Sharing DLC between two accounts in the same console

InsetUniform972 · Aug 20, 2014

Hello,

I have two accounts on the same console.

On account A I purchased GTA V and Magic 2015. Both games have been downloaded to console #1

On Account B I purchased the "All Cards Unlock" for Magic 2015 and also some free DLCs for GTA V. All of them have also been downloaded to console #1.

Will account A be able to play Magic 2015 in the console #1 with all cards unlocked ?

Will account A be abble to play GTAV with all free downloaded DLC from account B in the same console ?

What about Call of Duty and Gears of War maps that I paid from account B ? Will the account A also be able to use them in the same console ?

Clear replies are fully appreciated.

Thanks,

:)

Xbox One Online Subscription Sharing

Douchbag rip-off prevention. too laxxed if you ask me. You can game share between two Xboxes with two different account holders, both paying for Xbox Live. But both would have to trust the other person completely. This would allow two people to each play the same copy of the game on their home consoles. But you already reap the benefits of free Gold when playing on the same console anyway. Microsoft and the Xbox One is pretty lenient with general account sharing, game sharing and free Gold sharing. no need to rape the system. Just play regularly. Between sales, I doubt you two would be buying that may games. sounds like a bit like overkill just to play CoD. theres also some down sides to doing the game sharing thing too, ya know.

Sharing DLC between Gamertags on the same console?

If you bought the content before you got the new console, then you just need to do a license transfer so the licenses will be attached to the new console and allow you to share the DLC again. http;//xbox.com/drm

When you purchase content it is tied to the console it was purchased on as well as the console it was purchased on. That console license allows all profiles on a console to share the content. So yes, if you purchase something with Account #1, Account #2
will have access and vice versa.

There are a few pieces of DLC that can't be shared, but it's very few. And avatar content cannot be shared that way.

You can not have the same account to share between two consoles. You have to create a different account and then it will work.

Yes, the dlc can be used by all accounts on the console you originally purchased it on. He should just be able to start the game and play it. Try it, and post some more info if it doesn't work.

To share DLC between profiles on the same console you need to have the console set as the home console.

So while signed into the account that owns the DLC you need to go to the settings app then select the set home console option.

This option also allows you to share your gold membership with other profiles on your console as well.
