How do I transfer a game pass onto my console?

Josh Woodstock · Feb 26, 2023

I purchased a game pass and activated it through the app. The content hasn't transfered to the xbox series s device so I don't know how to resolve this.

Absolutely nothing helpful from the support page and it seems impossible to be able to deal with a human to talk me though the process.

Sadly not. When attempting to log into my account on the xbox I'm getting the following message:

Fix this on the web

There's a problem with your account. Fix it at account.live.com then come back to sign in.

However, there's nothing on that link or the xbox to explain what the problem is or how to fix it.

As long as you're signed into the same account you used to redeem the code, then it'll automatically be on the console when you sign in unless you redeemed a code for PC Game Pass and not console or Game Pass Ultimate.

Just licence transfer the online pass and his premium (if he has it) onto your console, simple.

OK, it wasn't the licenses transfer i needed. How do i get the achievements that my profile has on here onto my new xbox? I have no way of manually transferring.

I just got a new 250GB xbox and it was a bit of a pain to transfer all the files over without the Xbox File Transfer Kit. I recommend buying one of these if you can afford it, to make your life easier.

Without the kit, I had to do the following steps to transfer everything over;

1. Transfer licenses of all purchased games and add-ons.

2. Add all previously downloaded games and add-ons to my download queue.

3. Allow 2-3 hours for everything to download on the new console.

4. Copy all my saved games from the old console onto the cloud one at a time.

5. Copy all my saved games from the cloud onto the new console one at a time.

Took about 4 hours to do all this, what a massive pain.

Go Flames!
