Setting Home Xbox

UnhandySalmon7 · Sep 5, 2018

I recently upgraded my Xbox and would like to make that my home system, but I cannot as I am out of switches. Is there anyway to set my One X as my home Xbox even if I am out of switches, or is there a way to get more home switches?

Ok test: using your GT when you go to My Xbox in Settings on HIS Xbox, then go to My Home Xbox, it should say 'Make This My Home Xbox' or something like that. If it says that, HIS Xbox is not set as YOUR home yet.Click to expand...

On his Xbox my GT is set up already as My Home Xbox, and his GT is already set up as My Home Xbox on my Xbox...

Xbox share? Hate to ask again.

Your not sharing your account....the accounts are totally separate....anything you buy under your account....regardless of where you buy it....you own.

Two gamers....say
GT-A and GT-B

They set it up so the HOME setting as follows....
GT-As xbox (Set as GT-Bs HOME Xbox) GT-B after setting it as home no longer needs to be logged in
GT-Bs xbox (Set as GT-As HOME Xbox) GT-A after setting it as home no longer needs to be logged in

Now any games GT-A buys GT-B can play at his house, and any game GT-B buys GT-A can play at his house.

For example:
GT-A buys Halo:MCC GT-A owns the game and can download and any one can play it on their home xbox (GT-Bs xbox) and any xbox GT-A logs into(they will always log into the xbox they own that is set as GT-Bs HOME xbox.)
GT-B can download and play Halo:MCC because the xbox One they own is set as GT-As HOME system.

Thats about as clear as I can make it.....

Hi, your only option is to contact Xbox support, and ask if they can reset the Home Xbox setting for you.

The first Xbox One console that an account signs into, will automatically become that account's Home Console.

If the account then signs in on another Xbox One console, you'll have to MANUALLY set that console as that account's Home Console in the Settings under "Personalization".

So if you sign in with an account that already existed on any other Xbox One console and had the Home Console already set, you will NOT set that newly set up Xbox One as your account's Home Console.

So you can simply set up the console for Christmas day, and make the necessary Home Console settings later, so the kids can still play on the existing Home Console until Christmas.

I agree, unfortunately there isn't much that can be done but with some effort those options should get you sorted. Hope everything goes okay and gets straightened out for you

I believe there's a glitch happening at the moment and wouldn't worry that it's anything your doing wrong.

I and my brother have the exact same issue as do alot of other people.

I believe the bug as been reported to Microsoft so let's hope it gets resolved soon.

You will have to contact support directly as they are the only ones that can reset that counter. support.xbox.com/.../contact-us
