    Home xbox game share problems


    Hi,

    I have been having issues with my xbox one with home xbox game sharing. I have xbox gamepass ultimate and from what I can tell the gamepass will work will all of the other accounts on the console but games that I buy on one account will not be accessible on another and they are accounts owned by me. On good example of this I bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 on account X but on account Y I cannot play it. I remember being able to share games between accounts on my xbox when I used to bunch atleast a year ago is there a setting or maybe a family sharing thing that I have to setup?

    Thanks,

    :)

    home xbox sharing problems

    If you are referring to making your Xbox your "Home" Xbox, you can only do it 3 times in a 1 year period.

    From support:

    You can change which console is your home Xbox up to three times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling basis, starting the moment you change your home Xbox for the first time. For example, if you make your console your home
    Xbox for the first time on January 1st, and then change it two more times, on February 1st and March 1st, you will not be able to change it again until January 1st of the following year. The next time you'll be able to change it after that will be on the following
    February 1st, and then again on March 1st. Please make a note of the dates when you change your console to your home Xbox so that you'll know when you can change its designation again.


    When you change home consoles, all device licenses for digital content will move to your new home Xbox. These device licenses will no longer be available on your old "home" Xbox.

    Xbox home sharing problem

    Regardless to what you remember doing apparently the system thinks it has been done 3 times. If someone you share with removes it and then adds it back that also counts.

    You will have to contact support directly as they are the only ones that can reset that counter. Keep in mind since there is a 3 change per year limit they are not obligated to do it but definitely worth a try.

    Good Luck!

    Sharing is easier if you're both in the same room and you have at least 2 controllers. :p

    Problems with My Home Xbox (Game Sharing)

    Customer service should reset your home limit. They have for me in the past. Unless xbox has changed there policy or you have called in before asking them to reset your home limit. Also, as smwutches said you should never share your sign in information with
    anyone. But if you do in the future change your password after you game share. This will help prevent this from happening again.
