    Multiple Consoles in my Home


    Now that I dont play as much as I used to my 2 Boys have mostly taken over my Xbox One and they Love playing together. However not all games have Hot seat option. If I were to buy a Second console I know i could share games on both of them but. Would I have
    to buy duplicate copies of all games or would one copy be enough for multiplayer games. For example PvsZ GW2 and Titanfall 2. And would 1 gold subscription be enough for those 2 consoles or would I have to pay for 2 at the same time?.

    :)

    Have i got lucky or is there an explanation?

    A single console can have multiple accounts set it as their home console. So yes, it is because your console is still set as their home console.

  3. Home gold for multiple consoles at home on same network?

    home gold works for multiple accounts in the same console. What about it being shared by the two consoles I have in my home. Is that not the same purpose as home gold?

    You would make the main console your home console. This way the games on the main console could be played on both.

    Also, you would only need one Gold subscription. Just add everyone into your "Xbox Family" done from the settings menu.

    You could share digital games and the Gold subscription between the consoles; however, for any disc games you would need multiple copies to play at the same time, one per console.

    here's a better understanding of it because I recently purchased a second Xbox one for my home....my stepson had his first and his mom ways renew his live account every year so what I did is have home login on my Xbox and set it up as his home Xbox so it
    can share his Xbox live account so no matter who plays on my Xbox one will have live access....so since his account have live access no matter what Xbox he signs on with will have live access....also I'll have access to ANY downloaded games he buys I'll be
    able to download that game to so we actually buying one getting one free and buying one live account and getting one free lol. So the only thing you need to do is make the Xbox your boys play on your home Xbox to give the live access and just sign into your
    but make sure you DO NOT set the Xbox your going to play on your home Xbox....also to share games ALWAYS buy digital copies that way both xboxs shares the same game...also look into getting at least a 4tb hard drive ($119) each at bestbuy if your going to
    buy digital games because you will run out of space with game updates and buying digital copies for game sharing....hope this helps

    Multiple Xbox Home Console

    You can only have 1 console set as your Home at a time. So changing to the new console removed your Home setting from the previous console it was on. You would need to choose a console to leave it on in order to share with the kids or purchase everying
    again on at least 1 other account.

    DRM on games?

    According to the support site, you can play a digital game from any XB1 console, but you must be signed into Xbox LIVE. If it's your home console however, (ie. the one you've designated at your home Xbox) anyone can play it regardless of whether or not your
    profile is signed in.

    In other words, from what I've gathered, licenses work in a similar fashion as the 360, with games being tied to your XBL account and to your home console.
