    Can I move my games and apps to a new Xbox account?


    The email associated with my microsoft account was terminated. I made a new account for xbox and i want to know if it’s possible to transfer my games and apps to my new xbox account. I know i can just change the email on my microsoft account but ive built up some time on my new xbox account and would prefer to use that one. I don’t care one bit about save data, i just don’t want to buy my digital games again. If it’s possible to transfer the games themselves over, i’m perfectly willing to achievement farm and stuff like that all over again.

    :)

    Moving Windows Games to New Hard Drive SSD?

    Although you can't move the store or xbox app you can move the games. Click on start and then settings. Click on System and then apps & features. Find the games that you want to move and left click them. You'll have two options, move or uninstall. Click
    on move and select a new destination, i.e your new SSD. You can do this for all your games, not just those that have been installed via the store or xbox app.

    Can I move game to My Xbox account

    It seems your XBox Live account is fairly new, if you used a free subscription or didn't buy a long term subscription I'd suggest you just upgrade your offline account to live.

    If you do this you will be able to-

    • Keep all of your earned achievements.
    • Maintain your game saves.
    • Keep your avatar.
    And anything else you may have on your offline account.

    If you choose not to do this, then I'm afraid as already mentioned there's no way to move your save while staying within XBox's ToS.

    Hope everything works out!

    Can I move game to My Xbox account

    Hello Jack!

    You will need to start the game over again on the XBL profile, as games cannot be merged from one account to another.
