"t's a "family" affair
Since its announcement, there has been some confusion over the details of sharing your Xbox One game library with up to ten "family members." Mehdi couldn't give comprehensive details but he did clarify some things.
For one, a family member doesn't have to be a "blood relative," he said, eliminating the extremely unlikely possibility that the Xbox One would include a built-in blood testing kit. For another, they don't have to live in the primary owner's house—I could name a friend that lives 3,000 miles away as one of my "family members" Mehdi said.
You'll be able to link other Xbox Live accounts as having shared access to your library when you first set up a system, and will also be able to add them later on (though specific details of how you manage these relationships is still not being discussed). The only limitation, it seems, is that only one person can be playing the shared copy of a single game at any given time. All in all, this does sound like a pretty convenient feature that's more workable than simply passing discs around amongst friends who are actually in your area."

Don't know how har dit is to understand basic concepts Yusuf Mehdi explained it in the quote above. Its very simple. You pick 10 friends to put into that list and that friends will access to all your games on the cloud. The only catch is that you can't play the same game at the same time. Makes sense lol. Now if you want to expand your access to more games on the cloud then you get other friends or friends of theirs to add you in one of those 10 people and you get access to not only to their games list on the cloud but also to all your 10 friends you pick as family. If you think of the potential of sharing then you can the possibilities are infinite. Much better as you can access it anywhere you go. Hope that makes it easier for people.
