    Ok. Hopefully this won't be too confusing.

    Person (my son) bought a DLC on the console I am using, under his account. Neither I nor him "used" it right away, until he logged into a different console. So, is that DLC only attached to his account and the console he first "downloaded" it on?

    His home xbox is the one I am using. I can play the game, which again was bought under his account, which makes sense because of what I just mentioned and I think because we are listed as family under his account too?

    But the store asks me to buy the game (which makes sense, I suppose because it wasn't bought under my account) - but I went to buy the DLC under my account to use, but I don't see it (it was for more characters) - is this because it would only work if I bought a separate copy of the game? So, in other words, you can "share" games as a family but not DLC?

    :)

    How do I buy a DLC for a game that I am sharing with the person's whose home xbox I am using when they're not signed in?

    It would be tied to his account and his Home console. Not all DLC can be shared though which may the case with this DLC.

    XBOne X, Destiny 2 Beyond Light Expansion - DLC will not work for Family member on (My) Home XBOne

    Thanks #dempup,

    I appreciate that not all DLCs could be shared on XBOne using Home XBox sharing, but I am told by Clan members that D2 Beyond Light can and has been shared - how do I find out how my son can play the DLC content?

    Rainbow Six Siege Deluxe. Missing operators!

    That is not true. I am the main owner and i buy all the games on my account so with it being the home xbox all my kids can enjoy the games and dlc’s I buy for every game. Like dlc killers or survivors in dead by daylight for instance trough buying the dlc.
    Thats how microsoft sold the device as sharing all games and addons with your family as in my kids. I am not talking about in game payment with unlocked money. Neither is the OP. Its about buying stuff in the microsoft store where ubisoft is the first to ever
    make a change to dlc not sharing. He bought the deluxe edition which included two extra dlc’s to download. You can actually see here in the ubisoft forum when the changed it and patched it only half way the questions they them self found out the so called
    buy dlc’s seperate for your kids. It worked for years as how microsoft back in 2014 explained. Just set your xbox to home and all bought content and dlc’s are shared to family members on that console. https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/2190804-Missing-Year-1-Operators/page10

    Minecraft Dungeons Ultimate DLC with child account

    Hi JuurGroove, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    There are DLCs that can be shared and there are DLCs that can't be shared as well. Just a friendly reminder though that setting up a family setting does not mean that the game, DLCs, and subscriptions will be shared to their account, it is a feature where you can manage a child account.

    You need to set your account as Home Xbox on the console in that way all profiles logged in to the console will be able to use your subscriptions, DLCs, and games.

    1. Sign in to your account.

    2. Press the Xbox button to open the guide.

    3. Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.

    4. Check "Make this as My Home Xbox".

    I am online. I can’t remove my account from my xbox because then it will delete my home Xbox and the person I am game sharing with does not have anymore “switches”.
