good evening

Games are non-transferable, only xbox games could be transferred, unfortunately this can no longer be done.

So, only by downloading via purchase history on the original consol used to make the purchase will I be able to download the game again?

...any idea if the game can be transfered to a different HD with a transfer cable and then redownloaded?

Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here. Sorry to hear about what happened.

Please be informed that there's no way we can transfer account data and licenses. They will remain on that account. What we could only do is to switch or transfer email address as a primary email address of the account. However, that can only be done if the email address we're talking about is a 3rd party email address since we can replace it and transfer to a different account. If that was a Microsoft email address, there's no way we can transfer that to a different account since Microsoft emails are Microsoft account itself.

Hi there!

This current email you're using, is it a 3rd party email or a Microsoft email? If that's a 3rd party email, it's only possible to transfer it from one account to another. If that's a Microsoft email, it cannot be linked/transferred or merged to a different Microsoft account. Either way, we cannot merge accounts.

Since your Minecraft is linked to a different account, it will stay there same as your other games and gamertag on your account from your console. What we can only do is transfer aliases or primary email addresses given that the email address is a 3rd party email.
