Share a game between a few profiles on the same Xbox X console

LiorRonen · Jan 10, 2021

I have 3 accounts on my Xbox X: mine and 2 for my kids. I downloaded a game to the console using my account and I want my kids to be able to play on their accounts. How can I do it?

Hi Lior.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. Check this guide on how to set up a home console and game share.

Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for - don't know why I could'nt find it on my search

I figured out what happened. all my content was transferred from another xbox360 console that died. Not sure why it would still let my profile play it or just give some sort of warning, but here is what I had to do.

Step 1 - Transfer the content license from my old console to my new console by following these steps:

support.xbox.com/.../download-content

Step 2 - Redownload ALL my games, addons, etc. (like 100GB for me, thx MSFT) . The easiest way to do this is to follow these instructions:

support.xbox.com/.../redownload-content

Hello, it is not possible to transfer items between accounts or profiles; but you can share content between different profiles of the same console, such as downloaded games, as long as the profiles are in the same console, as your home console.

The content can be shared between profiles (but not moved) on the same console it was downloaded to so long as the original profile has not been banned.
