    Game Sharing question


    OK, so I've looked all over the internet for info on gamesharing. All I found was that two accounts could game share between each other. What if both Xboxs have more then one account? Is there a way to share between Xboxs instead of accounts? Another question
    is what dictates "ownership" of a game? I ask because my family is getting a second Xbox and we want our games to go between the two however there are more then 2 accounts on each xbox. I.E. both xboxs have the same 4 accounts and I want to have games go between
    the two however I also want everyone on both xboxs to be able to play every game. All I've heard is somthing about setting a home xbox however every time it says you can only have 1 home xbox and the one that isn't your home will not let every person play
    every game

    :)

    Go right ahead and redownload those games to the other console. However, be aware that only you will be able to fully access those games on that console. Others will not unless you are logged in with them.

  3. Game Sharing Question

    I own two Xbox consoles, that are also registered under my name, both of which I use. One of these consoles has the majority of games I have bought over the years stored on it. Can I legally use these games on both of my consoles by transferring my gamertag
    and then downloading the games again to the other console? Or do I have to purchase everything again to be able to use the games I have already bought, on the other console I own?

    If you set a console as your Home console, any profile that signs into that console can access your games and gold. There's not a way to share with just a specific account. It's based on the console.

    Owning a game means you either purchased it or redeemed a code directly to your account.

    For your disc question that should work, but I've not done something like that myself so I'm not 100% sure.

    Real consumer freindly btw. Either you have one xbox or one account per xbox. Because, unless it's your "home xbox" EVERY SINGLE ACCOUNT WILL NEED TO BUY THEIR OWN COPY OF EVERY GAME ON IT.(sorry for message spam. The edit button keeps locking for some reason
    and I need to make a new comment every time)

    OK FINE. LET ME ASK AGAIN SINCE IT REFUSES TO SHOW THE OLD ONE. If 4 accouts are all on 2 xboxs is there a way for ALL of them to play ALL the games on BOTH. Also why does editing keep getting "disabled"

    You would have to buy them at least twice. Once on two different accounts so each account can make a console their Home.

    That's a helpful link for you in case you have any further questions

    1. The Home feature doesn't affect anything related to signing with a passcode into your console. What you're asking is a matter of your account's security preferences on your console.

    2. Your sister won't ever need to sign into your account on her console at all. Whether or not her account automatically signs into her Xbox One console is again related to security preferences.

    3. No, none of your games, save files or other data will disappear. However, you won't be able to play your games offline on your console - your console will need to always be connected to Xbox Live for you to access your content.
