    ‘Make my Home Xbox’


    I used ‘make my home Xbox’ so my two kids (4&5) could use my game pass. Unfortunately those two used Xboxes had issues connecting to internet and between AT&T and troubleshooting with Microsoft with no success, had to swap for newer versions. I think through the trouble shooting though I ended up using ‘make this my home Xbox’ one too many times and now my current Xbox I can’t ’make my home Xbox’ so now I’m stuck as far as being able to use my purchases for games I HAVE BOUGHT. And getting help or support for setting up? Good luck. Another corporation valuing AI which is fine, if they actually had some sort of support. How many people have to complain before they make a change?

    I feel like this arbitrary rule ‘to avoid abuse’ is trash. There needs to be a family share option or something because now I’m screwed. I’d even pay to be able to get one more add to make my home Xbox or at least they *could* make any easier option for when you only want 1-2 games for your kids and online play ability for max 10 friends.

    Make this my home xbox

    That's not how Home Xbox works, and he never had access to your games. Downloading his profile to your Xbox does not give him access to your games on his Xbox.

    And deleting his account won't make the game playable by your account; the game is still owned by his account (the licence is attached to his profile), so to play the game he would also need to be logged in on your Xbox while you play.

    Changing *your* profile's Home Xbox affects only where the games *you* purchased can be played, it does not allow you to play games that you downloaded using someone else's account.

    Here's more information on how the Home Xbox settings actually work:

    This issue is linked with your account, but I just confirmed by calling into Xbox Support that they can reset the "3 time per year" counter associated with the account.

    She deleted my gold subscription in the process, but we eventually got everything worked out and I could then set my Xbox back to "my home Xbox".

    Hope this helps!

    It's currently a known issue with the feature and Xbox are working on a fix.

    FYI, ask that they "manually" reset the counter rather than resetting the whole account.
