File Sharing

Me and my friend were planning on buying the ultimate edition of forza.
That being said, will we both be able to play the game 5 days early?

That would depend on some things.
Are you both buying one copy or one for the two of you.
If you both buy one you are good for sure however,
If you both share the game I think if it is on the same console family / friends can play as well but not sure if both get the ultimate package though, one may be standard and if you both have Xbox Ones I don’t think there is any way to go without buying 2 ultimate editions.
Also keep in mind I may be wrong on this too.

Yeah we were going to buy one digitally and than file share it. hoping that since the game being shared is the “ultimate edition”, we’d both get the early access.

You should get access on both consoles.

I own two consoles and regularly play on both. I travel a bit for work and don’t want to carry one back and forth so I have two. Console A is set as my “Home Xbox” and Console B is not. Console B is at my house.

Any digital game I buy, including DLC, automatically begins an install on Console A (assuming there is room) and I manually install it on Console B. Everything works just fine on both at all times.

I know you can play both games with one game purchased but I doubt that they can both play together at the same time. This is kind of what I was saying but I did not do a good job expressing that. LOL

That’s the thing - they could both play at the exact same time; however, only the gamertag that purchased the item would have early access and VIP.

For example, I have Dragonball Xenoverse as a digital copy (no digital Forza games yet, what can I say, I like the disc). My nephew can play on my home console at his house and I can play on the console at my house and we can play together, at the same time.

Thanks PPiDrive I did not know you could do this. Never to old to learn and yes I am OLD!!! LOL well not quite 50 so not an antique yet???

Yeah but the early access might be tied to the user account like VIP is.

Oh, true, true. The early access probably is tied to the early account.

In any case, depends on what OPs priorities are.

Do you want two people to be able to play on one copy of the game or do you both want early access. If one of you can wait 5 days you save $100.

and that is what i’m worried about.

I would have thought the VIP, dlc and early access part of the package will only be available to one gamertag.

In f5 Vip is tie to main account. DLC is shared to everybody.
My guess is early access will be tie to main account.
