    Game sharing not working


    Hello, I am having a problem with game sharing. I want to share overwatch with my roommate, so i logged into his account and set my xbox as his home xbox. Then I logged into his xbox with my account and set it as my home xbox. Now only battlefield and rocket
    league are showing up in his ready to install list. Not overwatch and not any other games ive downloaded. WHY CANT I SHARE OVERWATCH? I downloaded it for sure and did not buy the disk. Please help.

    :)

    because you dont

    You never loan out your account ever period

    You have to be physically be there for two reasons

    One account changes require a security proof check which I can garentee you you won't do it fast enough

    2 you are not allowed to loan or give out your account details. Period

    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

    Game sharing is not working

    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

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us

    Thank you for reaching out see you online!
