Ownership of Games between Aliases' accounts

ArmandoM56 · Jan 2, 2020

My friend wants to make a new Email Address to use since he no longer wishes to use an old address. He asked me if everything he owns like games and applications in his old account will be transferred to his newly added Alias account that has been made the
primary account name.

He basically asking in advance will his owned games be transferred to the new address that's made the primary and will it allow his to continue to play those games without needing to repurchase them.

Quick answer is Yes it will.

The only thing that it is doing is adding the new email to the account and making that email the email used to sign into the account. All purchases and everything go with the account itself.

Microsoft does this because they know people change emails and sometimes no longer have access to those email accounts like if they use the ISP for their email and no longer have that ISP they would no longer have access to that email address.

This page will explain how your friend can change their Microsoft account address and still maintain all their content
ownership, game saves, etc. Hope it helps!

Unfortunately there is no way to transfer ownership of the digital game between accounts

You can't you can only change aliases if it's not an outlook account

And nothing can be transfered between accounts

Sorry, but content (specifically, ownership of content) cannot be transferred between accounts.
