  1. New Xbox, New Account....can I transfer a single game to another account?


    Hello, I am a parent and have been playing a game on my child's xbox that we got as a christmas gift almost 2 years ago now. My question is this, I would like to play the game under my own account and name on an xbox I am buying for myself, however, I have
    spent literally 100's of dollars on the xbox we currently have under my child's gamer tag. I plan on buying an xbox for myself like I stated previously, however, I will not buy another xbox if I am unable to transfer the game I have been playing on my daughter's
    account to my new account, as I could probably buy 4 xbox's with the amount of money I have sunk into this one game is just insane.

    I have tried looking this information up for hours on the microsoft xbox website with no luck at all, and it is very disappointing to see that your avenues of support seem to be useless, I mean most of the customer service via phone should all be able to
    be done at employee's homes, in a digital age this is unacceptable

    :)

    New Xbox, New Account....can I transfer a single game to another account?

    No, this really didn't help, I know about being able to game share, I am buying my own xbox and want to play my game on my new console, from what you have replied just to me seems like a copy and pasted reply to my question, however, it looks like I am
    NOT able to transfer my account from my daughters account to a new xbox, in which case microsoft will not get any of my money on a new xbox if I am unable to transfer a single account to a new box under a new GT and diff email....this should be an easy transfer
    and I refuse to spend 100's on a game that I have already spent 100's on, that is just insanity, not gonna happen.....so sorry Microsoft, that just cost ya unit sold, however, will eventually get me on X series when it is no longer sold out

    New Xbox, New Account....can I transfer a single game to another account?

    Hey Taylor

    Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently experiencing inquiring about transferring over a title to another account.

    By using the
    Home Xbox
    you are able to share any digital games and Xbox subscriptions you have on one account to everyone on a specific console. This would allow you to play any games you bought on one account using another one, as only the person that bought said digital
    game can use it.

    Keep in mind that in-game currencies, subscriptions, games, save data and achievements

    cannot be transferred over to another account
    . If you have save data on one account, and plan on using this account on another console, you can transfer your save data over. As long as you were connected to the internet the last time you played this game,
    the save data will sync to the
    cloud storage
    and allow you to pick up where you left off whereever you go.

    I hope this was able to clarify any confusion this may have caused.

    Hey Taylor

    Thank you for taking the time to reply to this thread.

    As you have stated, an account on a game is considered save data, which would be something that you are unable to transfer to another account.

    Unless that game has you specifically associate a third-party account to mange your content in-game, [Similar to how Epic Games handles their accounts] you're in-game account is strictly tied your Microsoft account.

    As there is no further info that we can provide to you on this matter, we will now be locking this thread.

    If you have any other questions or concerns that differ from this matter, please, feel free to create a new thread and we will cater to you there.

    Thank you for being a part of the Xbox Family and we wish you a wonderful day.

    Unlink an account

    You cannot transfer any games etc between accounts or to new account. You can transfer account to another console by loging on the Console.

    Questions about deleting a profile's data, transferring a profile's data to another profile, and OneDrive

    nothing can be transferred to another account, you would have to create a new account and start from scratch, if you make the console the home xbox with your dads account then you can use the games purchased on the dads account with your new account.
