    Why wont my xbox games show up in the app on mobile ios and windows.


    I recently signed into the Xbox app on mobile and windows only to see the only game I have is candy crush. I have tried syncing my console which has all my games to the app and it tells me to still buy the game and not showing up as owned in my games/library. Could this be because my brothers accounts on the Xbox bought the games. But does this not mean i don't own them on my account. I was wondering why the games wont show up. Also on the "hop back in tab" it shows me the games I have recently played however when I click them it tells me to buy them. Hope I can get this working as soon as possible.

    :)

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues playing via Xbox App.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    If the games were purchased on your brother’s account, the licenses are tied to his Microsoft account. Which means he owned the games digitally, and they’ll only appear in his library. The game licenses are saved directly on his account too.

    On your account, you’d need to purchase those games separately to own them fully. And for the games to be accessible via Xbox App, the ownership of the game snould be under your account.

    Your brother’s games likely appear on the console under your account due to Home Xbox sharing because Xbox allows one console to be set as the Home Xbox, that enables anyone on that console to play games installed by the account owner.

    However, Home Xbox sharing doesn’t sync licenses to the Xbox app or let you play those games on other consoles/PC not unless you are the one using the original owner’s account.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Xbox Screenshots and Record Captures

    Only the Xbox Live one’s show up for both (Windows and iOS Apps). Not the ones I took and saved to my system.
