Gamertag history migration

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:

support.xbox.com/.../change-region

Not if the account was Migrated. When an account is migrated you lose any downloads that were downloaded before the Migrated. It even stated so on the FAQ when it was the Migration Tool was available. I think it does this by wiping out your Download History.

You mean you moved ?

You cannot download region locked content if your physical region and account region no longer are the same

As you cannot migrate nor does move regions on the fly

If it is still in your purchase history then there was no migration

As they delete the purchase history

That would be a very nice feature but they should have a setting allowing the player to enable/disable the feature on their account.

I changed mine several years back for a very good reason and I wouldn't do it again because it's my identity now. Several of the 85-95 people on my friends list change their gamertags yearly and sometimes more often than that. I forget who they are and
just delete them. When I look at my list now, I only know who a third of them are and I'm not going to ask them or try to remember who the rest are. They just have to go, sadly. (unless they are worth the effort of remembering)
