    Is it possible to share games on PC with another Microsoft account?


    A close friend of mine has Forza Horizon 4, and offered me to play it. I saw that Microsoft allows to add other e-mail to the family, but I'm not sure if it games can be shared, because he added my e-mail to his "family"
    in his Microsoft account but I can't play it thorugh the Microsoft Store.

    Then I found an older post in this forum were a moderator says that it's not possible to share, but if he logs in with his account on my PC, then I can download it, hence the first phrase on How to associate devices with
    the Movies & TV app in Windows 10 "You can download purchased content to up to five devices and redownload the content as many times as you like." But does it work with games?

    :)

    Gamedata

    Xbox Live sharing is for Xbox console only. Even though it is possible to share Xbox live and games on the console (I understand you are on PC) you can not share saved game data. It is not possible to transfer digital data from one account to another on
    either platform.

    Xbox Game Pass Ultimate - Family Sharing on a Family's PC

    I am in the same boat. I have downloaded a game with my account on another PC we own, so that another Microsoft Account can then sign in and play the game, but there is no official way to share it on PC yet. Hopefully soon it'll be implemented and Game Pass Ultimate will be that much better!

    Can I share my PC Game Pass Ultimate with my son on his computer without logging into my account?

    Hello Alex,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to share your PC Game Pass Ultimate with your son on his computer without logging into your account. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. The PC Game Pass Ultimate is tied to your Microsoft account and can only be shared when you sign in your Microsoft account on Microsoft Store App on your PC.

    We hope you understand. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.



    Sincerely,

    you cant share games from one account to another that are downloads, account stuff such as games arent ment to be stored on pc because of modding and file sharing.
