Hi, guys!
I have a question. Can I buy with a friend a game and can both of us play? cuz I don’t had money to buy one. I install and play on my xbox account. Is possible? Can we play togheter if at MS we both take the same account and at xbox we take different account. Can you help me please cuz I have to buy this game.
Thanks!
I’m guessing you mean something similar to ‘GameShare’ ?
You will need both yours and your friends account signed into the Xbox. The best thing would be to Google about how to go about it and ensure that both you and you’re friend are comfortable with it as it enables you to share all digital games.
Also it’s a little more complicated as just “install and play”
If you’re referring to both of you playing on one console, the game doesn’t have local co-op or split screen but you could both play after one another on the xbox.

I want to say cuz if we connect both at that microsoft store account and at xbox at a different one if we can play together at the same time.
I want to know if I can play with my friend if we take the MS account but on xbox we take different account and if we can play togheter fh4? Sorry for my english
You would need to redeem a digital copy of the game on your account and then set your friends Xbox as your home xbox.
Your friend can then play the game on their Xbox with their account.
You would then play on your xbox with your account and be able to play the game…
The downside is that while your friend has access to all of your digital games as their xbox is set as your home xbox, you would no longer be able to share the games locally if you wanted to let someone else log in to their account on your xbox .In this way you can play on 2 xbox or 1 xbox and 1 PC.
I’m not sure this approach is strictly in the licence terms as it’s meant for you to play on a friends Xbox, now specifically for game sharing.
If you want to take control back, you simply set your xbox as your home xbox and this would restore all your local privleges and your friend would not longer be able to play.
Horizon is also on game pass and there are some cheap deals to be had so this may be another way to play, one of you buys the game, the other plays via game pass.

You cannot both play simultaneously. Tried that with Sea of Thieves, another Xbox Play Anywhere title. My wife was playing on Xbox (set as ‘home’). I tried launching the game on Windows 10 to join her, and it kicked her from the game.
You actually can if you are using separate gamertags…i do it all the time…but you must have only 1 gamertag signed on the xbox…and not the one you are using on the PC
