Multiple Glitches with Home Xbox/Game Share

Darth Slayer32 · Mar 30, 2018

So a few months ago, I added my account to a friends Xbox. Then recently, my brother (Who shares an Xbox with me) started not being able to access games that HE bought on his account, even though I still could. (Yes he had it set as his home xbox). We then
realized that for some reason, my home xbox had been set to another xbox (I checked with my friend and it wasn't his). Once we reset it to ours, he had access to his games again. So basically it transferred ownership of his games to me AND unset it as mine
home xbox. This was fixed for about a week until it happened again. When i went back to reset my home xbox, it says ive already done it 5 times (Which i believe even with the glitched changes should only be 5) so i can do it again in 2019. This doesn't affect
me personally, but my brother no longer has access to his games, and anyone i gameshared with can no longer access my games. I would love if someone could help me fix this, or at least explain to me why this happened.

Why can you only set a home Xbox 3 times a year?

The Home console feature exists for family members to share games and gold memberships. It's also useful for people treveling or people with multiple consoles. It's not to be used for gamesharing with friends. That is why there is a limit.

"If you have more than one Xbox One console, or if you sign in on multiple consoles, we recommend you designate the most frequently used console as your home Xbox."

Hey there Bon,

Thanks for reaching out!

The Home Xbox feature will allow you can share content with other consoles at home. Make sure to not share any personal information with anyone.

The My home Xbox setting allows you to do the following:

Share games and downloadable content purchased from Microsoft Store with anyone else who signs in on your console. You can even share games downloaded as part of a subscription.

In reference to game sharing, check out these resources:

Hope this helps. Let us know.

the thing I brought up was, 'an account only can share with one other xbox, but if you had multiple different accounts game sharing on one console, you should be able to play any of the games from any of the accounts'

This is correct. Multiple accounts can set 1 console as their Home, but each account can only set 1 console as their Home.

Consoles don't get subscribed. Xbox accounts are what the subscriptions are tied to.

FYI, sharing account details to gameshare can result in account bans. Xbox Home gamesharing is intended to be used when there are multiple Xbox's in one home. Giving out account details in order to share games with friends can be considered marketplace
theft/fraud.

Make sure that the xbox has the account you are using set as "My Home Xbox", you can only play certain content offline without making your xbox your accounts home (to prevent game sharing with multiple people who'll just go offline as soon as the game
they want is downloaded and basically share 1 game with 10 friends at once)

Hello there,

We understand that you have an inquiry about how to share games between multiple consoles.

So in this case we'll discuss home console sharing, which consists of one user adding their account to another console by setting
it as the home Xbox to share it's Xbox Live membership and games with any account on that console.

Follow the provided support article for the exact steps for full assistance with setting this up.

Best wishes!

Hello Daniel,

We thank you for bringing this inquiry to our forums community, and understand that this concerns home console sharing on the Xbox One console.

When it comes to sharing Xbox service subscriptions and or games, we always recommend to check out our
how to designate an Xbox One console as your home Xbox support article. The article will explain that only one Xbox/Microsoft account
can be designated as the home Xbox, which will allow that account to share Xbox Live/Xbox Game Pass and the games that it owns with multiple accounts or any account that is on that Xbox. You can view more information regarding sharing through the home console
from the link provided.

Try this out and then let us know the results.

Best wishes!
