  1. Unable to play Xbox Store purchase on separate account but SAME CONSOLE


    Since the new Xbox OS update I am unable to play Xbox Games purchased under a different account on the same console. My friend and I share an Xbox. We frequently play together but also occasionally separately. We could purchase titles from the Xbox store
    and each play them from our respective accounts. It appears that functionality has now been removed. This effectively means that if my friend and I wish to play a game on both accounts we have to purchase them on disc and not from the store as usual. As such,
    I am extremely disappointed by this new update.

    :)

  2. Single Console, Family Gold account and shared games?

    QUESTION:

    My brother and I currently have separate Xbox Live accounts connected to a local Xbox 360 console. If we decide to transition our Xbox Live accounts to the Xbox One, will only one of our accounts be allowed to play games that we purchase or will we both
    be able to play games as long as they are on the same console? I cannot afford to buy two copies of the same game just to play on our unique accounts on the same console.

  3. Xbox live family ???

    If I have 3 xbox ones in my home, can each of us play through the same xbox live subscription family account? or do we each need a separate subscription to play on separate consoles?

    Have you set the console to your "home" console? I have online games which I have purchased and my son can play them on his gamertag. He's playing BlackOpps 3 which I purchased right now.

    game sharing issue

    You have to install minecraft on both xbox accounts, both separately purchased in order to play at the same time.

    If I buy a second disc of the same game, can both my kids play on separate consoles, that previously just the original disc was used on?

    We have an Xbox One and an Xbox X, both our kids want to play Red Dead at the same time, one on each console. Right now they take turns moving the disc mack and forth. If we buy a second disc, or purchase a digital version, will they both be able to play at the same time on each separate Xbox?
    Yes as long as they are both signed into separate accounts
