  1. Question about Home Xbox and purchasing games


    Here's the scenario. One Xbox Series S, profile A (home Xbox) and profile B. Profile A is signed out, and profile B buys a game from the Microsoft store on their own account with their own card. Does profile A own the game since it's their home Xbox? If profile A were to change the home Xbox, would profile B still own that game?

    :)

    Question about Home Xbox and purchasing games

    Only the profile that purchases the game would own the game. So if profile B buys a game, they will own the game, not profile A. If profile A changes the Home setting, profile B would still own the game since they purchased it on their account.

    Question about purchasing games.

    If it gets added, it's usually about a year or so. Maybe a couple of months sooner.

    Account [Can I transfer games and content licenses from one account to another?]

    Hello Timon994,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

    You are not able to transfer the content that you have purchased from one account to another however, you can designate your console as the home console for that account. By doing so, any account that signs into that Xbox will have access to all the games and content that the account owns (with the exception of in-game purchases and progress).

    You can find out more about how designate a home console here:

    Question about Xbox Home Gold

    Rex,

    Once you move out of your roommate's house you will need to purchase your own love gold membership. His good will not be on your account. However, you can get a gold membership for one year for $59.99+tax. If you can't afford the year price up front you
    can do a monthly for$9.99 or three month for $24.99. Also keep an eye on sites like Amazon, Microsoft store, etc because sometimes you can find sales on the yearly gold.
