    When Buy a used Xbox One with previous owners DL games on it....Can I make an account and ...


    Hey Everyone! New here so take it easy on me. question...If i buy someones used Xbox One that has downloaded games on it. Will I be able to play them when I make my own account??? Any input would be helpful. Don't want to buy it if I cant play the DL'd
    games on it considering they are the only reason i want this pearson's Xbox One. I have heard that as long as I keep their profile on the system then it should be fine. Want to make sure I can play the games on live no problem with my own account. Hope this
    makes sense.

    Cheers

    :)

    Problem with xbox one games please help

    The games are tied to the original owners Xbox live account. I am sorry but you will probably need to buy the games on your Xbox live account or buy the physical disks of the games. There isn't much you can do as the games were bought on the previous owners
    Xbox live account. Ah the joys of digital games.

    Remove from Xbox preview program

    And as I said they will do that when they don't have any other answers. That is one of the problems with buy used consoles. The previous owners decisions sometimes stay with the console.

    You can play them as long s it remains the person who bought the games "Home" console. If that person buys another Xbox One, you would lose those games.

    Peace, J.R.

    Random ac unity download?

    Yes, if you bought the Xbox used, then that means the previous owner set the console as their "Home" console, and when sold it, did not remove this designation. The previous owner at some point must have re-bought an Xbox One, so now whenever they purchase
    a title on their account, their old Xbox still thinks that that owner owns it, so you essentially get whatever game they buy for free. Good deal on your end :p.

    Let me further elaborate on what Warrior Njal already said.

    Your friend bought a used Xbox One. The previous owner probably has set the console as his "Home Console", which enables the console to share the previous owners games and Gold membership with anyone playing on that console.

    If the previous owner sets a different console as their home console, or if the previous owner stops his Xbox Live subscription, your friend will stop being able to play online multiplayer, and the games he bought "preloaded" on the console will also stop
    working.

    So please make your friend aware, that if your friend payed extra money for digital download games on that used console, that he demands a refund for these games, as the previous owner can "disable" the download games any time.

    Games your friend bought on disc from the previous owner, are safe, as well as games your friend bought on his own account.

    it may also still be set up as the previous owners Home Xbox. If your friend bought it with access to digital downloaded games, the shock will come once the owner makes their new Xbox as the home one. Digital games can not be transfered to a new owner.
