  1. Xbox Game Sharing Not Working, can not play shared games please help.


    i have contacted Xbox phone support a number of times but I’m getting nowhere with them so I’m reaching out to the xbox forum to hope to get this matter resolved and fixed once and for all. I set the digital game sharing up with my brother a good 2 months
    ago and everything has been working fine with no problems, then just last week it just stopped working for my user account, my brother can still access my shared games but i can’t access his, the error message i get when i click on any of his games that i
    note has already been shared, installed, played & working fine, thus game starts up for 1 sec then says i do not own this game and i would need to inserted the disc or buy again from the xbox. So i have called thru to xbox support and have done everything
    they asked they had reset my account and my brothers account on xboxes end to make sure it didn’t have anything to do with the only can be done 3 times in one year rule which i have only ever shared with x1 other person & my brother which i informed them but
    they went ahead and reset it for both our accounts anyway, we where then told to remove our accounts from each others xboxes and re-add them again making them each set up as the home xbox again, same problem my bother can access my shared games but i can’t
    share / play his games, we then tried all of the above again with xbox phone support and same problem keeps happening we where told its a xbox problem and it would take 24 - 48hrs to fix & have email confirmation of that its been over a week and nothing has
    been fixed, i have called thru to xbox phone support again and again to find out how to fix the problem and keep getting told they can’t help as they are just a billing department with limited ways they can help, they asked me to reply back to the email and
    i did a number of times and have not got a reply its been over a week, Can someone please pass this matter onto a xbox staff member that can help as my account will not allow me to access games on my brothers game share...

    Hi KingCarter784,

    and sorry to hear. First off all, the home sharing only works with 1 console - this should be the console on which you normaly not Play. In your case "The owner of Madden 20 can choose a single console as home console. On this console you can play".

    Please read
    "About sharing"


    Hope this helps and please keep us informed

    2 xbox one consoles in the same home connected to the same account

    https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-one/xbox-live/xbox-live-gold-sharing-features

    That link should help you.

    As others have mentioned, the home sharing will help with digital games/xbox live gold. Game progress will be stored in the cloud, so they can keep their game progress regardless of which console they play on.

    With game sharing they can also be playing the same game at the same time.

    Game sharing issues

    Hi Kash,

    Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have a question on
    game sharing
    . Sounds like you both are signing in on the same profile. This will not work. With game sharing they can log into their own account. It works as I game share with kids and we play the same games all the time together.

    Thanks,

    Brad

    Any problems owning both disc and digital version of game on same account?

    Your right you can't game share with disc.

    You can game share with digital games and you can also share Xbox live.

    You can have both profiles on both xbox's however if you want to play a two player game with your son you will need to use your own profiles.

    Hope that helps :)
