Purchasing game on profile that is not set as "home Xbox"

R0nster · Aug 25, 2016

i currently have profile A set as "my home Xbox" as this has Xbox live gold membership.

However, I want to buy a game on profile B from the Xbox marketplace which does not have gold membership.

if I buy a game on profile B from the marketplace, would I have full access to the online features of the game? would this be possible because I have gold membership on the other profile and it is set as the "home Xbox profile" or would I need to buy it
in profile A?

sorry for being long winded, I'm super confused!

:)

Whats happening??

It may be 'cause of the profile which is set as home console on Xbox

Some games that I didn't buy are appearing in my Queue to download in my Xbox One

This would show that someone has set your profile as there home xbox so you now have all of their games. as for them downloading this is because you have your xbox set to download while offline. the other thing is if you put someone's profile as
your home xbox then u will also have all there games. I hope this helps

But I don't share my profile with anyone, and I never logged on with my profile in other xbox. The weirdest thing here is there are not improper billing in my credit card history and there are not on history of this purchases in my microsoft purchases history.

Yes, you would still have access to the online features while you are sharing the gold from account A.

Only through the profile that has made the purchase and has been set as xbox home you can play the game. If the home profile leaves, the game leaves.

She can, but you need to set the profile that bought the game as Home Xbox on the console on which it will play, which in this case is the secondary console of the account that purchased the game, if not set as Home Xbox, this profile is required to be
connected and online so your daughter can play

Jeff,

As long as the purchasing profile has that Xbox One marked as the "My Home Xbox" in the Settings, then any profile on that console can play the game.

Hey there Its Nico yt.

Are there any other profiles on your Xbox One that may have purchased this games and set your Xbox One as it's home profile? If the owner of the account set a different Xbox One as their home console, you would no longer have access to those games.
