    The games I purchased and downloaded can be played by another user (account) on my old console?


    After 5 years with my 360 I just bought a XBOX ONE and I decided to sell my old console. Over the years I bought a lot of games which are now (most of them) downloaded to my XBOX 360 console. Before I packed the console I deleted my profile from it
    but the games are still there.

    My question is, the person who will buy my console will it be able to play the games I bought and are already downloaded to the console? Does it need some special requirements (like having a gold account)? All the games will be available to play, even
    the ones I received for free in the games with gold program?

    If I install one of my 360 games (the games that are backwards compatible) to my new XBOX ONE console they will be deleted from my XBOX 360 console? Or they will remain also there to be played by however buys my console?

    I know that I can find out this by myself by logging onto the console with a brand new account to test if I can play the games or not but it took me some time to pack the console along with the controllers, cables and some game disc and I don’t want
    to start it all over again.

    Thank you.

    :)

    The way Xbox licences work is that the account (Gamertag) that the item was purchased on can be downloaded and played on any Xbox. Also, the first console that it was purchased/downloaded on will be able to be played by any account on that console. the licences
    can be transferred (all licences on an account) to another console once a year, for more details on that click

    here
    . In the future if you download the game with your sisters account, do it on your console first then she is free to play it on her Gamertag and you are free to play it on your console.

    Question about sharing Destiny on two different 360s

    I plan on buying Destiny and my friend is gonna download it from me. Apparently, if you wanna play Destiny on another console on your account, you have to be signed on at all times on the account that purchased it, where as if you wanna play it on the console that you purchased Destiny on, you can sign on any accounts no problem to play it.

    Now this is just what I heard, but I'm confused because my friend managed to download other games from me that I had purchased and play it without any problems. She had to sign onto my account to download it, but once she was finished, she could hop back onto her account and play it with no problems.

  4. The games I purchased and downloaded can be played by another user (account) on my old console?

    The games that were on the previous console (which is no longer in your possession) are attached/associated to your Gamertag. The person who is the new owner will not be able to play the games.

    The games which you install to your Xbox One will not be deleted from your Xbox 360. If the games are psychical copies, then you own those games and have no trouble redeeming to your Xbox One. The person who bought the Xbox 360 (or owns) will not be able
    to play those games because they are associated to your Gamertag.

    I hope this information was helpful.

    Network game transfer

    Hi there,

    The network transfer is for copying games from one console to another on the same network so a user doesn't have to redownload the game from the internet again. Handy if a user has a limit to how much data they can download in one month.

    The home console/game purchase settings still apply - any user on the purchasing account's home console can play the game.

    So you found that this game was originally purchased by another account? Are you now on a different console that this game was first downloaded to? You may need to complete a license transfer to this new console. Then any user on this console will be able
    to play the content at any time (if on another console, the original purchasing GT would have to be logged into LIVE to play it).

    I cannot use game add-ons that I've purchased on my xboxlive account

    The account that originally purchased it can still use it, but other accounts (on the same console) can't. On the old console it was actually possible to play add ons purchased with another account

    Missing Licences .

    So these games are not showing up in your Purchase History? Is it possible that some of these games were actually downloaded by another account on your old console?
