XR-112 requires that games provide an entry point to the account picker to allow changing of the active (default) users. If the game is using the simplified user model and has ensured that they have a required default user before launch, the game doesn’t need to provide this entry point. As a best practice, games using the simplified user model may still want to give the option of changing the default user of their game. This will require a little bit of code. At a high-level, they need to allow a new user to sign-in and then relaunch the game with that user. They can do this with the following steps:
  1. Call XUserAddAsync and get an XUserHandle
  2. Call XLaunchNewGame, specifying the EXE of the current game and using the previously determined XUserHandle.
After the game is restarted in this manner, the new user is the default user for that game. If that user ever signs out, the game will then be suspended. The game will not get a sign-out even for their default user.
