    Person who purchased game needs to sign in


    So I have a Xbox series X and my friend has an Xbox one. Friend broke his Xbox and has been using his son's Xbox one. He likes Farcry Primal (I own it) and since my account is also on his Xbox he could download it and play it there without any issues. When his son goes home and takes his Xbox with him sometimes he'll play on mine and it won't let him play without me being signed it. It's not a huge issue but it's annoying and I don't understand while it's only happening on my xbox. Any advice appreciated. Sorry if it's incoherent been drinking and this is the best I can do currently.

    :)

    Person who purchased game needs to sign in

    Anyone can play games on an account's home console. If users want to play a game on a different console, the account that purchased the game needs to be signed in.

    If your console is not your account's home console, your account will need to be signed in for anyone on the console to play a game you purchased. Also, note if the console you play on is not your account's home console, and is unable to connect to Live, you won't be able to play any games until the console can connect to Live.

    More on the home console can be found here.

    you will need separate accounts for each person who plays on the Xboxes.

    person A has purchased the games/subscriptions (Live Gold/Game Pass) and plays on Xbox 1

    person B doesn't have Gold or any games and plays on Xbox 2

    in this situation person A signs in on Xbox 2 and designates it as their Home Xbox then signs out

    this allows person B to play the digitally owned games and make use of person A's subscriptions (although person A will need to sign in to download games from Game Pass)

    Person who bought this game needs to be signed in?

    This was likely due to a service alert that was up effecting the ability to play downloaded games and apps. You should be able to use them now that the alert has lifted. If you continue to have this problem please post back.

    How to share game pass between 3 Xbox consoles in the same house

    You can only share on 1 console at a time. So the person who buys the games/subscriptions would need to set 1 of the console as their Home. The other profiles would use that console and the person who purchased everything can still sign in and use the non-Home console. For a 3rd console, you'd either have to purchase everything at least 1 more time or sign in with the purchasing account.
