Home Xbox Explained - Xbox Update 2022 

This scenario with the 10 year old was really confusing 🤯💣

Scenarios were very confusing. Home Xbox means anyone can play all your games on it/game pass/ gold. You can still sign into a second Xbox and also play all your game on it/game pass/ gold. You basically get 2 game pass ultimate memberships for you and a sibling/friend for the price of one. Buy one copy of a game and you can both play online This isn’t shady or “unofficial”at all. That’s how it’s supposed to work. That way families don’t have to buy multiple copies of games to play together. You only have to buy one game or one Xbox game pass

Welcome back my friend i miss you man

Hey I made my Xbox a home Xbox and I'm trying to play with my friend and it's trying to make them pay for the Xbox game pass how do you fix it

I do this with my daughter. One other important thing to remember that I don't think you mentioned is that I think your purchasing info can be used by the one who is on your home Xbox. MS credit or if you have a card attached may be able to be used by the friend. I haven't seen this on mine but something else to keep in mind.

I had two consoles set up on game pass and we recently replace the home Xbox with a New Series S. For some reason we can no longer play a game at the same time even though we are trying to play a different game on each console. It asks if we want to log the other person/console out. Appreciate any insight.

For some odd reason my home Xbox keeps kicking off my account everytime I go offline and I don't know why it does that

So if i want to game start game sharing with my wife I have to my her xbox my home xbox. We both like playing call of duty together we just don't want to buy the gam twice.

After updating most of my games end up crashing when trying to connect to online servers while playing 90% of my games

So I am an Ultimate Member and made the Series S in the bedroom my homeconsole. But my girlfriend and I cannot play together, because it says that I can play on only one console at a time. Is it possible to play together simultainously?

I have two Xbox consoles in different cities. So when I travel … I can play GTA5 online. I completed the link, and everything updated. About a week later, my same login on one Xbox has 11M dollars and rank 177 while the other has 2M dollars and rank 172. I am thinking this one week of play difference could be both Xbox are set as home. I will troubleshoot it this week.

Many thanks for the tips ^^ 🌟☀️✨👍❤️💚

So upstairs we have have xbox series x and downstairs x box 1. Yesterday fifa 24 was downloaded onto the series x in the hope it would be playable downstairs on the x box 1 but no luck. The series x was set to home x box last year but may have been switched back. Weve just set the series x to home x box. Any idea if we can still get fifa downstairs on the x box one

Wait so how many consoles can you game share with because me my brother and dad like playing cod and we don't wanna buy mw2 twice lol

Can that be done using an additional console? 1 having the ultimate game pass and the other 2 consoles (friends or family) where you want to share? Or does it only work with 2 consoles... thanks in advance.

My Brother and I home share. I have the Series X and he recently switched from the Xbox One to the Series S. We have home sharing set up but it doesn’t allow him to use the Live from my GamePass. Hoping for some guidance on this. Thanks!

My game share isn’t working anymore it still lets me download full games since my buddy buys them but won’t let me play the games anymore

Hi! My husband has the game pass and we want to share. I went onto his Xbox, logged into my profile, then checked make this my home Xbox on his system. I returned to my console and it seems like it didn’t work. What did I do wrong?

Hello! Nice to see a newer video on this topic. I bought my brothers old Xbox One yesterday. The only problem is that it has some games only on his account/not on discs. And those games are really good like RDR2 and CODs, so I'd like to play them too. He naturally has lesser or more progress in those games and I want to start them from scratch and earn the achiements with my own account. Am I able to play the games on my own account if I log in with it while the Xbox One is my brother's home console? He has a PS5 now so he isn't playing on Xboxes at all

Why did you need to switch your home xbox? Because the point is to let one xbox share with other xbox. So just leave them be the same account for both xbox right?

So is there a way I can get my home xbox on my console? Or am I stuck waiting for a year ? To play my game 🎮 I removed 2 maybe 3 accounts but my own..

They made it impossible to sign in another account it goes straight into new account creation.

what’s do you have to do when the switches aren’t working for your own xbox

Update, I can't share live gold anymore but I can share game pass for me to play online I have to open the account that has ultimate and switch to my account to play even if it's set as home Xbox. Anyone relates?

Why I got 1 swich in my first day of xbox instead of 3

Hi, I’m wondering about the Xbox ultimate game pass perks and the reason I’m here is because it won’t let me claim any of the perks

Does anyone know how this works with gamepass mobile? Meaning if I set up my home Xbox on another console, can I still log in to my current one for mobile gaming?

Hi ! Thanks for the information❤! Question: I dont share my console games or info with anyone, it is always been my home xbox, I only have this 1 xbox. But it says I have 4 out of 5 switches left. I dont understand. I had to reset my console because it got stuck on green screen again. I'm using xbox one s. Thank you for any info and help. I'm so confused.

Hi im playing rainbow six siege and it wants me to buy game pass but i share it with my brother and i dont want to buy another game pass

Thank you sir

Me and my brother have an xbox each and my brothers was the home xbox and I switched it from his to mine and now my games work but his aren’t

so my main xbox is ticked as my home xbox but it does not act as my home xbox, and i have another xbox downstairs and that xbox acts as my home xbox whilst the box is not ticked.

I just switched my Xbox to the home Xbox but it still requires me to sign into a different account on the xbox

Good u answered my question it takes a year for the chances to reset thank u so much u get a like from me and sub

I put the game pass on my son’s account and not mine. How does it appear on my account?

If my friend has my Xbox as there home and then I use another friends home Xbox as mine does that effect him ?

Just saved $50 thank you man

Can you still play the games without making it home?

this shouldnt have been so confusing...My son wants to use my login and games...which box needs to be the home. Mine or his?? simple enough scenario.

I do the game share quite a bit, but for some reason it keeps switching back like I’ll make my friends xbox my home Xbox then after a week I don’t have access to his games anymore

If you're game sharing add on does it still work if you remove the game sharing account?

So my friend made me his home Xbox and I mad him my home Xbox but I says we cannot be playing the same game how do I fix this?

How to tell when you first switched

The game pass account with my downloaded expired. Now I have a different account with gamepass gold for 12 months. I just realized that I can't play my downloaded games on the previous account with the ultimate. Is there a way around this?

Ok so I’m trying to game share my brother but I have so much accounts on my xbox,how do I specifically game share without using Microsoft family?

Ok so I did this for my fiance's Xbox and it's saying on hers she has to purchase the games instead of them being free

What if i have bought a game on an account and use the same account on different Xbox one consoles, the play on other consoles offline and one online can it work?😊

If i used my last change and then i remove it its going to get me 1 switch back?

If I add my brother account and make him my home Xbox will he have access to all the games I purchased or will I only have access to his games ? Ran out of switches upgrading consoles smh

I’m doing this with my brother but his games isn’t showing up on mine and I have his account my home system and he has mine his but my games are showing for him but his aren’t showing for me any suggestions?

my brother has an xbox and i do to , i have his account on my xbox & vice versa , do i go on his account and make it home xbox on my xbox or do i make it home xbox on his xbox and then i can still play his games ?

So I can’t switch profiles with the person I’m GameSharing with, like their account the home Xbox and mine not I can’t play on their and they can’t on mine unless they own the game so basically the opposite

How do I give my son my game pass and games? On his Xbox I give home Xbox?

I’m so confused, so say account 1 has Xbox live and account 2 doesn’t. What do I have to do for account 2 to get Xbox live as well? I understand you have to make account 1 the home Xbox but how?

so if my brothers xbox is the home xbox and are stuff ran out and i have his account on my xbox can i renew it

if i gift my friend a game while his account is my home xbox,can i still play the game i gifted him

So if I want to switch it back to my acc do i mark my home xbox as mines ?

I made my old Xbox my home acount and my dad was trying to play fifa and he couldn't connect to internet and said it had to sign im

how do I keep this setting on permanently for every account that I make

What information does my friend get if I game share with him?? Like if he makes my Xbox the home Xbox on his end

I have 5 switches but I can’t put my friends acc on my Xbox because it said “too menu people have made this their home Xbox to make this your home xbox have someone else sign in and remove it as their home Xbox but who’s acc my one or my friends

Thanks

I did this with my friend and the game that I wanted (MW2) did not show up in the full library, but his other games did. Also, he owns it but it does not say that it is in his full library either. Is there any way I could get some help?

(my brother and i) ok so if i have the games and the gold , then i would sign into his account on my xbox and change his settings on his account to “make this my home xbox”?

Whenever I activate this as my home console I cannot access my Xbox 360 online Does anybody have any answers

I’ve only ever had my account on the Xbox I’m on but it says I have 0 out of 5 switches and I’ve never switched how do I fix that?

My friends console is set to my home Xbox on my console but every time i try to play online multiplayer it says I need to buy a gold plan even tho my friend has gold and everything. How do I resolve that issue?

So can people play the same game shared game together?

Does this work with only digital Bought games or can he play my games that I have gotten physically

How does it take for them to give you more switches

If anyone could help me it would be great. My series X😡😡😡😡 decided to brick and I was permanently offline since it wasn’t connected to the internet and no wireless options appeared. Reset it and it works fine…. Scenario: account A with gold and all games were on that console. It asked me if I wanted to make this my home Xbox and I said yes Xbox one s: doesn’t allow me to play any games or use gold with account B I switched accounts back and forth and both have about 1 left. I need to get this right…which console needs to have “this is my home Xbox” It’s soo freaking confusing how they explain this. Please someone explain with the main purpose of the setting..the two console, two account scenario. Series x/good account: Xbox one/secondary account: Which one needs “home xbox” tab ✅ Series x or Xbox one? If the good account needs to be activated in the secondary console. Please say so as well. Xbox one/good account: I just reference xbox one/ secondary account as to say that the xbox is going to be used mainly for a second account.

Does game sharing reset system settings and any saved data. If that makes sense

so i’m trying to find a way to just pay for one subscription rather than two. both me and my sister have our own consoles, same household and both have ultimate game pass. i just canceled my sister’s subscription, hoping it actually works. but i made my account her home xbox and then her account my home xbox. since i canceled her subscription while i still have mine will she still be able to play xbox after the subscription expires since my account is now her home xbox? (urgent need)

@aka Scratch, I did everything that was stated in this video and every other video. I have a series X. My wife has a one S. I downloaded my profile onto my wife’s xbox. Made her console “my home xbox.” I then signed out. I went back to my xbox and simply just downloaded my profile. Her and I both tried to play borderlands. Because her xbox is “my home xbox” that should give her gold property from my account, right?? But every time her and I try to play it tells her that she needs gold… am I missing by something??

So if i set my Xbox at my home as my home Xbox. It will cancel the gamesharing?

idk if it just me but each time my dad buy a game on his account the add-on or dlc in the game dont transfer to my account I cant even use cloud I have tried putting my home xbox as my home xbox again but it still happens anyone know how to fix it??

I have 3 Xbox the first 2 broke so I have my account on them I only use my third Xbox but idk how to get my other 2 Xbox off it if that makes sense

when u have done 5 times a year if u go on xbox assist u can do a survey to get 1 more but it doesnt appear on series s only xbox one, how do i get 1 extra on series s?

Yes share my gold with one of my closest friend I known and trust for years I share my gold with him it’s because he does not have gold so I share my gold with thin. So we Can share games/party together while I pay for gameoss ultimate every 3 months

Okay so if I am going between two houses, but don’t want to keep transporting my Xbox to and from how could I set this up? There is an Xbox at both locations. Thanks in advance!

this mic ass but preciate the info

2001 xbox updates? Huh

Anyone out there that has this”glitch“ where they have game shared with multiple people in the past and now have access to all their downloadable games and Xbox live from the previous accounts game shared? I’m so confused and thankful but I have games from 2 different accounts that I have not purchased but belongs to the gameshared accounts. It’s even under the owned games tab for me and I asked one of them if they bought a certain game and they said yes and I was able to download that same exact game with out sharing and it worked. It looks like the last 2 accounts I made my home Xbox to my account stayed and is still currently giving me access to whatever they buy. (Currently not game sharing with anyone ) Am I the only one?

GT: Big Sosa x

We can't both be signed in. I bought my fiance her own console and she can play as long as my account is signed into her Xbox but I cant sign in on mine or it keeps her out and says she's required to purchase the games that were on my console. I did everything right but can't play together

200 🦾
