    my gamesharing only works one way


    me and my brother started game sharing. we both added our accounts on each others Xbox. (he has a series s and me an Xbox one) then we download each others games that we wanted. we can both download them but where the difference lies is that i cant play his unless I have him signed in on my Xbox. but he can play mine when ever he pleases. its very annoying because it not only defeats the purpose but when hes playing his xbox i cant play any of his games. i open to any suggestions but whenever i try to look it up it just says the only play one game at a time thing. which while i have read ive also read what gamesharing is supposed to do. and i dont think its that.

    idk if were added in the family thing or if its becuase of our different consoles but i just download hours of games that took almost all my space and now i cant play them. please help me

    :)

    And it also depends on what game

    If it is an ea pass game then no only the account holder can do so

    To enable game sharing, as well as having each others profiles on the Xbox, you must also set your home xbox as his home Xbox and then set his as yours.

    This can be found in the settings. Go to general then personalisation, in here you will find my home xbox.

    If you are signed into his account, click this and then click make this my home Xbox. Once this is done you can sign into your account and play as usual.

    The other person must do the same process but click make this my home Xbox whilst signed into your account.

    Can two of my friends gameshare with me at the same time?

    I'm not asking anyone to gameshare with me, I am asking if two of my friends can gameshare with me
    You can only with one ( gameshare only works between 2 consoles)

    Set home Xbox limits

    You know gameshare only work on one console per switch right so if one console is gamesharing i dont see how that is abusing
