  1. Keeping games from removed account


    Hey I just bought my cousins old Xbox One since he got the X, it’s still logged into his account and he wants it removed since everytime I log in it goes through his account and signs him off temporarily.

    My question is if I remove his account from the Xbox will I have whatever content downloaded, so far with his account in the system I can play the games on my profile and seperate account I want to make sure the games on the system memory will still work.
    Thank you.

    :)

    Xbox is telling me to get Gold even though I have it?

    Another way to attempt to fix this, is to remove the account from the xbox in settings->accounts-> remove accounts. After that is removed login with that gametag again to force the console to fetch your live subscription data. In rare cases your Xbox account and live account will lose sync.

    GwG Title Removed From Account

    Gold or silver account? because it resets to trial if your gold expires.

    Any Digital games go with the account themselves.

    Let me explain how the system works.

    No matter what console a profile/account is signed into it will always be able to play their digital games and use any subscription that they have.

    A profile can set ONE console as their home console and any other profile on that console can play their digital games and use any subscription that account has. even if the profile is removed from the console

    so in your situation you can create a new profile/account on that console and as long as that console is set as your cousins home console then you can still play his digital games and use any subscription on that console.

    The thing is this if your cousin wants anyone else to play his games on his new console without him being signed in at the same time then he would have to set his new console as the home console and you would lose the capabilities of playing his games on
    your console.

    Keep in mind also that a profile can only switch which console it has set as its home console FIVE times a year.

    This is the only way that you would be able to play your cousins games on the console that he gave to you.

    I would remove your account from the xbox and keep games and apps they may resolve your issue

    Removing Games From Account

    [quote user="cillov656"]No, I don't have any achievements. Soooo, how can I remove it?[/quote]Really? Did you play the game at all? You get 1 five point achievement in GTA IV just for starting the game.

    Removing Games From Account

    If you just want to delete the save game information for it, you can go to your System Settings > Memory > Storage Device > Games and press "Y" on Grand Theft Auto IV to delete it. If you purchased the game on your account via the marketplace, there is no
    way to remove the license from the account itself.
