    Game Sharing on 3 Consoles?


    My situation is this. I now have 3 Xbox One consoles in my home. I game share between two of them with two different gamertags. Majority of the digital games have been purchased on one console with one gamertag. Just got a third console and wanted to use
    it mostly for offline gameplay. But, if I set it to be my home console, will I lose access to it on one of the other two? Or will it work if I stay offline? The reason I ask is this, I signed in on Xbox Live on it with my main gamertag and it let's me play
    the downloaded games I purchased ONLY if I'm online. I tried playing offline and it won't load. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    :)

    Cant change my Console to "Home Console"!

    Game sharing strikes again it seems. You can only change your console's home status 3 times a year.

    Game Sharing on 3 Consoles?

    In order to play offline, you will have to set the console as your Home. Since you can only have 1 console set as your Home at a time, it will remove that setting from the current console it is set to and you will no longer be able to share content on that
    console.

    As Smwutches already said, you can only have one console set as your Home Console, which allows offline play.

    However, as long as you are signed in on a console with the Gamertag that originally purchased the game, you can still play it with any other Gamertag on that console.

    So let's take the following example: You have Gamertags A and B.

    Gamertag A purchased "A Way Out", "ACA Neo Geo Metal Slug" and "Aces of the Luftwaffe".

    Gamertag B bought the games "Battlefield 1", "Black Ops" und "Battle Garegga".

    And you have Xbox console 1, 2 and 3, with console 3 being the offline console.

    First you have to be online with console 3, and Gamertags A and B have to set that console 3 as their Home Console and download all the games on it. Now everyone can play these games offline on Console 3.

    If you now want to play "Battlefield 1" with Gamertag A on Console 1 or 2, you will have to use a second controller and also sign in Gamertag B on the same console.

    While Gamertag A is signed in one console, Gamertag B can also play "A Way Out".

    And Gamertag A can play "A Way Out", "ACA Neo Geo Metal Slug" and "Aces of the Luftwaffe" on any console they want, as long as they are able to go online.

    The same is true for Gamertag B: They can go to any console in the world, and play "Battlefield" or "Black Ops" or "Battle Garegga".

    Game sharing on 3 consoles

    You can only share on 1 console at a time. On the non-Home consoles, you can still access your content if you are signed in since it is tied into your account. To share across 3 consoles without you having to be signed in, you would need to purchase everything
    on at least 1 other account.

    3 consoles game sharing.

    You can only have 1 console set ad your Home at a time. So your uncle would not be able to share with both of you at the same time. In the scenario you gave, your cousin would no longer be able to play your uncle's game. It's also recommended that your
    Home console be the one you actually use.
