To play an already installed game on another PC account, you’ll need to make sure the game is installed on the PC and then sign in to the account that has access to the game. Here’s how you can do it:
On Windows 10:
- Switch to the Account with Access to the Game: On the Windows 10 PC, sign out of the current account and sign in with the account that owns the game or has access to it through Xbox Game Pass or another game-sharing feature.
- Locate the Game: After signing in, go to the Start menu or search for the game’s title in the search bar to find the game.
- Launch the Game: Click on the game’s icon to launch it. If the game is installed on the PC, it should be available to play on the new account.
- Play the Game: Once the game launches, you should be able to play it on the new account, using the existing game progress and saves associated with that game.
Please note that this method will work for games that support multiple accounts and do not have DRM (Digital Rights Management) restrictions that tie the game to a specific account. For some games or applications, you may need to have the appropriate licenses or permissions to play on multiple accounts.
If you are using Xbox Game Pass for PC, make sure that the game you want to play is part of the Game Pass library and accessible to the account you’re signed in with.
Additionally, some games may require you to be signed in to the Xbox app or another platform-specific client to access certain features or online functionality.
Lastly, if the game you want to play has DRM or account restrictions that limit it to a single account, you may not be able to play it on another account without purchasing it separately.
Always check the specific game’s licensing and DRM information to ensure you’re complying with the terms and conditions set by the game’s publisher or platform.
