I'm Selling my Xbox 360 and Have Questions about Games

If you format the hard drive via Settings - System - Storage - highlight hard drive and press Y. This will delete everything on that is currently present on the hard drive.

Be aware that a Family pass code will not be reset via these steps, in order to reset that you will need to contact Xbox Support.

But this will remove all the details from the console, and future owners will not be able to access your account or play games that were previously installed.

Please let us know if you have any questions or further concerns about preparing your console for re-sale.

Hello Hdandred,

Thanks for coming to the forums. If you intend to keep the HD, then the next owner will not have access to the games. All this data is tied to your profile. But as on the Xbox 360, if you did not have cloud save enabled you will need the HD for all save
data. You own the games no question, as digital purchases of games tied to profile and disc are disc games. The save data is stored on the 360 HD unless like stated you enabled cloud saves. On the Xbox one, S, and X all data is automatically saved to the cloud.

So in short if you remove the hard drive, then delete any of your information of the internal storage. The next owner will not be able to access anything of yours.

Hope this helps.

Brad

You can play Xbox 360 games that is part of the current backward compatible library on any of the Xbox One family of devices.

As digital games is linked to the account not the console.

Keep in mind that sharing your account information with anyone goes against the Code of Conduct and you risk having the account banned.

Hi! no, the games are tied to the account, so if you delete nobody can access those games.

I'm sorry about my english. An autorized device, is the console. The question is the following: Is the use of a third party hard drive (sell like a compatible xbox 360 hard drive) an unauthorized upgrade?
