This article discusses sharing games on Xbox and its series. Things to be careful about before sharing games with others are also mentioned.
Content that can be shared with Xbox Gameshare
Sharing games with friends and family just got more convenient with Game Share, which gives users access to digital video games on Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One with premium subscription services like EA Play and Xbox Game Pass.
It can be useful to share your Game Pass subscription with someone else as it is essential for playing online games. If you designate someone else’s Xbox One as your home console, you can still take advantage of the subscription on that console.
