  1. Game sharing issue with Minecraft (Digital)


    Good evening, Scruffy here.

    Me and my friend recently set up our xbox one's as our home consoles on both accounts and are having a issue with sharing the digital version of "Minecraft xbox one edition" (Digital) from my account to his.

    His only options are to play the trial or purchase the game from the Microsoft store.

    It's not a big deal as i'm willing to gift him the game, but is there something i'm missing? Are we not allowed to share minecraft?

    :)

    Owning two different Xbox ones

    if you have physical copies you need the game in to play, so the console with the broken drive is going to be an issue unless you rebuy digital copies (although I would recommend it as you can both play at the same time)

    You can share games and gold.

    The Microsoft Family Con!

    Regardless if Family settings, game sharing parameters still apply. So the digital games can only be shared on two consoles. In terms of buying the games directly from Microsoft that is not an issue as long as the game shared is in digital format, it really
    doesn't matter from what retailer you purchase the game as long as it is digital format.

    Transferring Minecraft from one Xbox account to another

    Unfortunatly you wont be able to transfer the licence of digital games between accounts.

    Only way of sharing the game is with Gameshare.

    Minecraft will be added to Gamepass on 4th April 2019. So might want to think about that.

    Game sharing

    If you share account. You share games, apps, every subscriptions what you have..

    You share only digital games. No on disc. Only digital.

    Three consoles, three XBL accounts, three game copies

    I think perhaps part of the issue is that I have physical discs, not digital download. In that case, I cannot Game Share this version of the game...

    Sharing Digital Games

    you must own each console the game will be on, the console that is set as the home console will let any profile on there play the game and any other console you must be signed in with your profile, this is a grey area and can be deemed against the terms
    of use, sharing in the same household is much more common and I think should be ok, but game sharing with friends in different locations could technically be called market place theft.
