    Game Sharing Settings


    So we have an Xbox Series X and my myself and my wife have individual accounts. We purchase the games under my account and so whenever she wants to play I have to login before she can launch a game. Is there a way to turn that off? So she can just play the
    games I've purchased without me needing to login every time? So I can play certain games off my Windows 10 PC without kicking her out of what she is playing?

    :)

    setting up sharing

    Gold can only be shared on one console, not across consoles. So you would either need to purchase gold for her account, or you would need to set her console as your Home console in order for her to be able to share your gold.

    Game Sharing - Is it illegal?

    With the Home setting on the One, you are allowed to share games. However, it is recommended your own console is set as your Home and you're sharing games with people in your own household. But technically you could set any console you want as your Home
    and share games that way. So it isn't really illegal, you won't get arrested for it. But yeah, sharing outside of the home, really isn't fair to the developers.

    The Microsoft Family Con!

    The family settings are to help set controls on other accounts such as limiting time or purchase restrictions. It has no effect on the ability to share games. Sharing games is tied to the Home setting. Physical copies cannot be shared because you need the
    disc in the drive in order to verify you own the game so it can only be done with a digital copy.

    So in order to share a game/gold, you would first purchase it on one account, that account would set a console as their Home. They can then sign in and play on the non-Home console.
