Downloaded Alan Wake on xbox one, how can I get it to play on a 2nd account in my 360?

Tranmere Dan UK · May 22, 2021

I downloaded Alan Wake on my xbox one. I'm setting up my 360 for my father. All the existing games I've downloaded digitally through my account can be accessed through his profile apart from Alan Wake. The only difference is Alan Wake I entered the digital code on the xbox one. I assumed that Alan Wake being a 360 game it would be accessible on both console to any profile?

Is there anyway that it can be accessed on my father's account on the 360? Would license transfer be an option or likely to mess things up? I've never done it before.

Hello there!

Unfortunately in order to play the game he will need to be signed in with your account, since there is no way to share the licence using the home on Xbox 360. However, you can try checking this link if you want more information about network transfer Use network transfer to copy games and apps to another Xbox | Xbox Support.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out, Devasqua.

To check, is this happening with the original "Alan Wake" or "Alan Wake's American Nightmare"?

Also, if you're playing on an Xbox One console through backward compatibility, you don't see the game under My Games & Apps>Ready to Install?

When you sign into your Microsoft/Xbox account on your
Xbox 360 Purchase History page, what do you see for Alan Wake?

I agree, tCruzin. Would love to play Alan Wake (remastered) on my Xbox One. Was one of my favorites, with a great story, on the 360.

To clarify, I want to play the Alan Wake game and the DLC on the 360...not the XB1.

The Alan Wake game installed on the 360 from the store when I redeemed it via the web based store and choose to send to my download que. However, only the game downloaded to the 360. No DLC. Added, when I go to the web based store or on my 360, the game
and the DLC both have prices and give no appearance that I now own them, even though it literally just downloaded and installed the Alan Wake game.

It's a little comical to think this was intentional, as it's a 360 game playable on the XB1 and touted for it's backwards compatibility. Yet, you can't download and play the same content ON YOUR 360.

Ironic.
