Hey guys! I'm wondering is someone can answer this for me.
My oldest son has an Xbox One already. My two younger sons both want an Xbox One for Christmas.
Can I buy games in the future once and have them all play the same game without having to buy 3 copies?
They all had a PS3 and used to share discs - no problem. Then they all got the Xbox 360 and I had to buy the same game 3 times because they couldn't share. I don't want the same problem again with the One. Games here are too expensive to have to buy 3 times. For instance, NHL 16 is about $100 per disc with tax etc... where I live (Ontario, Canada). $300 for them to play just one game isn't happening.
I've been reading mixed reactions about whether or not this is possible to share games. Can someone here that knows what they're talking about help me out? I'm not a gamer so I'm not too familiar with it all. In my time I gamed on my Atari 2600 and Nintendo LOL.
Also, if it's possible to share games would they all need to have a Live account too?
Just to clarify, they don't all necessarily want to play the same game at the same time. My oldest might play Black Ops 3 while the other two might play NHL and I don't know, WWE or a Lego game or whatever. Basically I just want to know if buying a game once will allow them all to have access to it or if I need to buy each game 3 times, which I refuse to do.
Thanks!
