    I have purchased Destiny Taken King, but can only play it on my profile. I bought it for my son, but the system didn't install it on his profile.

    What do we need to do?

    Bungie actualky removed the ability to share this game. You would have to purchase the game on your son's account in order for him to play it.

    About to throw Xbox out the window

    Hi again,

    Ok, so I cancelled the subscriptions and got a refund.

    I have repurchased the Ultimate from Son 1 xbox through my profile.

    Games are available now on both xboxes.

    New problem is, my son's can't play them unless they are in my profile.

    If they log into their profiles on their xboxs it states to log in with the profile you purchased the games with.

    If son 1 logs into my profile it logs me out of my profile on son's 2 Xbox and vice versa.

    Now what's going on 😭

    About to throw Xbox out the window

    Hi Zeroice,

    The issues began before I cancelled the subscriptions.

    My son's still can't play shared games unless my profile is logged in

    But if I'm logged in to one xbox, then it logs me out of the other xbox.

    So both son's can't play at the same time, why can't they play these games from their profiles?

    About to throw Xbox out the window

    Hi again,

    I have already done this without success.

    Xbox 1

    = Son 1 Xbox and set to Home Xbox

    = My profile is on here as well as Son 1s profile

    Xbox 2

    = Son 2 Xbox

    = My profile is on here as well as Son 2s profile.

    Son 1 plays on xbox 1 on his profile and game says you must log in to the account that downloaded the game.

    So he logs into my account....Games work

    Son 2 plays on xbox 2 on his profile says you must log in to account that downloaded the game.

    Log into my account, games work for son 2, but son 1 Now can't play the games
