    Game Sharing with family member


    Hello,

    My son who is part of my family group requested to purchase a game in the Microsoft app store which I authorised and paid for, but I cannot play the game, or any other family members. I thought all members of the same family group have access to purchased games?

    :)

    Game Share

    Game sharing is meant for sharing with a family member. If you want to share your games with a family member, you will first need to login with your account to your family member's console and set that console as your home console. Then you can simply
    log out and anyone who use that console can play your games.

    So is it possible to get more “make home console” cause I waste mines trying to do it?

    Customer support can’t offer additional switches. If you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and need assistance, select Help when you see the message Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception. If you don't get a survey, you'll have to wait until the limit resets on its own.

    Oh, I'm sorry for that. There is a workaround if you're on PC, according to Xbox support:

    "If you’re planning to play games or use subscriptions purchased by someone else who uses that PC—a parent, for example—you’ll need to add their account as the Microsoft Store account in the Xbox app settings. Otherwise, games already installed using that account won’t launch because they weren’t purchased using your Xbox account."
