    Why can’t I share games with other accounts I own?


    I currently have an Xbox series X in my office I also have three other series S Xbox’s in other rooms of my house. My son has a Microsoft account I have a Microsoft account why do I have to buy games apps and movies twice. Is there a workaround for this we both have separate Xbox live accounts that I pay for this seems crazy.

    :)

    No console works like you suggest as Lucas mentiined all consoles only allow 2 consoles one for home and one that the owner can use for roaming but needs to be signed in online to use

    Keep in mind all consoles have a limjt

    Most have 2-3 switches per year Xbox is generous at 5

    We could always go back to 1995 and one console period

    Hello, Pete. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

    You can share subscriptions and games with as many family members as you want, as long as it is only on one console - since it needs to be set as your account home Xbox.

    For more information, please refer to:

    Feel free to ask back any questions.
