    Game sharing problem


    I have been game sharing with my friend for the last year and a half, and recently he bought Friday the 13th (the game) and it will not download on my Xbox. I have tried downloading the game straight from the store but it will not let me

    :)

    So you already try with your friend to start from the beginning the sharing??

    Is it possible that one of the two account is not registered in the family of the other?!?

    Game Sharing Problem

    Hey Grimkaos969,

    No problem. It was my pleasure. I'm glad we could clear things up.

    Apologies if that causes any inconveniences, but it's a common misconception due to most people who share licenses do so for the game sharing only and not the online access that is shared from the Gold subscription.

    Most of the time, both accounts that are sharing own the subscription at the point of setting up the Home Console and you may realize that you can still play online even after your subscription expires, and that leads people to believe they also get access
    to the free games and deals you get with gold, but that's only offered to the accounts that have an active Gold license to their account.

    Don't hesitate to post again in case you have any other questions and we'd be happy to help!

    Game sharing problem

    Hey there, Arive Shady!

    I'm sorry to see any issues downloading a game! I'm wondering if the purchase didn't go through properly. If your friend is relative to your location, are they able to log into their account and find out if they can download it themselves? Let me know how
    it goes. Game sharing problem :)

    Game share problem

    There can be violations of the Terms of Service in how some people implement, but setting a console, regardless of location, as Home Console itself does not violate the terms. If you give someone else your account credentials to log in and set
    it, then yes. Is it against the spirit of the setting? Sure. Is it against the letter of the setting? Not necessarily.

    Am i the only one whos forgetting game sharing is breaking the terms?

    the home console feature is designed for family. Sharing games with your friends because you dont want to buy games isnt allowed.
