Game sharing is achieved by setting someone else’s console (usually a friend) as your ‘home’ console. This allows any account on that console to play your games without needing a license (without needing to own the game).
Your profile would still exist on the console, but would be unable to share it’s library with other profiles on that Xbox. If that person has your password, however, they could still log onto your profile and re-set it as the home console. So, if they have your password, you will want to change that too.
When your Game Pass subscription ends that license is removed from your account. At that point you will no longer be able to download any of the games, but any games you’ve already downloaded will still be on your console.
What happens if you share your Xbox account with someone else?
Impersonate another person (e.g. Microsoft staff, moderators, employees of game developers, publishers or other Xbox partners) Game sharing doesn’t require accessing someone else’s account at all and the Home Xbox setting isn’t restricted by location. Again, technically speaking, it doesn’t violate anything. Was this reply helpful?
If you’re in the middle of a game on your Xbox and your friend logs onto their Xbox with your account, you will be kicked out, and your game will immediately end. Better hope you had a recent auto-save.
They have nothing to do with sharing stuff. If you want to share everything you need to make your son’s console your home Xbox and then sign into the other Xbox with your account and play that way.

Any friends or family who log onto your Xbox will either have to sign in as you or buy their own copy of any games you own. You’ve essentially given your digital sharing benefits away to an Xbox not in your house.

How do I Stop my Xbox from sharing my games?
Answer Wiki. If you’ve got access to the console go to the settings and remove it as your home console. I’d you don’t gave access to it but do another console – ie if a friend’s console is set as your home console and you have your own – you can set that as your home console and it will stop it from being your home console and game sharing.
To stop this, all you have to do is make a console that you own your home console. This will stop your games from being shared with users on that other console. However, the person you were gamesharing will likely do the same and stop sharing their library with your console with you.
