GameShare & Early Access

Question

In the "Games &amp; Apps" section on the dashboard, NFS Payback says Pre-Ordered (and downloaded), however tells me I have the option of purchasing the game, which also it gives me 2 different start times depending on which one I purchase..That being said, my friend has purchased NFS Payback, Deluxe Edition and we both have individual Xbox Gold &amp; EA Access. I'm curious to know if ..1). Will I also get the Deluxe Edition Bonuses such as&nbsp; cars and 10% off items with in-game currency?2). Will I also get early access to the game at 12AM EST tonight, or will I have to wait until the standard version drops on the 10th? I have played the trial, but I can't seem to get a clear answer, and I called Microsoft Support before I was directed here.Thanks!

1. No, sorry. Only Deluxe Edition pre orders get those exclusive bonuses. Does not matter if you have EA Access or Origin Access and so on. If you have only the standard edition of the game, you will only get the standard edition bonuses.

2. No, sorry. Only Deluxe Edition pre orders will gain access tomorrow or well Midnight tonight and Standard Edition players will need to wait till the 10th. Does not matter if you have EA Access or Origin Access and so on. They did give you a 10 hour trial that you could play before anyone else so there is that.

Also, ignore the purchase option. If you have the game already, you are set, no need to buy it two times.

So lets see here, based on your first post you have the standard edition and he has deluxe edition right? Or only you have the game and its the Deluxe edition or standard edition?

If you have the Deluxe Edition on your account and your Xbox, then yes you will get all the Deluxe benefits such as the 3 day early access and Deluxe bonus packs. But if you have standard edition on your account and your Xbox then you wont get any extra benefits even if you do share it (unless he gives you access to his account).

Basically whichever account has the Deluxe Edition on will get all the Deluxe Edition perks, that is it really.

Sorry if you've said this already and I missed it. But we're game sharing. So it says pre-ordered and his home xbox is physically mine. So I'll have access to it come midnight because we DO gameshare, AND it says pre-ordered on MY account.

Again sorry for any misunderstandings I'm just looking for clarification.

Again, thanks!

Answer

Thanks for being patient.I've never purchased the game. I logged into my friends account today and downloaded NFS (deluxe edition) to my Xbox. I also set my physical Xbox as my friends home Xbox.So my home Xbox is at my friend's and vice versa.At the Microsoft store, it still gives me the option to purchase Nfs (from my account) but on the game menu (installation &amp; updates) it says pre-ordered.What I believe you're saying is since the Xbox says pre-ordered, I can ignore what the store says, and since we share the game, I'll get early access to NFS come midnight since I did in fact download the deluxe edition.I stated in my first post that we both have EA and Gold as a reference to not needing to share the services.Anyway thanks for the response. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
