  1. Sharing a game purchased online between the household


    My sons went halves in a couple of games the bought online and were sharing them, when my daughter bought an XBox they logged her into our XBox Gold Live account and my youngest son lost access to the games they bought. It says that he has no more swaps
    left??? I am not very xbox literate, but my boys have told me that he can' get the games now until February 2020.

    Surely we don't have to purchase a second one of all of the games?

    :)

    ok thanks very much for the info, I think when they logged my daughter in just for the xbox live, because she won't play the games they like, it gave the games to her and then my youngest lost them, but we cant' get it back until Feb next year, which is
    a bummer.

    Thank you but the link just takes me to a page that says "sorry support isn't available now" . I had tried XBox direct first, but they are not contactable?????

    I know about the 5 switches they don't know how they would have used them all, maybe each they buy a game? But now he has none and that doesn't seem right, that he lost everything.

    You cant

    One support has no controll ovee the switches

    You can however use the help tool on your console to ask for another 5 once a year additionally

    Using the survey feature

    He hasn't lost anything he can download and play any game in his collection as long as he is logged into that console as he does it. The other brother (the one that doesn't own it as it can only be owned by one person/account) can play it on the console
    that his other brother has made as his "home" console. But your home console can only be changed 5 times in a one year period as previously stated. And it can only really be shared in this fashion by 2 family members. Because there are more perhaps they may
    have been switching to allow more to use it. But the limit is 5 to prevent misuse.
