Xbox one game sharing (those with xbox should take a look)

[Abraders]

Has anybody taken advantage of this yet? I've only just worked it out today that it's even possible haha.

For those who don't know, the idea is that you and a friend (for example we'll go with A & B) swap accounts. You then set the swapped accounts to your own xbox's home accounts. Having a home account means any games digitally bought by that gamertag are available for all other accounts to be used WITHOUT having to sign the home account in. So once you've both done this, you can download all of each others games onto your own xbox's and continue to use your own gamertag (just not as a home account on your own xbox) and have full access to all your own games, and your friends. You can even both play at the same time!

My mate has his home set as my account and I have mine set as my brother's.

I go halves with either of them depending on the game and the three of us reap the benefits.

Best thing Microsoft have done since the first Halo was released.

Just to clarify:

My brother doesn't get access to my mates games only mine so you have to be selective over what games each person purchases.

Still boss though.

Yeah man it's really nifty, and if you have somebody you know like in our cases we can save a lot of money!

Surprised how many of my friends didn't know about it (and myself until today) so I thought i'd make this thread to spread the word

Any external hdd that is over 256 will work (needs usb 3) any lower and the Xbox won't recognise it for game storage just photos etc.

Pick a decent one up for around £60 mate.
