    Can I switch or gift an already purchased game to another account?


    Recently, I have brought Call of Duty modern warfare vault edition, however I purchased it on the wrong account (on the same xbox 1 series s). Is there any way I can put the game on my other account?

    :)

    Can I switch or gift an already purchased game to another account?

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    I apologize but that’s not possible, if this was recently purchased through Microsoft Store you can request a refund by signing in to https://xbox.com/refunds.

    How do you gift a digital game you have already purchased?

    As far as i know, if you've already done the purchase, its linked to your account. Not all games are gift-able, but the ones that are, you'll have an option under the purchase section to gift. im not sure you can gift after you've already purchased.

    I was redeeming an xbox giftcard and accidentally redeemed it on the wrong account. Is there a way I can possibly refund it or transfer it to a different account on the same xbox.

    There is no way to get a refund, as it was a gift card, and there is no way to transfer it to another account. Is this gift card just money, or virtual currency for a game? If it is just money, then you can still purchase games with it, by purchasing the game as a gift for the account you want the game on. If it is virtual currency for a game, then there is nothing that can be done to move it to another account, so your only option would be to use it on the account you redeemed it on.

    I bought a gift card for Fortnite, but I play on Xbox. I redeemed it, but later found out it was on the wrong Microsoft account.

    Hi Picolas,

    Sorry, I discussed this topic with another moderator and I realised that there may have been a misunderstanding from my side. I thought you redeemed a game code (which you can’t transfer to another account) and not a gift card like Microsoft balance.

    So if it’s a gift card, then you actually can purchase any game as a gift and this is a possible workaround to transfer the game to another account. So the information provided by the virtual automated support agent was technically true.

    Refer to the following support articles:

    Help with giving digital games as gifts | Xbox Support

    https://news.xbox.com/2020/11/20/how-to-buy-a-digital-game-as-a-gift-this-holiday/

    If you’ve already purchased the game on the account with the gift card, you can request a refund and then purchase the game through the gift option.

    Please let me know if I need to clarify anything here.

    Give your games

    You can buy a game as a gift for a friend, but you cannot transfer a game that was already bought to another account.
