    I'm a Xbox preview user and game share isn't working


    I recently installed over watch and subnautica expecting it to automatically download on my little brothers' so Xbox . Keep in mind I'm game sharing with him. He ended up not getting the games, I checked on "ready to install" and "game queue" and it still
    wasn't there. I then went on to my brothers xbox( my home Xbox) and signed in on my account, I then went to the Xbox store to check the digitally downloaded games (overwatch and subnautica) they were not purchased for some reason. I think it's the preview
    program and if so, if I leave it will things go back to normal Ps I signed my brother up for the preview program to see if it would work, I think I'm going to delete it

    :)

    Any games bought on a console in the preview program can only be played on consoles with the preview dash at the moment so if your brothers console isn't in the preview they won show up.

    Any other questions then it's best to check/post in the preview forums
    forums.xbox.com/.../default.aspx

    I don't think so as they were still bought while in the preview.

    You may not actually be removed until the next update goes public anyway.

    It shouldn't be to long before it's made available to everyone.

    Xbox game share isn't working completely

    Hi RobJerry

    We just need a little more information before we can advise you.

    When you say the console came with a game pre-installed, was this a second-hand console? I ask this because new console that are bundled with games usually get a physical copy or a code card in the box. You would then need to redeem this code on your account before they can be downloaded. I've not heard of new consoles coming with games pre-installed.

    Let us know and we will see if we can help.

    Game sharing isn't working properly

    I checked and we are game sharing fine. I also have tried doing a hard reset and removing his account and re adding you. I don't know what else to do.

    Game sharing isn't working properly

    Hello @Dakashi, I hope everything is going well for you!

    Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support.

    I am very sorry to know you are having such conveniences. Please do not worry about the situation because I am here to help you out!

    According to the explanation you have provided, I believe you have but a little issue with changing profiles on your console. Therefore, you will only need to follow those simple steps that I will provide you with and your issue should be fixed.

    The first step you will need to follow is to ensure that your home console is set up correctly, so please follow the link bellow:

    Designate a home Xbox | Xbox Support

    After you make sure that the account you have the game o is set up correctly please sign out or switch profile, then sign in with the account that does not own the game.

    The second step is to make sure that you are signed in with two different profiles.

    Please make sure that the profile that does not own the game is the one signed in on the console you made the home xbox. As for the account that owns the game can be signed in on the other console.

    I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

    Kind Regards

    Stay safe, and happy gaming!

    [quote user=""]Why would you post this in the general section and not the preview section?[/quote]

    Because the goal of the preview section is to discuss any issues that may arise during the preview, such as with this app. This thread, on the other hand, is simply sharing the news of a new app that is coming to the public very soon. Speaking of the public,
    there has been no official NDA to indicate that I'm not allowed to share this info with the public and am required to keep it within the preview section. ;)
