Two Xbox ones, one home. Spotty service.

BlakelyKuzela · Sep 12, 2019

I understand the "my home Xbox" concept. I also understand the need for it. But why the offline issue? I own two Xbox one game systems. One for my living room, one for my bedroom. I often have bad internet service living in a mountainous area so i mostly
have to play my games offline. However, I'm only able to play games on disc when offline. I paid premium digital price for most of my games instead of buying them at 20 percent of retail price at pawn shops. It feels like I'm being penalized for buying digital
copies. Do i really have to move my consoles around my house to play my games on my boxes?? This is not an issue when I'm able to connect to internet. But i am not willing to buy these games twice. I'm also not content with moving my "home Xbox" into whatever
room i feel like playing in at any given time. This is kind of a make or break issue for me. Do i have any other options?

Unfortunately at this time, that is the only option. In order for the console to verify you have a licence for a digital game, it has to connect to the internet. The Home setting bypasses that by having a license on that console.

Xbox services are currently being spotty and they are working on stablizing themn. I am glad you were able to fix the problem and provide the answer for others!

Whichever console you setup as the home Xbox, that will be the console you can share your games and subscriptions on, that includes Gold, Xbox Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate and EA Access.

You will not be able to sign into the same account on both consoles at the same time, as when you sign in one, it will automatically sign out on the other console.

As long as you make the second console your home Xbox. I do the same for my wife. It makes it easier financially than paying for two Ultimate Game Pass or another gold.

When a profile has a subscription like EA Access, Xbox Live Gold or GamePass Ultimate, they share their subscriptions and digital games with every other profile on the console they’ve set as their “Home Consle”. That profile will still have access to those
games and subscriptions on any other console, but the profiles on any second console will not have access to the same shared games and subscriptions as they do on the home console, UNLESS the profile with the games and subscriptions is signed in. I hope that
helps! Here’s a link to a bit more info on your Home Console settings : https://support.xbox.com/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox
