    Minecraft is not a Play Anywhere title, so you would need to purchase the console version in order to play it on the console.

    Voucher Redeemed on Parent Account

    Hi Paul,

    Although gift cards can’t be moved or transferred between accounts once redeemed, you can gift games to right account from the balance. If you were trying to redeem the voucher codes on your son’s account to purchase game(s), consider this as a possible workaround.

    Refer to:

    Help with giving digital games as gifts | Xbox Support

    If your son is playing on an Xbox One or Series X|S console, then another workaround would be to purchase the game on your account and then designate the console as your Home Xbox. This way, any account/profile (including your son’s) can access your games, DLCs and subscriptions. This also enables the ability to play offline.

    Hope this helps.

    Cod Xbox one to series s

    Hi, JoeMcShane1!

    You cannot transfer purchased game discs to the Xbox Series S. If you own an Xbox Series S and want to play games that you own on disc, you'll need to purchase them again from the Microsoft Store. If you plan on playing disc games, you may want to get the Xbox Series X instead of the Xbox Series S, as it has a drive.

    Do I need to use network transferring to put a game I own on a different console

    Depends .

    If it is a disk game and you are trying to transfer to an xbox one s digital or the xbox series s then no you are waisting your time

    Those are digital only consoles and disks installs require the bluesy or dvd to validate the install

    Digitally purchased game's can be transfered to save time yes

    If it's to an xbox one x or regular xbox one s or xbox series x disk and digital will work with them
