  1. Share Minecraft Dungeons with family


    In the past I've successfully shared Minecraft bought on my account with my children on the Family account and I was under the assumption that other games bought on my account could be shared with my children in the same way.


    However having bought Minecraft Dungeons Hero Edition on my account, when I try to install it via the Windows Store on my child's account, it only shows the option to buy the game again and not to install it like it did when I shared Minecraft.


    So my question is should I be able to share Minecraft Dungeons with child accounts or not?

    :)

    I've seen a more or less similar post but of 2016, so I was hoping things might be different now.

    Is it possible to buy minecraft once and share it with your kids on the family account and can they play it simultaneously?

    I find this whole family account and content sharing on the microsoft store very confusing. It is very obvious in the Google play store how that works and there I bough minecraft once and can share it with my kids who can play it simultaneously.
