Game sharing

If the console was set as the purchaser’s Home Xbox, anyone who signs in to that console should be able to play the purchaser’s digital games and durable add-ons without the purchaser being signed in.

A circle with a line through it usually means the other account does not currently have usable access to that content. Based on the supported sharing rules, check these points:

1. Verify the correct console is set as the purchaser’s Home Xbox:
   • Open Settings > Personalization > My home Xbox on the purchaser’s console.
   • The friend’s console must be the purchaser’s Home Xbox for offline-style sharing to work there.
2. If trying on a console that is not the purchaser’s Home Xbox:
   • The purchaser must be signed in and connected to Xbox services.
   • On a non-Home console, other users only have access while the purchaser is signed in.
   • If the purchaser signs out, the shared license is lost and the game becomes unusable.
3. If the game shows “Do you own this game or app?” with 0x803f8001:
   • That indicates the account launching the game does not currently have the required license on that console.
   • This happens when the console is not the correct Home Xbox, or when the owner is not signed in on a non-Home console.
4. Check whether the content is a consumable add-on:
   • Consumables are not shared between accounts.
   • Games and durable add-ons can be shared, but consumables cannot.
5. If the issue is specifically with installing or finding games on Xbox:
   • Go to My games & apps > Ready to install.
   • For automatic installs, use Settings > System > Updates & downloads > Keep my games & apps up to date.

If the console is already the correct Home Xbox and the games still show as unavailable, use Xbox support for installation or console-sharing troubleshooting.
