Tips for Gamesharing

• Due to the fact that gamesharing is limited to two individuals at a time, you will not be able to include another person in the mix until you quit game sharing with your initial gameshare partner.
• Only play gameshare with people you know and trust. Someone could get access to your account information, and you don’t want that information to go into the hands of someone who might use it for unscrupulous purposes.
• Digital versions of games are the only ones that may be shared. Physical copies, on the other hand, cannot be shared because they can only be used with one Xbox One at a time, making it impossible to do so.

FAQs

Did Xbox remove game sharing?

In the aftermath of Microsoft’s decision to reverse all of its DRM-based rules on the Xbox One, the company has also removed several really handy elements from the console’s interface. A shared game library will no longer be supported by the console, and actual discs will once again be necessary to play games on the system.

Can you play the same game while game sharing?

Yes, gamesharing allows you to share your game with another console in addition to your own. You cannot, however, use the same account to play on two different servers at the same time. I hope this has been of use, and good gaming!
