Xbox One General Discussion - Part 3

I watch Netflix through the Xbox - Sometimes I listen using headphones through the controller. Im wondering can I use a 3.5mm splitter through the controller - would it be able to feed 2 sets of headphones?

Quick question here. I bought an xbox one last November. It came with a digital copy of fifa 18. I downloaded the game on to the device. I am looking to sell on the xbox and am wondering if I can advertise fifa as going with it? Sorry lads, not tech savvy

The game is linked to your account not the console

You will have to give them your profile which may not be a good thing if you have credit card attached.

Can you still do license transfer?

Not sure. Haven't heard of it since 360 days

erkifino · 23-02-2018 5:16pm

I'd guess if you set the xbox to 'home' it should transfer your licences.

As far as I know when you buy a game you get 2 licences. One to your gamertag and one to your home xbox. This is what allows game sharing.

Rise of the Tomb Raider coming to game pass next month

mrkiscool2 · 25-02-2018 4:43am

Darkest Dungeon is FINALLY coming to Xbox One! If anyone hasn't played this game, I highly recommend getting it. Think turn based Dark Souls but with permadeath and you are on the right track. Dripping in atmosphere, delighted as my PC can barely run this game and I'm a console player mostly!

They've added an option for X enhanced BC games on to run at best performance or best graphics

And perhaps more importantly, added The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Forza Horizon, Fable Anniversary and Crackdown to the list of One X Enhanced games.

Crackdown has also gone BC, obviously.

marcbrophy · 27-02-2018 8:22pm

Woo hoo!
Crackdown

I love me some crack :pac:

dor83 · 27-02-2018 9:09pm

Saw your post and thought I'd go and buy Crackdown to give it another play through only to see that I already owned it so it's downloading now.

Yeah, it was on Games with Gold a few years back.

I never actually got into the Witcher 2, might go back and play through it now.

So was the Witcher 2 and Forza Horizon, so many of us might actually have them already.
(Fable Anniversary is in Game Pass, too)

SNOW DAY!!

My friend works in Gamestop Waterford and said good few people ringing in looking for second hand consoles for the day that's in it :pac:

Live servers down at the minute

Plus some peoples real names are being exposed without permission atm on their gamertags. Could be related, MS may have taken the servers down to fix the problem and minimize the damage caused by the data leak.

ShadowHearth · 02-03-2018 11:54pm

Okay lads, can you explain me this like I am 5.

I got my own xbox one x in bedroom with love and ea access.
My daughter's xbox live ran out and I know I can use my account so she would have xbox live too.

Is it enough for me just just to log in to her xbox and leave my account there? I never play on her xbox.
Or do I need to do that whole sharing thing that is talked about here? So I will need to log in to her her xbox and make it my home console?
How it will change my console upstairs?

If I do this whole sharing, she wont be able to use my account to buy stuff or login to my account? I use 5 digit pin myself. Will she need my code to play on her own account on her own xbox?

Ninja edit. I just read this in Microsoft website.

"When you change home consoles, all device licenses for digital content will move to your new home Xbox. These device licenses will no longer be available on your old "home" Xbox."

Will this sharing mess up my own xbox upstairs?

dor83 · 03-03-2018 12:10am

Once you set her console as your home console I think you can delete your profile from it if you want, I think that's what I did but it's so long ago that I'm not sure. You could also leave it there and have it require a password to login, that won't make any difference to her profile.

If you set her console as your home console then your console upstairs will have to be connected to the internet to play digital games, so if your internet goes down you can only play disc based games on yours.

I actually dont mind that I need internet connection, I am always oine amyway.

And if I set it up her console as home, it wont mess up my console in anyway? It wont just start deleting stuff etc? It wont start automatically downloading my games that I have installed on xbox one x on hers?

No, no and no, though future games purchased will be pushed to her console if automatic download is set on purchases from the Xbox website.

Is Netflix working for anyone? I'm not on any beta or insider program but I'm constantly getting n w 2 5 error.

Working on other devices.

One of the Xbox team, Brad Rosetti, is looking into it, but no, you're not the only one right now.

No harm trying one of the fixes suggested: Delete the netflix app, then hard reboot the console (hold the power button down for about ten seconds), then download the app from the store again.

Two more backward compatible games:

Hitman : Blood Money and Lego Star Wars III

wotzgoingon · 06-03-2018 9:26pm

I loved Hitman: Blood Money back when it first came out as it was one of the first stealth games I ever played and found it a nice change from running into buildings and shooting everything that moves.
