    I can't play the same game with different profiles on my PC


    Hi!

    I have a Windows PC with 2 user profiles. These profiles each have their separate Xbox accounts and Game Pass subscriptions. I know a single Game Pass subscription cannot be shared on PC between users, and I'm fine with it, that is why each profile has its own subscription.

    Now I want to play Sea of Thieves in both of these profiles. I can install it without a problem on one of the profiles, but the other profile does not see it as installed. It shows me that I have to install it on that profile too. Which is stupid, I don't want to install a game twice and use twice as much storage. It's the same game for crying out loud!

    But even if I try to install it on my second profile its does nothing. Just sits in the queue with 0% progress for eternity.

    :)

    I can't play the same game with different profiles on my PC

    Hi Domvik, my name is Belle. I'd love to help!

    I definitely understand your sentiments, however, since it's a separate profile on the same PC, you would still need to download it separately on each profile. Thus, please know that you can share the same subscription on one PC by setting up the Store account and signing in on the Xbox app using your preferred Xbox profile.

    You may want to consider setting it that way and for your reference, you can check it here: https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/manage-account/gaming-and-store-accounts

    Move son to his own account

    Hi BreeziiKat, really really sorry but you can't. I'm on the same position (one Xbox, one PC at home and 4 players :) ) but from the beginning,
    bought all games on my own account and my child or my wife do the same, so all can play on Xbox or PC with their account "my" games (Home console). This year, my Xbox One X will go to my son like his console and me on Series X. He will lost all previous games
    ok, but with a fresh Game Pass subs, no matter.

    Again, i understand, but you can't transfer content between different account, sorry.
