How To: Gameshare on Xbox One (updated 10/4/2017)

In order to share games or DLC with another Xbox One you simply change Home Console Settings.

For Example: Gamer A will log in to Gamer B's Xbox One and make that Xbox his home console.  Then Gamer B  will login to Gamer A's Xbox One and make that  his home console.

This will only work for digital downloads not disk based games or physical copies.

Reminder: It is against TOS, Code of Conduct and really not a good idea to give you login information to a 3rd party, so you should do this in person.



Note You can designate only one console as your home Xbox.Scroll left from Home to open the guide.

1. Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
2. Go right and Highlight the Settings Gear
3. Scroll down and select Settings
4. Scroll down and select Personalization and on the right select  My Home Xbox
5. Review the information, and then do one of the following:

• Select Make this my home Xbox to designate the console as your home Xbox.
• Select This is not my home Xbox to remove the designation.

Can I change my home Xbox console to a different console?


You can change which console is your home Xbox up to five times during a one-year period. This period works on a rolling basis, starting the moment you change your home Xbox for the first time. If you reach your limit of home console changes for the year, you’ll get a message letting you know the next available date you can change it.

NEWS: You can now change your ‘home’ Xbox One console 5 times per year

In an undisclosed policy change, Microsoft is now allowing owners of its Xbox One console to change their ‘home’ console up to 5 times per year. Previously, the home console could only be set 3 times per year.

Setting a home Xbox designates which console automatically downloads purchased content from the Xbox Store, as well as the console which shares games and Xbox Live Gold.
