I recently got game shared gta5 from my mate and when ever i try to launch the game its says i need to sign in with my mates account so i can play gta5 but thatll kick him off the game and he wont be able to go on gta at the same time so can someone tell me how to play a game you got game shared without having to sign into the persons account that bought the game and it was a digital version

The "home xbox" feature was intended for households with more than 1 Xbox console so they didnt have to pay for the same game twice on two systems you own. It was never intended to be used to share games with friends.

thanks for replying

when the Xbox was bought, it was bought with gta on it already so when I set it up, all i had to do was download the game and I didn’t need the disc. I have been playing on gta5 since December with no worries and now it won’t let me
play.

I have made sure that the console is set to it’s home console and it still won’t work. What do you mean when you say that the license was taken away?

Just to make sure, are you using the account that owns the game?
If you're not sure about that, please double check if the game appears in your Microsoft account order history with status completed here:
https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

In case you have more than one email address please check on each one

No, it’s a iCloud.com

It won’t let me login where it has to enter the EA account. It shows that there is an account by my email but it just won’t let me go any further than that. I will share a picture of what I mean without the email

Yes it’s a different code, but for the same product e.g shark card for gta5.

Both codes come with what’s called the premium pack, and now I’ve already redeemed one it won’t let me redeem the other, but all I want is the money not the other bits
