    Switching xbox profiles doesn't switch game profiles?


    I haven't done a ton of console gaming in recent years. But back in the day on my 360 I remember when you switch your Xbox profile, the game you're playing restarts on the newly logged in account.

    Now we just got the kids and my (boomer self) a series S, and my account is the one in charge of the family group, and whenever we switch to my kid or wife's account, the game is still logged Into my account. It's the same when switching from theirs to mine.

    I skimmed through the settings and can't find an "auto log out" for game settings. The brief interwebz search I did on this netted me 1 thread relevant to my issue, from 5 years ago, and nobody responding to the guy's question seemed to actually answer it.

    :)

    Switching xbox profiles doesn't switch game profiles?

    Hello Smooest,

    Thank you for reaching out to us about your issue!

    Can you provide more context about your issues so we can have a better understanding of it?

    Is the game that you're playing an Xbox 360 game downloaded onto the Xbox Series S or is it newer?

    What game(s) are you experiencing this issue with?

    Are you referring to an in-game profile that's still signed into the game after switching accounts? (Ex: Dad account is signing into the game and loads in-game profile. Dad switches from his account to son's account and Dad's in-game profile is still signed in)

    Switch profiles

    Press the Xbox button the console to open the guide, then choose your profile. There's an option there to sign out and switch profiles.

    Switching Profiles

    Hey there kazbear123!

    When you sign in, are you using a second controller or are you using one controller? Generally, I recommend signing out of that profile and signing into the intended profile of use unless both players are using the Xbox One. This reduces the chance for any
    profile issues.

    Hi there,

    Unfortunately nothing can be transferred between accounts-game purchases, achievements, etc. Some games allow a game save to be transferred, but no achievements can be earned from that point forward.
