Family share for Outriders is not working

Jump to Best Response

I wanted to share Outriders with my family but they get an error when more than one person starts the game. Is there a way to fix it?

@ZeroTwo4619 you can't play a shared game simultaneously. Only one person can play a particular game at the same time. Below is a snippet from the help article.

Play a shared game

When someone in your family group shares a game with you, it will appear in your library automatically. In the Stadia store, the label "Shared by family" will appear under the game's title. To play the game, just select the game 

 

 select Play 

 

.

Any family group member with a Stadia account can play a shared game as long as:

  • A valid family payment method is associated with the family group.
  • No one else in the family group is currently playing the game.
  • They aren't restricted by parental control settings or family sharing limits.

Each family member will have their own save data for shared games. If a game stops being shared with you, your save data will not be deleted. If you purchase the game on your own account, your save data will be restored.

Hi @ZeroTwo4619,

You can play up to the number of times a particular game has been bought at one time. In your case, outriders has been bought one time so only one person can play at one time.

To play the same game more then one at a time you will need to buy it again. 

Others in your family can play another game with you play outriders currently
