    Xbox home switching on replacement console


    Hi, I just had my Xbox Series X replaced under warranty and need to set the replacement console as home Xbox under my friend’s account, but it says I’ve already done it 5 times. Given that the console that was replaced was previously set to home Xbox under
    my friend’s account, can I please get an extra switch to perform this on the new console?

    :)

    Xbox home switching on replacement console

    the home xbox setting is for just that, the home not to go sharing with other people, it is so you can set the main console as the home one for family in the same house to use the content and so you can use the content offline and in case you have to replace
    or buy a new console.

    5 switches for the purpose it was built for is enough, you would have to wait until switches free up, usually a year after. support will not provide another.

    Please try again

    Hi again!

    If you were game sharing on a different console and you set the Home console to your Xbox One then this will replace your Home Console from the other console and set it up to your Xbox One. Keep in mind that you can only have 1 Home console at a time so
    if you ever make the switch to one Xbox then it will remove it from the other.

    I hope this helps.

    home console switches

    Hi Alam,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your issue with home console switches. You can look at the guide for
    home console, it explains how you may qualify for one last switch.

    Note Customer support cannot offer additional switches. If your console shows you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select
    Helpwhen you see the message,
    Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception.


    Thanks,

    Brad

    Too many people abused the system when support could provide more changes.

    Xbox Game Sharing Online Gameplay Issues

    it is for home use only so your main console can be used by other family memebers living with you and so you can play your games if your net goes out.

    your can log in anywhere else with your account and still use your games and features.

    It is not meant to be used to gameshare with other people outside of the home.

    The reason you get 5 switches which is ample, is that if your xbox breaks and is replaced you can then make that your home console or if you upgrade or replace your xbox.
