  1. Game Sharing with a friend on their console but having 2 accounts on my console


    So I am new to Game Sharing and I have a question that has been answered different ways so i'm very confused. Here is the situation.

    So I have an Xbox One console with a Gold account. My wife also has her own account on my console but doesn't not have her own Gold account because she just uses mine since its the same console.

    I have a friend who is wanting to Game Share with me on his console.

    So my question is,

    If I Game Share with my friend on his console, does my wife lose access to my Gold account, or does she keep it since she is on my console. I've talked to 3 different Xbox support people, 2 have said that she would lose access to Gold, the other one said
    she wouldn't and I have friends that say she wouldn't. Does anyone have expericene with this situation? Can 3 accounts on 2 consoles share games and Gold????

    :)

    So, with Home Xbox, any account on that Xbox will be able to share subscriptions and games on that Xbox. If that is taken away, the accounts on the Xbox wouldn't have access to the subscriptions and games. Here's some info

    There is a way if you have your friends console set as home to allow your wife to use your gold.

    As long as your account is signed in at the same time as her account on your non home xbox she would be able to use your gold and play your digital games.

    So she would have to

    Sign into your account.

    Switch profiles to her account and sign in

    and as long as your profile continues to be signed then she would be able to play your digital games and use any subscription you have.

    Hello MedicalMediaMan,

    We understand that you're experiencing an issue concerning home console sharing.

    We hope that we clear this up for you to the best that we can here.

    Games and subscriptions are only shared when the owner of those games and subscriptions sets a console as the
    home console. This process allows all accounts that are on the console access to games and subscriptions on that belong to that original
    account without having to sign into that account.

    In this case, if you decided to switch the home console to share with your friend, your wife would then lose access to what items are on your account, even if those items have been accessed before.

    We hope that this information helps, and in case there are other questions you can always feel free to reply here.

    Best wishes!

    Your wife would lose access to your gold if you set your friend's console as your Home. You can only share gold/games on your Home console.

    It is recommended you set your own console as your Home, but if you do decide to share with your friend make sure you are doing it by setting the console as your Home yourself and removing your account. Sharing account information to do so is a violation
    of the code of conduct and can put you at risk for being banned.

    game sharing

    First of all, you need to understand that there is no "game sharing" between two accounts, in a sense that you and your friend mutually have access to each other games.

    Strictly speaking, you are sharing games to your friends console. Which does not automatically share his games to your console.

    Each account can designate one single Home Console, and if your friend chooses a different Home Console for whatever reason, your console will stop sharing his games.

    So in order to make sure your console is allowed to share his games, your friend has to sign in on your console, and check in the Settings under Personalization that his account has your console still set as his Home Console.
