  1. Game sharing after upgrading to series x?


    Hello, me and my brother gameshared previously but i recently upgraded from an xbox one to a series x, prior to this i was the one with xbox gamepass and would purchase all the games and he was still able to play all of the games and utilize gamepass. Now that i have a new console this became my home xbox and now he is unable to play the games previously purchased or use gamepass. Neither of us remember whether my xbox one was my home xbox or if his xbox was set as my home xbox and believe that may be the source of the issue. Now, my series x is my home console and his xbox one is still his home console as that setting hasn’t been changed… to fix this do I need to sign in on his xbox and leave it as my home xbox so that he is able to use gamepass and if so, what does that change in regards to my series x? will i still be able to log in and utilize my games that i purchased online despite this not being my home xbox. Thank you for your help in advance.

    :)

    You would need to set the console he is using as your Home in order to share your content with him. As long as you're signed into your Series X, you won't notice any difference. The only affect it can have is that you won't be able to access your games offline if needed.

    Pre download Xbox Series X games

    Not really...

    Xbox Series X games / upgrades / updates has to be installed onto the Series X internal or expansion card SSD,

    You can have Xbox One games on your external hard drive that will get an Series X upgrade but the games will need to be transferred to the Series X and then the Series X upgrade will need to be downloaded onto the Series X SSD,

    As an example...

    I have Marvel Avengers on my external hard drive that will get the Series X upgrade and I will transfer the game over to the Series X SSD ready to download and update the game to the Series X version when available.

    Game Sharing Not Working After Upgrading to Series X

    My Xbox is set to my friends Home Xbox, which allows me to play his digital games. His Xbox is set to my Home Xbox, which I assume allows him to play MY digital games. This is how I understand Game Sharing works.

    We've had this setup for many years and haven't encountered any issues... or any banning notices from Microsoft. We kept each others profiles on our Xboxes so that we can use our own profiles when we visit each other. When he visits here, he can use his profile on my Xbox for co-op games and vice-versa.

    Game Sharing Not Working After Upgrading to Series X

    Just to recap: MY Xbox is HIS Home Xbox. So I assume that means HIS Xbox needs to be MY Home Xbox? Is that correct? And what would happen if my Xbox was BOTH our Home Xbox?
    His console does not have to be your Home. If you Xbox was both of your Homes, you would have access to his games/Gold, but would not have access to yours.

    Also, please keep in mind sharing account information violates the code of conduct. You should only be sharing if you/your friend are able to sign in yourself to set the Home setting and then remove your account. Otherwise, you're putting yourselves at risk for being banned.
