Sharing Digital Games

Kyziee · Dec 2, 2014

Hello

I wanted to know, if a friend shares a digitally downloaded game with me can I then go and share the game with another one of my friends?

I also wanted to know how many people you can actually share a digitally downloaded game with.

Please help.

:)

Why are digital prices high?

Remember you can do digital sharing too, my mate plays my digital games on his console

Yes and no, you can share the game on the console you use setup as his home console, but you can't share across consoles after that. (base on you having access to your friends titles)

You also might want to check the terms and conditions, before you commit, get burned at a later date and regret it.

you must own each console the game will be on, the console that is set as the home console will let any profile on there play the game and any other console you must be signed in with your profile, this is a grey area and can be deemed against the terms
of use, sharing in the same household is much more common and I think should be ok, but game sharing with friends in different locations could technically be called market place theft.

If you share account. You share games, apps, every subscriptions what you have..

You share only digital games. No on disc. Only digital.

Regardless if Family settings, game sharing parameters still apply. So the digital games can only be shared on two consoles. In terms of buying the games directly from Microsoft that is not an issue as long as the game shared is in digital format, it really
doesn't matter from what retailer you purchase the game as long as it is digital format.

Hey AlteredDart.

Thank you for reaching out to the forum. That is not possible in the long run. You are only allowed to change your home consol 5 times pr. year. So i would recommend that shared purchases are done on that account.

Yes, it is called game sharing. To do this you need to sign in to your account on their Xbox, go to settings --> personalization --> my home xbox --> Make this Xbox my home Xbox. Now just sign in to your children's account(s), go to library, then full
library, and they'll be able to download the games. Also, if you have a gold membership, they will have access to it too. Hope this helped!
