Is there any answer on why there is only 5 switches on my home xbox??I feel like, which probably more people feel the same way that if their was more switches it would be a boost to the gaming console

The number was increased from 3 a few years ago and 5 is more than enough. There's a limit to help avoid exploiting the feature. Ultimately, if you're using the Home setting the way it's supposed to, you shouldn't have to worry about reaching the limit at all.

Hello Reaper,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have a question on home console sharing. In short yes it removes the sharing from the first friend. A profile can only have one home console at a time. Here is the guide for

home console for more information. You have available 5 switches not the ability to share with 5 consecutive people.

Thanks,

Brad

... to add an info:

that's why changing to Home console is limited to 5 times/year. That you don't switch between the consoles...

The 1st profile ever signed into the console will automatically be assigned as My Home Xbox.

You will give a notification on screen on how many switches you have left with your My Home Xbox assignment.

You can only have 5 switches within a one-year period.

Hi Gavin my name is Belle. I'd love to help!

You would need to set his console as your home by following these steps:

-Sign in to his console

-Go to Settings

-General

-Personalization

-My home Xbox

And kindly ask him to set your console as his home by following the same steps. Please be mindful of your home switches as each account only has 5 switches per year.
