My family has been enjoying playing MechWarrior 5 together on two PCs (two Microsoft profiles) sharing the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Our $1 for 3 months GPU subs runs our next month. If we don't extend the GPU subs, do I have to buy two copies of the game in order to continue playing together or can I purchase one copy of the game and share it between both Microsoft profiles?
Thanks megaalc. None of the replies in your link really seem to answer my question.
Can I purchase just one copy of the PC game and both Microsoft profiles can play the game at the same time in online co-op mode without a GPU subscription?
best would be to ask MS support in their chat ..
I can only answer for console. The answer is yes one purchase can cover your home console (using a secondary account) and another signed in with the account owner. I do remember reading it works differently for PC. So hopefully a PC owner can chime in
haven't tried it in a while to confirm this still works
did similar to this since 2016 with Forza Horizon 3 and all future pc forza titles
sign in to account with purchase, download/install, sign out, game will remain installed and work with any xbox live account, played multiplayer, might work up to 10 installs, never tried more than two concurrently
Thank you! Your reply is most helpful. This was the process I used to install and play MechWarrior 5 on both PCs in co-op mode using our current GPU subs. I’m hoping we can continue doing this even after our subs expires.
