How do you Game Share on Xbox? It's a question we hear all the time, and for good reason. This is a fantastic way to share your Xbox Game Pass library, your digital games, your Xbox Live Gold membership and other things with friends and family on your "Home" console, and it's really easy to do. But... there are some things you need to know as well.
Let's get those out of the way. Keep these all-important considerations in mind:
If the Game Sharer is using a different console and loses connection, they'll temporarily lose access to their games
It only applies for digital games
Lots of people evidently use game sharing to share their digital game libraries with a trusted friend in another location (which you should do at your own risk!). Here's what Microsoft says about the feature on the Xbox Support website:
With the boring bit done, let's take a look at how to Game Share on Xbox, and what exactly it is. And yes, there is a way to game share on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and you'll find instructions below to suit all three!
What Is Game Sharing On Xbox?
As the title suggests, Xbox Game Sharing is a way to share your games with someone else. It works by setting up a console as your "Home" console, which means everyone who uses it will get access to your stuff at no extra charge.
How To Game Share On Xbox
The process of Game Sharing on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S is pretty simple. First, you need to access your chosen console, and set it up as your "Home" device. Here's exactly how to change your Home Xbox:
Sign into the console using your Gamertag
Press the "Guide" button on your controller and navigate to 'Apps', followed by 'Settings'
Select the 'Personalization' option
Choose 'My Home Xbox', and then tick the box for 'Make This My Home Xbox'
Now, anyone who signs into that Xbox will be able to access your content. If you also want to use a second console to play your games, you can still do that by signing in with your gamertag, but you must always be online in order to access your content — as your "Home" Xbox is the one that takes priority. Hopefully that makes sense!
And that's it! That's how to Game Share on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S! Easy, right?
How To Game Share On Xbox Game Pass
If you activate Game Sharing on Xbox, all you need to do is become an active Xbox Game Pass member in order to share your subscription with everyone on your "Home" console.
The same applies for Xbox Live Gold, EA Play, and a few other things.
How To Remove Someone From Xbox Game Sharing
If for some reason you want to remove someone from sharing your games, you'll need to change your "Home" console to the one you're currently using. Your games will remain installed on the other console, but nobody will be able to play them. If you're both using the same console, however, they will still be able to access those titles.
Keep in mind that you can only change your "Home" Xbox console five times per-year.
