  1. Share 1 DLC on 2 consoles with 2 copies of game


    I am not looking to do anything illegal, just inquiring as to whether it can be done, and done legally. My wife and I each have an xb1 and I am going to pre-order gow4 for each of us. If I get 1 ultimate edition (gamestop) and 1 regular edition (best buy)
    will we be able to share all feature of ultimate edition and pre-order bonuses?

    :)

  2. Two XBox consoles?

    You can also share digital games this way. This is how I play games with my wife with 2 xboxes and 1 gold account. Just wish I could use 1 disc instead of having to buy the game digitally or 2 physical copies.

    1 Acct / 2 consoles

    [quote user="TeeMan69XXX"]One DLC on both Consoles?[/quote]

    You can do it. For example, if you buy DLC on console # 1, you can then download it on console # 2 (by going to your download history and redownloading it). The only catch is that on console # 2, you won't be able to share that DLC with anyone else, and
    you can only use it while connected to Live.

    Share 1 DLC on 2 consoles with 2 copies of game

    You and your wife would be best off utilizing game sharing.

    When you purchase a game you can access it on your Home Console and on any Console Via your sign-in

    So if you only purchased one Ultimate Edition and had your wife's console set as your 'home console' and just logged in on your console you would only actually have to purchase the one copy.

    Obviously the only limitation to this is that if you have any network outages and have to play offline, it would only be your 'home console' who could play.

    settings for setting up my home X-Box are here
    support.xbox.com/.../my-home-xbox
    and for the most cost efficient way of playing is for you to set your wifes console as your home X-Box and your X-Box as your wife's Home X-Box.

    Destiny 2 shadowkeep dlc

    I bought destiny 2 shadowkeep dlc I am trying to game share with my family xbox list I need help.
    It looks like Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is treating itself as an entirely new game from Destiny 2. While my family was previously able to use 2 copies of Destiny 2 and 1 copy of the expansions, this new expansion seems to need a copy for each family xbox.

    The Microsoft Family Con!

    yep got all of that!

    but why do multiple games "share" between them, with no problems!

    Red Dead being the problem child, but as its NOT a MICROSOFT server they play on, its Rockstar's - then one console being on a physical disc, and the other on a Digital download is not a problem...

    The main problem was that child one, did not realise that they were on Child 2's profile and loaded the code into the wrong profile - which overwrote the "insert disc" function, and means that you cannot transfer to the correct profile or get a refund!!!
    to actually put onto the correct profile, only fix is to BUY another Copy onto the profile it was meant to be on.

    that's my main gripe with that.

    But as to the family sharing the point is that its VAGUE!!!

    today I was told that with Family Sharing I could buy 1 Game and Share it to 5 family members!! But this is a contradiction when the MS rules state clearly, it only covers 1 console! 2 console's = 2 copies!

    my argument is that 1 physical + 1 digital is 2 copies, and to have both on the 3exact same profile proves a mistake, and also proves in Family as per there own statements means 2 consoles in the family have got the 2 copies required!

    for some reason i need another gold membership

    Ok first to explain it

    Lets call the primary account account 1 with gold and games and dlc

    And the second account account 2 that wants to play coop etc whatever

    Console 1 is the home console

    And console 2 is visiting console

    Console 1 Account 1 makes console 1 home and both account 1 -2 can use dlc and gamea and gold on console.1

    On console 2

    Account 1 must sign into live to use dlc and games at all times

    Account 2 does NOT have gold on console 2 as ita on console 1 you have a limit of 10 switches per year gamepass isnt shared only the gold part of ultimate is with one gold only one can be roaming

    Keep in mind an profile can only signed in on one place at a time so there Must be two profiles for them to play together

    Three consoles within same household?

    In order to share the games across all 3 consoles, you would have to purchase the games at least 1 more time on another account or as a disc. There would be no way to share among all 3 consoles without a second copy.

    You'd have to have 2 of the console set as the Home consoles for each of the accounts with the purchases, and then only those 2 accounts would be able to play on the non-Home console. Or just share a disc among the consoles, but only 1 account could play
    that at a time.
