Game Sharing Question

Sushi VII · Dec 19, 2015

I'm trying to play games with my girlfriend that I've bought digitally. We were able to play games together before at the same time but not anymore. Now, I bought a game but she is unable to play while Im playing. Does my home Xbox have to be hers? My girlfriends
home Xbox is set to my Xbox and I have my own Xbox as my home Xbox. (Im unable to switch home Xboxs until next year)

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.

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?

Yes. For her to play games you have downloaded, her console would have to be set as your Home console.

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.

P.S. How does installing disccs work? I have BL 2 GoTY edtion and I've installed all the dlcs on the xbox. Can I then play it from any BL 2 disc?

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

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"
