    If I already own and have a digital game downloaded but my Xbox isn’t my home console...


    I have the Witcher 3 enhanced downloaded on my series x but due to the fact that I gave my brother my old console and left it as my home Xbox so he has my subscription and purchased games I cannot play my owned content without wifi and my wifi goes out frequently I’d like to know if I bought a physical copy of said game could I play it off the download that I already have or would I need to re download it and without wifi would it play the xbone version or the enhanced version since that’s what I have downloaded

    :)

    Changing Xbox one console

    Hi, i was thinking about purchasing an Xbox one s all digital console. My question is about games i own on disc. If i migrate to one of these consoles and sign in with my xbox live account, will i have to purchase all my games i own on disc again
    digitally or will i get to download them free of charge as i already own them. Thanks in advance.
    yes you would need digital copys even if you own the discs for the xb1 sad

    Can I have multiple accounts on an xbox that share games?

    Hello!

    Thanks for reaching out to us here on the forums with this situation. Is the game on a disc or is it a digital download? If it is digital the account that owns the game would have to be made home console where you're daughter is having trouble accessing
    the content. Take a look at this helpful support article:
    How to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox    . Let us know with a reply how it goes.

    If I already own and have a digital game downloaded but my Xbox isn’t my home console could I insert a disc of the same game and play it without wifi

    More than happy to assist! If ever you are having problems playing the disc version of the game offline, feel free to post back here and if you could include any error messages that would help us to know what could cause the problem.

    This thread is still open so feel free to post back. Thanks!

    Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and Xbox gamer like you. Hope you are doing well!

    With regards to your question, if the console is not your Home console but you have a disc version of the same game then yes that would work offline. Game discs are also playable offline after installation. Your console gets the license right from the disc.

    More details about it can be found at https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne... also noted on "What can I do Offline?" which notes that Play games (provided you've set this as your home Xbox or have a game disc) meaning you should be able to play it.

    I hope the information helps somehow. Feel free to post back if you have further questions or concerns and we will try with the best of our knowledge to offer assistance.

    Kind regards,

    Ben
