Sharing games on the same account

Japegoat · May 4, 2020

I set up a XBox One account so that I could set time limits on my son’s account. When he was logged in to my account a month ago, I approved the purchase of Madden 20. Now I want to set limits for him, but since Madden 20 was purchased on my account, he
doesn’t have access to it when he is logged in. Is there any way I can transfer or share the game from my “parent” account to my son’s account so I can enforce the time limit?

You would want to set the console as the Home console for the parent account in order to share with him. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

unfortunately that isn't possible.

they will each need their own accounts to play at the same time. this means they will lose all their progress in games but it will give you the options to set up parental controls.

for them to be able play the digital games you will need to make the Xbox your Home Xbox.

the following link has all the information on setting up your Home Xbox https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

if you have 2 Xboxes that they want to play on you would need to sign in on the Xbox that isn't set as your Home then have your son switch to his profile

Not possible, the account will be signed out if another signs into it.

OP meant to share his digital games not his gold. Though the concept is still the same, but he does not need to have two gold accounts to share the game. He needs two accounts with the same game to share on all 3 consoles.

I think extended is wrong.

The true and first meaning of the account/game sharing was to a house share like 2 brothers with 2 consoles and for the parents doesnt need to buy 2 xbox live golds or 2 games. And not to people share with all their friends.

Doesnt mix the family settings with account sharing on Xbox, is not the same thing and not the same end.
