How To Gameshare on Xbox : Xbox Game Share Play at Same Time<\/span><\/h1>\n

Making a console your home Xbox gives friends and family access to your games and content when you’re not signed in. Your home Xbox also lets you play your digital games offline.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Things to keep in mind:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • When you add a new account to a console and don’t set it to\u00a0Lock it down<\/strong>\u00a0during setup, we’ll automatically make that console your home Xbox.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • You can only have one home Xbox at a time. If you sign in to multiple consoles, we recommend you choose your most frequently used console as your home Xbox.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If you’ve upgraded from Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S, make sure to designate your new console as your home Xbox.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • We’ll never change your home Xbox, but make sure to assign it again if you reset your console and remove everything.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How game sharing works<\/span><\/h2>\n

    When you first install a digital game on your home Xbox, your console retrieves a licence from the Xbox network to play it. The digital game licence is tied to your home Xbox and never expires unless you change your home Xbox. This gives you access to your digital games whether you’re online or offline.<\/p>\n

    Friends and family that sign in to your home Xbox have access too, even when you’re not signed in. For instance, a family member can play your games when you’re not using your console\u2014they just need to sign in with their Xbox profile.<\/p>\n

    Important You can download, play, and share your digital games on any Xbox console without having to switch your home Xbox. This is handy if you have a second console or play on a friend’s console. Everyone can enjoy your games if the console is online and everyone is signed in to the Xbox network.<\/p>\n

    What you can share <\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n
    Share these with anyone who signs in to your home Xbox:<\/span><\/p>\n
      \n
    • Games and downloadable content from the Microsoft Store<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Games from an Xbox Game Pass subscription<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \n
      Account-specific items can’t always be shared. Some examples are:<\/span><\/p>\n
        \n
      • Game-specific content like Minecraft Skin Mashups or Halo REQ Packs purchased with in-game currencies<\/span><\/li>\n
      • In-game currency such as Minecraft Coins<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Certain pre-order bonuses and special edition content that can only be redeemed once<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Switching your home Xbox<\/span><\/h2>\n
        \n
        \n
        If you want to make a different console your home Xbox:<\/span><\/p>\n
          \n
        1. Press the\u00a0Xbox<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0\ue3e3<\/span>\u00a0on your controller to open the guide.<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Select\u00a0Profile & system<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0General<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0Personalisation<\/strong>, and then select\u00a0My home Xbox<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Do either of the following to change the status of your console:<\/span>\n
            \n
          • To make this your home Xbox, select\u00a0Make this my home Xbox<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n
          • To remove this console as your home Xbox, select\u00a0Make this my home Xbox<\/strong>\u00a0and then\u00a0Remove this as my home Xbox<\/strong>.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
            \n
            When you switch your home Xbox, your shared licences will no longer be available to others playing on your old home console. You’ll need to be signed in online to your old Xbox console to allow them to play your games and apps (when you’re not on your new home console). Your ability to play games while offline will also shift to your new home console. Redownloading or launching any games on the new home console will register the licence to that console allowing for offline use.<\/span><\/div>\n
            <\/div>\n
            You can switch your home Xbox up to five times in any one-year period. If you reach your limit for the year, we’ll show you the next available date you can change it.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

            Playing games offline on your home Xbox<\/span><\/h2>\n

            In the event of a network or service outage, or if you’re in a place where you can’t connect to the Xbox network, you can still play downloaded games on your home Xbox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
