    My son is in college at moment with good internet
    I am thinking of getting him digital only Xbox one s if it drops to 100 euro
    We have game pass etc and don’t use it as our internet at hike is rubbish

    Is it just a case of him logging in to it under my Xbox life account ? Can he use any of the physical games I have installed in current Xbox one ?

    you download the games across both consoles so if space is an issue then yeah a external hdd would be best

    I just read the link above and spotted that only digital games can be shared
    So that means all the ones I have now can’t be shared anyway
    So he will be restricted to Gamepass and Ea Access games for time being
    Won’t need external HD just yet
