  3. Can't retrieve old gamertag

    So I have a bit of a complicated problem. I was having trouble updating Skyrim V on my Xbox one and when I looked it up, it said I needed to restart my console. I did that and of course, I had to put in all my details again including my microsoft email and
    password. I couldn't remember my password so I reset it but I still used the same email. For some reason, that gave me an entirely new profile and gamertag which means that all my game saves have disappeared, presumably on my original profile. My problem is
    that I can't seem to find a way to get back to my first profile and thus all the saved game data. I still remember my old gamertag. I can't add a new account because like I said above, I used the same email for this new one. Can anyone help?

    From the home screen, press Right Trigger and then press A to get into your library. Scroll to the very right and see if Overwatch is in the "Ready to install" list. If not, try power cycling your Xbox and try again to make sure everything's "refreshed".

    Absolute worst case scenario might be you may have inadvertently installed the digital copy into your friend's account, but let's try the above first.

  6. Hmm... how about hard drive storage space? Do you have enough left on your Xbox One? Perhaps the game isn't automatically installing because of that? Overwatch requires 10GB + patches.

    Have you also tried restarting your Xbox, too? It's always something to try if you notice weird behavior and things not working correctly in the system.

    As a last resort, I'd give 1-800-4MY-XBOX a call and see if they can straighten out getting Overwatch downloaded to your console.

    Hi, is your friends Xbox One using the preview update and your Xbox One isn't ?

    There is a known issue of games purchased on a system using the preview not being available on a system that isn't using the preview software.

    • Certain content (games, apps, DLC) purchased in the new Store may only be available on consoles enrolled in the latest Preview update. This means…

    • Games purchased on a console running the latest Preview update can only be played on that console or other consoles running the latest Preview update.

    • Games purchased via Xbox.com can be played on any console.

    • Games purchased on a console running the previous update can be played on any console.
