Re: The Xbox One Thread

I have just worked out how to share digital games as there is 2 xboxones in my house, mine and my sons, so instead of buying two copies of a game disc i can now download a game and share it with my son, so we can both play online at same time.

You can share downloaded games with one other person.

No wonder digital games are more expensive.
Think this will now save me a small fortune

Two users, two consoles

So a single console with multiple users is pretty straightforward. But with multiple consoles, things get a bit more hairy.

For starters, you need to deal with an Xbox One feature called "home Xbox," where each user that is signed in to an Xbox One must have one console that is configured as their home Xbox. (If you only have one Xbox One, then that will be the home Xbox for all configured users.) When you configure a console as your home Xbox, any user that signs in to that Xbox One can play any of your downloaded games without having to first sign in as you.

Read that one again, because it's important: When you configure a console as your home Xbox, any user that signs in to that Xbox One can play any of your downloaded games without having to first sign in as you.

That means that the converse is also true: On a non-home Xbox One, users will need to sign-in as you before they can play any of your downloaded games.
