Switching linked Xbox accounts

Brandon Faulks · Dec 1, 2022

So my girlfriend owns an Xbox series X and I own a PS5. She told me I could set up a Xbox account on her console, which I did, this was a couple of weeks ago. However, I used my normal email which I use everyday. The address I used is different to my outlook as I never use mail on my PC. I have just gone back to my PC today, and was looking around my Microsoft account and realised I already had a Xbox account from years ago when I first got my laptop which is currently linked to my Microsoft account. Is there a way I can unlink/remove the Xbox account from my Microsoft account and replace it with the new one on my girlfriends Xbox?

Thank you in advance.

Sorry to say but any kind of content transfer between Microsoft account can't be made

Each Xbox profile is linked to one Microsoft account

You can add and remove emails linked to a Microsoft account, but this doesn't apply to existing outlook.com *microsoft domain* emails

Is your Microsoft account linked to a different Switch account or your Switch account linked to a different Microsoft account?

Hi Kristin, I hope you're doing well. I am an Independent advisor, and I am here to help you.

Yes, you can. As long as your Switch and Xbox account is linked to your Epic account, you will be able to play the same account on both Switch and Xbox.

To check the accounts linked to your Epic, kindly go to this link https://www.epicgames.com/account/connections and ensure that you connect the correct Epic account to link your Switch and Xbox accounts.

This way, when you launch Fortnite on Switch or Xbox console, you will be able to use the account where you have all your progress and in-game purchases.
