  • A short walk through on how to set up the game sharing feature with the Xbox One
    If you have questions you need to make sure I can reply to your comment to help you.
    1. This only works between your console and one other console.
    2. If you want to stop game sharing set your own console as home and change your password. If you can't do this call MS support and they can remove the other console as your home console.
    3. This can work with anyone, not just people in the same house.
    4. If someone is scamming tag me in a comment below with the person's name on here so I can block them.
    5. I am not responsible for you getting scammed by someone else, if it happens the best thing to do is to contact MS support and let them know someone scammed you for your account.
    6. This should take the person 15 seconds total, if it takes longer they're probably doing something wrong or are trying to change your account settings.
    7. I check messages at least once a month, if you have a question I will get to it eventually.

    This is a pretty cool feature - my brother and I use it even though we live 5 hours apart.
    I've also heard a lot of people who have bought used Xbox's finding that they will randomly have a game start downloading from the past owner who didn't properly reset their Home Xbox haha.

    Do they have to be on the same network in the house or can my buddy sign in under my credentials at his place and I do the same (Vise versa) at my house? After this is done we can play online at the same time with only one copy of the game being bought?

    If you have already made your home Xbox on your main account .... can you still get games from other friends accounts? Like when you want to get gold or games from friends accounts do you have to switch back to not home Xbox and then switch to make it home Xbox again? Or do you just leave it as home Xbox and can you still get games from other friends? Please answer someone

    So since you can only make your xbox their account's home Xbox three times, do you need to do that each time you wanna download a game from their library? Or after you do it once, never have to do it again?

      +Daenerys Targaryen Sorry for the extremely late reply, haven't been on to look at these lately. You only need to do it the first time, once you've done that so long as it stays your home console you'll always have access to every game they purchase digitally.

      +Bradley Duvall It depends... if you're planning to long term share then you should leave it, if not then you can just change it back as your home console.

Does he have to remove the home Xbox designation from his friend before moving his account over or should we be able to just switch it no problem?

    • @lucifersgaming1243
      @lucifersgaming1243  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      He may already be out of his 3 for the year. If this is the case he can just call/chat Xbox support and just make up an excuse like someone else managed to get access to your account and you need to switch it to a new home console, they should reset the limit.

    @mikeO31082 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    just curious how this would work? if I set up my gamertag on my brother's Xbox, will setting his Xbox as my home Xbox, affect my own Xbox system? also if I install say Halo 5 on his system can I still play it, even though there is only 1 physical copy of the game? I was under the impression that the game disk needed to be in the system in order to play any physical disk based game.

    • @XIXmaggot
      @XIXmaggot 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +mikeO31082 1. No, it won't affect your system in any way.
      2. You can share games off the disc too but they cannot play it unless they have the disc, so that's pretty much pointless to even try. Only works with digital games.
