Hi
I have Windows 10 store credit on an account and want to buy Gears of War 4 and play it when it comes out. Is it possible to purchase it on one account and play it on another account online?
Thanks

you can login to the store with whatever account you choose, so yes.

So just to clarify. If I buy gear 4 on the microsoft account i'm currently logged into, log off and log on to another account, I can play it online on Xbox live on the other account without having to purchase the game again
 


No. You must be logged in to the account you used to purchase the game. But not logged into Windows. Just the store.
 


Thing is though. I bought Halo Spartan Assault on one account and logged onto the other and was able to play it without having to pay
 


Ok, then it would seem that i am ill informed :)
