Move game achievements to a Child's account

WRZ450 · Aug 28, 2016

until now, my son has used my account for all of his games, so all of the achievements and unlocks are associated with my Account. I setup an Account for my son because he's getting old enough to where I wanted to put content restrictions in place. After
spending an hour going through that terribly frustrating process, I've finally got his account up and going. We just plugged in Minecraft for him to play, and it's like he's starting over. I'm trying to figure out how to get all of his achievements off of
my profile and on to his. What I have read so far doesn't sound encouraging. Hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction?

transfer child account

My child's account and gamer tag is on an account that has an old email of mine. I would like to move it to an account that has a personal/permanent email address. is that possible?

Having the same issue but with Honeysdie in Riften.

Same advice as in other similar threads -- make sure you have a child's bed and a child's chest at your intended location. Otherwise, you won't have the option to move the family there.

Xbox live achievements are individual trophies rewarded for gaming under a live account and as such is not possible to transfer achievements from one account to another.

No, unfortunately you can't move achievements to other accounts. The child accounts have to play the games if they also want the achievements.

Hi there,

Unfortunately there is not way to move games or achievements from one account to another. These things are tied to each individual account and cannot be transferred or replaced with another account. You can only share game licenses with other accounts on
the same Xbox through the
Home console feature and this would be the only way the child account could play the games on the parent account.

You may want to try creating an alternate parent account and create a new family group with that new account and then invite the adult account your son uses and select it as a child account to the family group when it asks and I believe you may be able to
have better control of that adult account your child uses.

Give this a try and let us know if it works.

While content (games and most DLC) can be shared via the home console feature you cannot transfer things like saved games from one account to another.

You're son will essentially be starting over on a new account and will have to start over on games and achievements.

What a pity that this is not possible. You probably understand that it will be war in our house if he has to start all over again. I hope that within the very useful family function something can be found on this in the future. I'm going to threaten that
he will have to start again if he doesn't limit his xbox use. Thanks for the tip !

Unfortunately it is not possible at this time to merge accounts in that way. He is still able to access downloaded games through home xbox settings using his GT but not game progresses or achievements saved on yours.
