How to share games on Xbox One.

[QUOTE="Mr720fan"]

[QUOTE="percech"] btw, did you preorder one? I did, although I just did it so I can make the choice when it's close to release.percech

yeah and i am putting heli on my family list, im projectnatalfan on XBL, hit me up brother. i can have 1000 friends, i dont think you can do that on PS4 hahahaah welcome to the future!!!

sounds like a plan, i have 8 more slots lol ill send u a request in a few

[QUOTE="navyguy21"]Why in the hell didnt they explain this in the beginning and avoid all of the negative headlines? :| So stupid.... (Awesome news tho :P , i was worried about that.)Mr720fan

because spencer mattrick and others dont have that kind of PR skill. Hire a motherly woman to tell the masses about this and you are fine. These guys are clueless about it, spencer doesnt even know how it works. Time for someone to get fired i think or downgraded.

Don't blame Mattrick on this. I assume the announcement schedule is planned ahead of time.

Did you forget that the PS3 has the game share feature? Nengo_Flow

are we talking about PS3???

On topic, there are probably huge caveats behind this. I can't even imagine how much a game's value being split into ten would affect game sales.Blabadon

Once its released, we can get sharing groups for people who wanna share games. It will be the most envious thread on gamespot. Hehehe.

wrong again, spencer said that you and one other can play the same game at one time, which isnt true. He is misinformed, only games that you wont be able to share are going to be f2p and maybe multiplayer only like titanfall. if it has single player, guess what, you are going to be able share it.

Fixed.

You didn't include the fact that only one of those friends can play the game at a time.

MS has a release schedule on the information that has probably be preplanned for the year.

This isn't Mattrick fault that he can't go into every detail or why he has to dodge some questions.

So... 10 people can share a game through a list on XBL, but only 1 person can play it at once.  Is this through just one console, or consoles across the country?  And if so, how do consoles across the country get the game data from the shared game?  Do they download it through XBL?  How long does that take?  What if I wanted to play the game but someone else was already playing it?

This just sounds like crazy BS to me.

Where can we create the sharing groups here on gamespot. Putting them on system wars would probably be rage inducing for the cows. Probably the Xbox One forum. Amirite?

What if your "friend" doesn't end up giving you the game back, is there a way to deny them access?

With the ps4 I can just go over to their house, kick the door in and get my copy back. Simple.

OP forgot the most crucial step in this process.

Step 1. Find 10 friends stupid enough to buy an xbox one.

Why would anyone fedex a game across the country? lol.

Unless of course you wanted to sell it to someone on Ebay or somesuch site.

I got it all now.

Half wits trying to spin asinine DRM into a good thing.

Dont forget for xbox one they have to be your friend for more than 30 days and only one person at a time can play the game so all 10 people have to take turns playing it. This includes the original owner of the game.

They also have to live in a country where xbox live is supported and a consistant internet connection because when you lend a friend a game the xbox one does checks in every hour instead of every 24 hours.

And you can only lend a game out to people one time.

If they are on a data cap internet connection they wont be able to use it more likely considering games can run from 20 to 50 gb in size. Not so good for someone with a data cap of 2gb or 20 a month.

WTF? I have one friend in another state and she'd not stupid enough to buy the xbox One. Everyone I know is well within driving distance. YoshiYogurt
