    Hi,

    I have an adult profile in my Xbox 360 console, and my son has a child profile. When I purchase games through Xbox Live, the game instantly becomes available for all profiles in my console. (I use this to purchase games online for my son).

    Now, I recently purchased a game add-on with the same reasoning, but the add-on does not show up for my son's profile. Wasn't it suppose to work just as the purchased games, I mean, becoming available for all profiles?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Magic 2013 Expansion not available to other users

    Game or add-on you are having issues with: Magic 2013 Expansion

    Date you bought the content: Sept 28

    Purchased with points or credit card: Points

    Specific issue you are having: My brother bought the Magic 2013 Expansion, which should have unlocked it for play with my profile as well. However, it is only available to play with his profile; my profile does not register the purchase of the expansion. This
    is contrary to the information given when purchasing the expansion. Namely, "Access to this item will also be granted to all users on this first console."

    Any error code or message you are receiving: N/A

  3. Just Dance Unlimited per profile instead of per console?

    When I purchase a game I expect my entire family to be able to use it. When I purchase a subscription, I expect my entire family to be able to use it as well. I have 4 people in my household that play Just Dance 2016 and I purchased the Gold version specifically
    for the 3 months of Just Dance Unlimited. I loaded it to the profile that was currently logged in so we could try it out and play and now I've discovered that it's not available on any of the other profiles. That's disappointing. It's a little ridiculous to
    make a family that all use the same console have to pay for more than one add-on for the games they all play.

    It depends on the add on and the game. For instance, usually maps will work for all players. Which add on for which game did you purchase?

    Unable to access cars from Forza 4 Add-On's

    Quite right. Downloading a car pack does not add cars to your garage, they mearly become available for purchase.

    Forza Horizon 4- Ultimate Edition Add-On Bundle

    With any game on game pass you can buy any add-ons for the game you want. So if the bundle becomes available, you can purchase it. I haven't seen if it will be released as an actual bundle or if you would need to purchase all of the parts separately, but
    they will most likely be available for purchase the day of release.
