  1. Home Xbox game sharing


    setting someone else's xbox as your accounts home xbox gives you access to all the games on that xbox. trading home xboxs with another person thus shares the games between both accounts. what I need to know is.... is there a way to do it where I can share
    my digital games with two of my friends? setting my xbox as their home only gives me access to theirs... I can only set one of theirs as my home, which means it seems I can only share mine with one of them... is there a way around that?

    :)

    Home Xbox game sharing

    no, you can only have 1 home Xbox, and then your account can only be signed into 1 Xbox One at a time, there is no way around that.

    frankly, MS is being extremely generous allowing their customers to do this, don't be greedy.

    lol, i actually had to rewrite my first response because it was much worse.

    but being a top level ambassador, you should have already known the answer.

    as unfortunate as it is to be a gamer that can't afford gaming(been there, done that), you should be grateful that you can share with one person, so the best you can do is either share with the poorer of the 2, or have the person you can't share with make
    your Xbox their home console and then you can just buy games for them(or have they made gifting a thing yet?).

  10. I agree with Zero Divided on this. We are fairly lucky so far. I can buy one copy and share it with my wife because the console she games on is the home console for my account. Someone at MS, thinking Phil Spencer but will have to look for it, said they
    like the Steam model. That would mean that only one instance of a game at a time. If they ever went to that you might be able to share with more people. Maybe. But that would eliminate sharing MP games sharing if you want to play with said family/friends.
    This biggest issue with this, in my view, is that it would hurt single player games but help multiplayer games. People could just share around single player without much issue but would need multiple copies to play together for those mp games. It very well
    could lead to forced mp in games.

    Game share

    home xbox setting is for the home not to share games with others outside of the home, sharing credentials is also against the terms and leads to a ban.

    buy the game.

    game share with a friend bu do not get the games?

    Game sharing like this is against the code pf conduct. Home Xbox was designed to share your Live and games on your Xbox, within your home environment.

    Gamesharing on Xbox one

    Game Sharing is actually against the terms of use.

    The home console setting was only meant to share the games within your own household on your console not to share with your friends.
