Sharing games on same PC

Hello Unknown4238, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

To share an Xbox game on the same PC, you can follow these steps:

In the game owner's PC account (session), search for “Xbox Companion” under start.
Once inside, in the left bar, under the 3 stripes is the Xbox user of the PC owner.
Right click on the user icon, and select “Log out”.
Click on “Login”. By default it will show the PC owner's account.
Click on “Change account”.
In the pop-up window, click on “Use Another Account” and enter the Hotmail, Outlook or any Microsoft account of the person who is going to play.

Once the guest's account is loaded, all the games you have on your PC will be available to the guest without affecting your personal progress.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best regards.

when on their account on the pc load xbox app and sign out, sign in with your details and redownload the game, it will be nearly instant as it is already installed, just creates links, then sign out of the xbox app and back in with their account, they can then play normally, i do this all the time with all my kids pcs.

Game share is a console feature (due to it's "Home" designation), not a PC feature. I believe you can (not 100% sure though) share between accounts on the same PC but not on different PCs.

The game pass sharing works the same way in PC.

you can share all pc gamepass games within the home on multiple pc's too, i do this for my kids all the time with their own accounts, you have been able to share pc gamepass games since the beginning same as all apps and games purchased within the store.

It is actually better than console as i can share on 5 gaming pc's without any issues.
