Would reseting my Xbox Series S remove game sharing?

Hi,

after a soft factory reset (without deleting the games) you have to download your profile anew. While doing so you will be asked if you want to keep your old settings.

But that is only for your main account with the sub.

You will have to download the other profiles too and chech manually if the settings are like you want them to be. But if I remember it right they should be the same like before.

No, resetting your Xbox doesn't remove the Home Xbox feature. Just make sure to add again the account you used to enable this setting.

Below, I'm going to share other similar threads where you can review other users confirming the same.

You can only share on 1 console at a time. So they would still be able to use your games/subscription on the One if you leave it as your Home and you can sign in and use them on the Series S, but they wouldn't be able to use them on the S unless you're signed in or set it as your Home (which would remove the sharing from the One).

Hi, I have reset my account and would like my Xbox series S as my home console

I have this exact issue. His is my setup:

My son has a One S

I have a Series X

I was able to set the One S as my home xbox

I added his account to the Series X. Went to setting and then to my home xbox. At first, it is checked, then I get the circle, and the check mark is removed. Click on make this my home xbox on the Series X using his account, the circle spins, and then back to the "unchecked" box.

Checking his (One S), my account still has that xbox as my home xbox.

Reset networking, reset MAC address, flushed ARP cache on my switch and router, restarted all of those devices, and reset the Series X (both hard power cycle and factory reset). No luck.

Is it due to his account technically being a Xbox One profile and mine a Series X?

Also, my son's account is a child account but, unrestricted.
