  1. Multiple accounts on Xbox One and Xbox One S DLC issues


    Currently I am playing Destiny on the day one Xbox One. I used to have the family plan on XBoxLive and I have 4 gamertags. During the slow times I started over on another account. I typically just log out of one account and log back into another and continue
    to play. All games and DLC's are available for each of the accounts. I pre-ordered the new Xbox One S and when I received it I transferred everything over to it and discovered that I needed to open my main account and leave it open in order to access games
    on family gamertags. That's not really a problem and others have told me they have to do the same on their XBoxes for family members. The problem is that now the DLC's are not available on family accounts. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution?
    My S is currently disabled but I plan on setting it back up later. Is this a Destiny issue or an Xbox issue?

    :)

    It's how the licenses work. You can only share content with other acccounts without being signed in on your Home console. You would need to set the new console as your Home.

    This is because of Home Xbox and how digital licences are granted.

    On your main console - your first one in this case, which is set as Home Xbox - any profile can play all of your games, regardless of whether the account that purchased the games is signed in or not. The Home Xbox could even be offline and the games will
    still work. On any other console, the account that owns the content needs to be signed in (it could be another account playing, but the owner needs to be signed in).

    So, if the One S is now going to be the family's main console, you can designate that as Home Xbox in Settings and all family profiles will be able to play your games - and access all DLC. On your Day 1 console, you would now need to be signed in for your
    games to work and to access DLC.

    Note: you can only change Home Xbox designation three times per 12 month period.

    Hope that explanation helps. Let us know if you have further questions.

    Playing solo games offline

    If you want to share your games & dlc on the Xbox One S, then you need to log in with the account that purchases those games & dlc on the Xbox One S and make it the home Xbox. When you do this, your Xbox one X console will need to be logged in on Xbox
    Live all the time to be able to play games.
