  1. My Xbox One Home and Sharing questions


    I am going to be purchasing a new xbox one when the Sunset overDrive bundle releases. I would like to know if I would need to leave my current Xbox one as my home xbox one, and leave my new xbox one with the sunset overdrive bundle as is? I am asking because
    I have a bunch of free digital games and games I bought digitally on my original that my daughter plays, and I would like to make it so she still has use of those games. Plus I also would like to make sure the child security stays the same. Also is it possible
    to have 2 my homes?

    Need a lot of help with this so please be very descriptive as I can see a few problems arriving from this. Me not being able to even setup the other Xbox one unless I use it as a primary home, or it even possible conflicting with my daughter if I log onto
    XBL from the other XB1. Also She has her own account which is paid for.

    P.S. I really wish they would bring back the family bundle this is pretty ridiculous!

    :)

  2. 2 Xbox Ones, 2 people, 1 Live Gold account?

    Hi in reply to your question Yes you could share gold with her but your account would have to be on her xbox and your account would have to be signed in to share xbox live. With setting the home xbox's yes you both would be able to share games if both of
    you have each other xbox's set as home. You only can game share 3 times a year though.

    If you have any more questions or are a little confused here is a link on how gold sharing and game sharing works.

    Gamesharing with family

    I have a question about sharing your games with family.

    So there are 2 xbox one consoles in my home right now, one for me and one for one of my brothers. We are sharing all games and live at the moment that we buy through my account. My other brother is thinking about buying xbox one too, so there will be 3 consoles.

    Is it possible to share games and live from my account to both of my brothers consoles so we can play online together?

    Sorry if there is post about this question but i couldnt find it.

    My Xbox One Home and Sharing questions

    You can only have one console designated as the Home console per gamer tag. If you leave the original as the Home console for your 'tag, any other gamer tags on that console will still have use of that content. You will be able to download or install it
    onto the new console and access it if you are logged into Live with the account that bought the content (assumably yours). You being logged into the other new console will not have any effect on your daughter playing the content on your original console.

    Glad to be of assistance. Hopefully Microsoft will have some update to their proposed Family Sharing plan soon which will alleviate a lot of the issues you are concerned about.

    Share xbox one with more than 1 friend

    Hiya, Renato!

    Paul from Xbox Forums Team here to help with the question. The question being if it's possible to share games with more than one person at a time. Unfortunately you can only home console share with one Xbox at a time. Here are a few links on how to set up
    Home Console Sharingworks and benefits you.
