    Transfer or share gamertag progress


    We set up an xbox 360 gamertag several years ago for my eldest. We have since progressed to an xbox one and xbox one x - we have both these consoles setup and no longer have the 360.

    My youngest now plays Fortnite and his account is linked to the same gamertag (the only one we have). This seems to have been a big mistake! Despite having two xboxes, they cant both play at the same time as they both want to log in with the same gamertag.
    They rarely want to play the same game, but they both want to use the existing gamer tag as all their progress is attached to it.

    Can anyone suggest anything? Ive looked at creating new gamertag and linking epic games account to it but i dont think this is possible without losing all progress? Both my son and i would be pretty gutted as he has ‘earned’ and spent a fair amount of vbucks.

    Does any of the family options allow them to share the same gamertag at the same time?

    Xbox isnt my thing so I feel like I’mfumbling around in the dark - grateful for any suggestions. Very annoying that despite being lucky enough to have two xboxes, there are still arguments over whose turn it is! Thank you for any help offered!

    :)

    That’s great! Glad you got it sorted.

    Nice to see the eldest stepping up to get things moving. Give him nudge in our direction to see if he wants to become an Xbox Ambassador. He’s got just what we need!

    Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply. You saved me a lot of time and frustration trying to do the impossible!

    For anyone else who might be asking the same in the future.....we signed into second x box with original profile, set that as the ‘home’ console (i think you can have 2 possibly 3 consoles set as home), then we created a new gamertag in the ‘family’ (persuaded
    eldest to start a fresh as no actual in game purchases been made on his games). By being part of x box family, he can access all xbox live. Seems easy when you know how!

    Thanks again for all your help.

    It seems that even though this random account is created and you haven't created an Epic account yet, go and create one and link the 'old' gamer-tag to it. This apparently transfers all the purchases from the random account to the newly created one. Then
    remove the old link and just add the new one and all the purchases should still be available.

    Details on linking an account can be found here:

    Details on a reddit thread I found:

    Good luck!

    Hi Lmw_438,

    Lets see if we can help...

    Did you link the original gamer-tag to an Epic account before you started purchasing items? If you didn't, then Epic creates a random account and links the account to it. When this is done, I don't see a way of unlinking that random account with the gamer-tag,
    as you can't log-in to a randomly created Epic account on a PC.

    But if the Epic account was created first and then the gamer-tag was linked after, you maybe able to sign-in the Epic account on a PC, remove the old gamer-tag and link a new one. Transferring all purchases to a new account.

    I'll do a bit of research and let you know.
