Access your entire games library from any Xbox One—no discs required: After signing in and installing, you can play any of your games from any Xbox One because a digital copy of your game is stored on your console and in the cloud. So, for example, while you are logged in at your friend’s house, you can play your games.
Honestly, how big are these games going to be? "Hey want to see this awesome game? Let's wait 2 hours for it to install"
Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.
This is legtimately not horrible, of course the shared game list is going to be super short and I'm not sure if "any one of your family members" is a tricky way of saying only one person can use the shared library at a time. Some people are insisting this will be some grand added value, but I really fucking doubt it.
Give your games to friends: Xbox One is designed so game publishers can enable you to give your disc-based games to your friends. There are no fees charged as part of these transfers. There are two requirements: you can only give them to people who have been on your friends list for at least 30 days and each game can only be given once.
This isn't completely fucking horrible, I guess!
I wonder if they're going to sit and just leave this page up and go into November with a lot of people thinking you can't sell your used games or you can't trade games with friends. They're going to at least need to come out and say "well you can kinda do some of those things". |
