How can I share a game with another profile on the same device?

Isi77 · Jun 1, 2020

Hi there,

I've bought a game with my Xbox profile for my daughter.

The game is successfully downloaded and registered, I can launch it from my profile.

There are 3 profiles on the same Xbox : mine (as an admin), my son's and my daughter's.

I want to share the game with my daughter, but when we launch it from her profile, it returns that we have to purchase the game.

I have to sign first with my profile, launch the game, then switch to my daughter's profile to let her play.

Is there any other way to make it? It's a bit heavy as a process, and it requires that I'm around to let her play her game.

Thanks in advance for any answer.

You would have to make it your home xbox hope this helps!

That's the point !

I've set the Home Xbox and she eventually can run the game without my former sign-in.

Thanks a lot

I think that's just what you have to do. For example, I have my son in my family on Xbox so he has access to all my games on his xbox which we labelled the "home" xbox and plays them no problem, but when he tries to play on my Xbox, I need to sign in with
my profile first and then he can play.

I think it's only like that for games to play online with other people but not totally sure.

It's a standalone game actually, so...

Ok.

I thought to another solution, tell me how you feel it.

I saw I can offer the game to another profile through a redeem code.

If I create this redeem code, the DRM will be transfered to my daughter's account and she would be able to run it on her own as she will be the new legal owner of the game.

What do you think?
