Two consoles, same house, sharing issue.

Splutters · Mar 28, 2015

I've been reading up online about the ability to share your games if you have two consoles under the same roof with digitally bought games. Is this possible to do with physical copies of games? My brother and I both have an Xbox One each and want to play
GTA online together, except we only have one physical copy.

With you being able to share if you download digitally, surely there is a way for those of us who went out and bought a copy of a game?

Any reply is appreciated.

This certainly works, I have TF downloaded, paid once and is happily playing at the same time on two different consoles with two different gamertags, in the same house.

I am a happy bunny.

With physical copies you would need two copies of the game. You have to have the disc in the drive in order to verify that you own the game, so it would not be possible to have the game running on two consoles with 1 disc.

Well that sucks. I get the whole if they let you play without the disc you could just install it and sell it while continuing to play it. There should be a feature where it can sense that someone is using a physical copy, otherwise it's pointless buying
physical copies.

You can only share on your Home console and you can only have 1 console set as your Home at a time. So if everyone is going to be switching between both consoles, it would be best to have a second subscription. Otherwise, you'd want to set the most used console as your Home so everyone else can use that one. You can still sign in and use everything on any console because it's tied to your account.

Hi. My name is Brilliant and I am happy to assist you today.

If you want to play the games on both consoles at the same time you would have to have second account to do so. Regarding your game library you would need to set one of the consoles as a home console for your main account.

For more details on the above, you can kindly visit the following thread: https://answers.microsoft.com/threa...u want to play,console for your main account.

I hope this helps resolve your query.

The gameshare feature is meant for households with more than one console,not for sharing with your mates unless they live in the same house.

In any case,you can only share between two consoles.
