    This was likely due to a service alert that was up effecting the ability to play downloaded games and apps. You should be able to use them now that the alert has lifted. If you continue to have this problem please post back.

    The person who bought this needs to sign in

    Hello, today when I got home I went to play on my Xbox One but for some reason every single game I have installed from the store kept closing immediately and giving me the message "The person who bought this needs to sign in." I am signed in on the account
    that bought the game on the same Xbox that I bought and installed the game on. I am not using a different account or Xbox. I have tried signing out and signing in, restarting the console, making the Xbox my home Xbox, reinstalling the games, and everything.
    Please help this is driving me crazy I can't play any of my games that I have bought and installed from the store.

    Hi there,

    The only way for purchased games to be played on a console without the purchasing account being logged in is the games have to be played on the purchasing account's home console.

    While logged into the console with the purchasing account check to make sure it's the account's home console:

    On the dashboard > Scroll left from Home to open the guide.
    Select Settings > All Settings >
    Personalization > My home Xbox.

    More details on the home console setting can be found here:

    Let us know if that helps or not

    Just a note about the home console thing - you can only change your home console a few times a year (3 if I remember correctly).

    Is it not just easier for you to use 1 console (and just to using that console) and your brother uses the other ?

    The account belongs to me and there is no problem in playing the games until I restart the console

    I see. Perhaps, this is a bug or small glitch so kindly give it time and try it again within 24-72 hours.
