    Xbox Series X Game Share Not Working


    I recently purchased an Xbox Series X, I game share with a friend and assumed we had to do all the Home Xbox stuff again.
    I added his account and made my Series X his Home Xbox and he added my account and made his Xbox my Home Xbox.

    However, he has access to both of our libraries whereas I only have access to just my library and we have no clue as to why this is.
    He then removed my account and tried again and still Game Sharing isn't working.

    Unsure if its a bug/issue with the Series X or not but another friend of mine got an Series X and hasn't had issues with Game Sharing with his brother.

    I'd appreciate some help with this, I'll be visiting my friend soon who I'm Game Sharing with to see if it was done correctly or not.

    :)

    Xbox one controller

    The Xbox Series X controllers will work on Xbox One consoles, and the Xbox One controllers (including the Elite/Elite V2) will work on Xbox Series X too.

    This is a link to an external site which
    confirms the backwards and forwards compatibility for controllers.

    Xbox Series X multiplayer with Xbox one

    Hello there,

    every Xbox 360 and or Xbox one game you can play via backwards compatibility on your series X/S share the same multiplayer network, so yes you can play those games with your friends across different generations of Xbox. However for future games releasing
    on Xbox one and series X/S separately, I can't confirm that it will work a 100%.

    If I purchase an Xbox Series X physical disc game (say, "Star Wars Jedi: Survivor"), will it work on my Xbox One S?

    If the game just says Xbox Series X on the Game cover, then no, it will not work on the Xbox One. If, it says Xbox Series X & Xbox One on the cover, then it will work.

    Xbox Series X Game Share Not Working

    Tomorrow you can update me for sure! :)

    Until now (literally, like 10 minutes ago) I'm still attending users having trouble with game sharing. Even with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription.

    So you're not alone. It's indeed a bug/server issue with Xbox on game sharing.

    Xbox Series X Game Share Not Working

    A few hours later and still the problem persists, I'll update in the morning if the issue remains. Just kind of a bummer for this to happen the day after I get the new console so I thought I either got a faulty xbox or they changed how they did game sharing.
