Can I transfer Xbox account to another Microsoft account?

MrBrowski · Feb 22, 2019

First of all, hello to the community

I bought my first xbox yesterday. It's xbox one s and I was so happy about it but I screwed up after only 30 min...

Here is my problem:

Before I got my xbox I had 2 microsoft Accounts/E-Mails, I used one of them for almost everything (games, forums etc), lets call this one 'Acc 1' and the other one for important stuff (job), this one will be 'Acc 2', so I wanted it to stay as clean as possible.

Long time ago I wanted to try Minecraft so I used my 'Acc 1' email to create a GamerTag. So after getting my xbox yesterday I was so excited that I logged in with my 'Acc 2' and created new GamerTag with it. Xbox also came with a Battlefield V & Battlefield
1 and I entered codes so they are now bounded to my 'Acc 2' (I was PS guy before but I guess it works the same way on xbox).

What I want to do:

As mentioned before I want that 'acc 2' to be only for my job so what are my options?

Best case would be if I could somehow transfer the games to the 'Acc 1' and also use the same GamerTag there. (I started streaming and the GamerTag on Acc 2 is the one I use on twitch, youtube etc)

The 2nd best solution would be to transfer it to a new account which I will be using only for xbox.

Please tell me there is something I can do about it without losing my games

Unfortunately you are not able to transfer between accounts, but you you can use game share as mentioned.

Hello!

If I'm reading this correctly, your best option would be to tie your Xbox Account to your personal e-mail address (Change the e-mail associated with it under your info). Then create a new Microsoft account with your "work" e-mail address.

games are tied to the account who got it, the only thing you can do is set your xbox as home so you can share things with the other account. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/games/game-setup/my-home-xbox

Thanks for your answer!

And in case I don't care about games and am ready to sacriface them?

Thanks for your message, well I guess this is the closest I get to what I want.

Thanks a lot

Hello
denis97g,

Thanks for reaching out to Xbox forums support! I'll be more than happy to try to get all this figured out for you!

"Account 1" is your primary gamer account with all your games / Xbox related stuff on it.

"Account 2" is your work related account that you want to keep clean but by mistake owns the Battlefield V & Battlefield 1 licenses on it.

So what you'll want to do is sign into your console under "Account 2" and Set as my Home Xbox
.

Next, Sign out of that account.

Then, sign into "Account 1" on your Xbox console, and moving forward you'll be able to play Battlefield V & Battlefield 1 with your "Account 1"

because you'll be what we call "game sharing" with your primary account.

Let us know if that helped clear things up! Good luck and Happy gaming!
