Transfer Game Progress to Child Account

SkiTown · Jun 23, 2021

I think this question has been asked before but I really wanted to see if we could get it on the Xbox team's radar to see if a solution is possible. My son started playing on my Microsoft account and has accumulated game progress and purchased items. I want him to play on his own Microsoft account but there is no way for him to transfer his progress and so he's really sad about "starting all-over again". It would be great if there was a way to do this. Maybe as a one off so it just deals with this specific situation and doesn't get abused.

Any chance we could get this on the roadmap for the team?

You can create a child account on your current parental account. You can not transfer games, saved progress etc. You can set the parental account to Home Xbox and the child account would have access to the games but not the saved progress.

It is not Microsofts fault that a child account was not set up.

No, it's not possible to transfer game progress from one account to another. Your child will have to start the games again on his account.

I am having the same issue. I need to switch my account that my son has been using to a child account to limit his time. Either that or find a way to switch his game progress & money to his child account.

There is no way to demote an adult account to a child account and there is no way to transfer progress and currency to another account.

Sorry but no. Nothing can be transferred between accounts.
