Can I Gameshare with a Friend and Family on Different Consoles?

-

I’m trying to figure out if I can game share my games with a friend while also having it set up with my family on the same Xbox console. I usually add accounts and switch the home console back and forth, but when I tried that this time, it locked my roommates out of the games they own. Is there a way to give my friend access to my games without messing with my roommates’ access? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You can share with a friend if they have your home console, just keep in mind that everyone else needs to log into that console too for them to access your games. It’s a bit tricky, but it could work if set up right.

Unfortunately, you can only have one Home Console per account. If you switch to set a new home console, you’ll automatically remove the previous console as your home base, which is why your roommates lost access to their games.

Just to confirm, you can’t have multiple Home Consoles without compromising others’ access.
