setting it up properly so you can both share the game please contact us at

Thank you for reaching out see you online!
