In an Xbox Wire post, Microsoft chief product officer Marc Whitten said the company's ambition for the platform was to create a "highly personalized" console that is also social.
Whitten said everyone in their home can share digital games with each other. Any person can sign in with their unique gamertag and play, even if the owner is not signed in. Similar to physical games, users can also play digital titles without being connected to the Internet or Xbox Live, though Whitten said the experience will be "best" when connected.
Whitten also reiterated that gamers can play digital titles before the entire game finishes downloading, a feature that competitor Sony also offers in the PlayStation 4.
When players travel to a friend's house, they can access their titles by signing into their console using their gamertag. Game purchases made on a friend's console will also be available on a user's home console.
The Xbox One launches in November for $500.
