Gamertag / Account Games Bound

I am in the middle of planning migration of my gamertag and 'm a bit lost.

So i have Microsoft Account 1, which has my primary Gamertag 1 in Region A.

Also i have Microsoft Account 2 with Gamertag 2 in Region B. There are some games purchased also.

I want to migrate my Gamertag 1 into Microsoft Account 2.

I learned how to do it but i wonder what will happen to games which i bought for Xbox 360 and Xbox One.

Are games bound to Gamertag or Microsoft Account?

Can i merge Gamertags and purchased games?

Also i am planning to buy a new 360. Will i be able to restore currently owned 360 games on a new 360 after gamertag migration?

TY!

:)

Gamertags?

Hi,

there is no way, to remove a gamertag from an existing account.

The gamtertag is bound to an account which might be in use.

 

Hi there,

1. Games are bound to the Xbox Live Account (Gamertag) so they move with it to the other Microsoft Account.

2. Gamertags (Xbox Live Accounts) can not be merged.

3. You can redownload games via the download history on that account (in case of the account is migrated, you can only download the games available in the region)

Just be aware that migrating an account can have consequences to purchased games, for example games that aren't available in the target migration region, won't be available to be redownloaded. See this link for information (and consequences) for a Migration:

1. There is no way to merge two gamertags.

2. Any Microsoft account can only have one gamertag associated.

3. Migrating a gamertag two a different Microsoft account will take over all digital purchases and subscriptions as they are bounded to the gamertag, not the Microsoft account. Any existing credits will not be transferred as they are bounded to the Microsoft
account.

4. When buying a new Xbox 360 the games being purchased with the migrated gamertag will still be available, but you should also consider to have the licenses transferred to the new 360 then. If course there is no transfer of save games possible.

5. There is a difference in the license models of the 360 and the One. In the 360 digital purchases are bound to the console and the purchasing gamertag. On the One they are primarily bound to the purchasing gamertag. There is no license transferring on
the One.

So in summary, there is unfortunately no way to have both gamertags merged. To migrate gamertag 1 into account 2 you have to get rid of gamertag 2 which means the games purchased by gamertag 2 could get lost if not transferred to the new 360 then, purchases
for the One will be lost anyhow by this. So for the One it would be best to have both accounts installed on the One and have the one set as home console for both accounts, so games purchased by any of the accounts could be played by both of them. For the 360
the licenses of both gamertags should be transferred to the new 360 so both accounts are able to play them.

But no merging of the accounts at all.
