    Xbox game sharing with multiple accounts


    Hello. My friend has an account on Xbox and I am game sharing off him. For a while it was going well until he started game sharing with another friend of ours and it was annoying. We decided that if friend A added a new account to his xbox, we could game
    share off both accounts. That didn't work and now I am wondering is there a way to have Friend A's Xbox have 2 accounts that friend B and I can gameshare off of. Friend B is game sharing off of the original account and I am trying to game share off Friend
    A's alternate account. Is there a solution to this. Please respond asap thanks!

    :)

  2. Xbox limits per household

    Hi, you can share with multiple accounts on one xbox. But game sharing and live ect is restricted to one other console in the house.

    Free Digital Destiny upgrade

    I have multiple family members with there own xbox live accounts sharing a xb360 and a xb1. I'd like to know if other accounts logging into either of the consoles after the upgrade will have access to the game.

    Anyone with both consoles try this yet?

    Xbox game sharing with multiple accounts

    There is no way you would be able to share between 3 houses. You can only share games on the console that is set as your Home console and you can only have one console set as your Home console at a time. It's recommended that you make your own console your
    Home console so people can share when they are at your house.

    The home console feature is meant for households with more than on console,not for sharing with your friends.

    Technically you can receive enforcement action for sharing with your friends.

    Ok so update I have got a family member we will call Family A that has the game I was looking for. The problem is when we do the home xbox thing it is still asking me for the person who has bought the game to be signed in, although I have removed friend
    A's account from my Xbox and family A is not gamesharing with anyone at all and has never before. Any help?

    your xbox has to be set to Family A's "home" console. That means Family A's profile needs to be downloaded onto your xbox. He doesn't have to be signed in after this is done the first time.

    You're right about the first part, but technically you aren't violating anything because there isn't a stated restriction on which console people are allowed to designate as their "Home" Xbox. Nor is there any tangible way for Microsoft to enforce it even
    if it was a violation.

  10. Game sharing doesn’t require accessing someone else’s account at all and the Home Xbox setting isn’t restricted by location. Again, technically speaking, it doesn’t violate anything.

    Pretty sure one would need to be on the account to set an Xbox as the home Xbox. It’s a shady situation all around. Trust people as far as you can throw them.
