How in 2023 does Microsoft not have a way to transfer game progress to a childs profile on...

Good evening

As a player I can only inform, and unfortunately there is no procedure that allows this type of procedure, nor has Microsoft shown interest in implementing this type of resource.

You can create a child account on your current parental account. You can not transfer games, saved progress etc. You can set the parental account to Home Xbox and the child account would have access to the games but not the saved progress.

It is not Microsofts fault that a child account was not set up.

I am having the same issue. I need to switch my account that my son has been using to a child account to limit his time. Either that or find a way to switch his game progress & money to his child account.

There is no way to demote an adult account to a child account and there is no way to transfer progress and currency to another account.

Hi Sarah. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Unfortunately, you can't transfer Xbox profiles between Microsoft account's. Your son's Xbox profile is permanently tied to your account and can't be changed to a child account.

If you create a new Microsoft account, you'll also have to create a new Xbox profile, and his progress and purchases in games won't transfer over. This is why it's recommended to set up individual account's for children instead of letting them using your own account.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

It's not so much the games we are wanting to transfer but the progress he has made in any games. Does the progress you've made in a game go with your console or with your profile.
