    Same game on a computer with two accounts not possible?


    Hello! My 9 year old son an I share a Dell Windows 10 Notebook with the xbox App. He has his own login. Two days ago I bought forza horizon for him as it was 40% reduced. But I bought it on my login / account on our notebook assuming he can also play the
    game. This works for origin-games. But when he logs in, he cannot see the game and also it seems that I cannot share or transfer the game to him. Any help would be appreciated, as I don't want to play (I only have to pay...) .

    Regards, Stefan

    (All with the XBox - App in Win10)

    :)

    multiple computers

    I have two different Microsoft computers. Can I connect the two accounts so I have the same progress on either computer?

    Playing a game on two computers but on the same account

    Hello,

    I'm not using Microsoft Store to play games, if I'm using something like Epic Games, would it still work if it's an online game?

    Thanks

    Hello, Nicholas S. I’m Arturo, and I’ll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    Depending on the game, doing that will represent issues with the saved data because some games upload the progress to the cloud.

    So, your best option would be logged with your account on the Microsoft Store.
    Then, on your friend’s PC enable offline permission via Microsoft Store settings and once your friend download the titles they want, he can change the account on the Xbox app (your account needs to be logged in the Microsoft Store).

    Thanks for your attention,

    Arturo.

    Hi, Nicholas.
    Probably that’s not going to work, even more if it’s an online game where you play against others, like Fortnite.

    Additionally, I'm not aware if the Epic games' launcher supports a feature to share your library, I didn't find an official article from them.
    So you can try contacting Epic support to further review this option in case it is suitable for your needs.

    Xbox Live account switch

    Hello There.

    Unfortunately it is not possible to link two accounts together.

    What you can do is to sign the profile on your computer to your Xbox and set it as Home Xbox, than games, live etc will be shared between accounts.

    Possible to play on two different xbox at the same time on the same account?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I apologize but it's not possible, we can only be signed in to one device at a time. It will automatically sign you out.

    You may need to create a profile for them.
