Now have two consoles with two boys playing at the same timr

Jay Griffin · Dec 26, 2023

We purchased a 2nd Xbox for Xmas. Noe each of my boys have a console in their room. They both cannot play at the same time. On one console it it won’t let him play because it thought that he did not purchase the game. Help

I will try this tomorrow. If I understand my two boys issue. One is booting the other out. Disabling the other to play period. Is there a fix for that issue potentially?

Hello, Jay G. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

It is important to mention that the only way to play at the same time on an account that doesn't own a game, is by enabling the Home Xbox feature on the profile that owns it.

For example, if one kid owned the game, in order for the other to play, you need to set “Home Xbox” for the kid's account that owns the game on the other kid's Xbox.

You can enable Home Xbox by opening Settings > General > Personalization > Home > choose “Make this my home Xbox”.
Note: Do this by being logged into the profile that owns the game.

Please be aware, the Home Xbox feature can be enabled only on one console.

Besides that, you can check how game sharing and Home Xbox works by clicking below:

I hope you find this answer helpful to your inquiry. However, I'll remain attentive to any other one you may have.

Regards,

Arturo.

Hi, Jay.
I apologize for any misunderstanding, but as another community member like you, I'm not able to call you back or contact you outside the forums.

Can you call me now please?

Doing the previous procedure should fix the issue.

By the way, make sure that on each kid's Xbox, only their own profile is signed in.
