How can I get more switches

angelcadfy · May 7, 2023

So I can’t use my Xbox pretty much because I’m using my hotspot to even be able to play my offline story mode games, I have no more switches & I did the survey to get 1 more and that’s gone. I have 2 Xbox’s with different accounts and games, & neither can be set as my home. So pretty much I have to wait until next year. Is there a way to get more switches & if not This sucks prolly gonna switch back to PlayStation since there’s unlimited switching as primary

playstation does not have unlimited switches either you can only activate and deactivate a console every 6 months, how on earth did you go through 6 switches in a year.

If you already used the survey, all you can do is wait for the limit to reset on its own.

There used to be a thing in one of the support articles that said the following:

"If your console shows you’ve made five home Xbox switches for the year and you need assistance, select Help when you see the message, Can’t make this your home Xbox. You may be eligible to receive an exception."

But i dont see this mentioned in any of the support documentation anymore so i dont know if its a thing anymore.

That being said other than what i posted above there is no other way to get extra switches other than simply waiting.

5 switches per year should really be more than enough though unless you are using it in a way that it wasnt intended for.

Hi! My name is Ben a fellow member here in the community and hope you are doing well!

I understand you would like to get more switches but when it comes to this, the current limit Xbox impose is up to five times in any one-year period. If you reach your limit for the year, it will show you the next available date you can change it.

Aside from this, I am afraid even Xbox support itself cannot give any switches based on the note from the website as well stating Note: Customer support can’t offer additional switches. So only option is to really wait my apologies!

Here is the link for reference https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne... this is also been discussed in one of the community forum just in case you may want to check https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/...

I hope the information helps somehow on how the switches works. I know this isn't the solution were expecting but if you have further questions feel free to post back in the community and we fellow members will try our best to offer assistance.

Kind regards,

Ben
