    Game share with multiple people


    So here is the situation, my friend game shares with me, that's how I got Cold War. He recently purchased 2K21, and I was going to download it, but my other friend says he was already going to download it from my other friends account, and that it won't
    work if I download it. I was under the impression that you can only game share with 1 other person at a time. So can someone explain how 2 of us are connected to his account and able to download the same game, but can't download the same game?

    :)

    Xbox game sharing and multiple people

    the thing I brought up was, 'an account only can share with one other xbox, but if you had multiple different accounts game sharing on one console, you should be able to play any of the games from any of the accounts'
    This is correct. Multiple accounts can set 1 console as their Home, but each account can only set 1 console as their Home.

    Xbox game sharing with multiple people at once

    Hi, DestinJones! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. Accounts can only designate one Home Xbox console at a time, which means that any other console would need to be actively signed in to your account in order to access your purchased games and subscriptions.

    Please let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help.
    Best regards.

    Multiple Game Share

    Hello DankSquog,

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums. An account can share it's games and subscriptions to only one console at a time. Also, each account has a limit to the amount of times that it can be set as the

    home console profile    . The article we provided contains more information about the home console feature. The article also explains how to set up the home console profile for the account you would like to use to share content. Be sure to let us know the results!
