  1. Transfer ownership of game from old account to new account


    So back in 2016/2017 I got my first xbox and I made an account and my dad put lots of parental controls on that account to the point where the account was unusable on top of that he forgot the pin that was needed to do anything such as ad a new game access
    settings etc so my solution was to create a new account which is now my main account, fast forward to now I recently received a pc and I am wondering why I can't play ark on my pc (because it's a play anywhere game) and I realized I bought it on my old account
    and since GameShare type features don't exist i need a solution to transfer ownership from standbyspoon906 to cloudytomato522 and I know that gifting an already bought game doesn't work to prevent people from selling it for profit but I was wondering if someone
    could help me

    :)

    Transferring and moving games to a new account. Help pls :)

    Ownership of games, and other purchases, cannot be transferred between accounts.

    If the old account keeps the console as its 'Home Xbox' you will continue to be able to play them, and can make new purchases on the new account, but you cannot transfer ownership of the games over to the new account.

    I know this isn't the answer you want, but I hope the clarification helps.

    Transfer ownership of game from old account to new account

    Nothing can be transferred between account. You would either need to repurchase the content on your current account or work on gaining access to the old account.

    Lincence Transfer Issues

    Hey there Unkown! That's because license transfers aren't used for sharing DLC/Games without paying for them. The purpose of a license transfer is to transfer ownership of content from one console to another console; not to transfer ownership from one account
    to another.

    For example, proper use of a license transfer would be: You have an original Xbox 360 console and you buy an Xbox 360 S console. You then use a license transfer to transfer ownership of all of your DLC from your original console to your new console.

    Game transfer

    Unfortunately no. Account ownership is not meant to be transferred between people and nothing can be transferred between accounts. It would be better for his brother to start with a new account so he can continue using the same account he was using.

    If both consoles are an Xbox One. He can sign into the old account on the new One and set that console as the Home console for that account. He would be able to access the game from his new account, but he will not have access to any of his progress and
    will have to start over. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

    Problem With Skyrim Add Ons

    Hey there Fang! When content is purchased on the Xbox Live marketplace, it is bound to the account that purchased it as well as the console it was originally purchased on. You'll need to make sure that your sister purchased all of those DLCs on the console
    where you're trying to play them. If she didn't, then you'll need to be logged into her account to have access to the DLCs.

    The first thing I would check would be which console she originally bought the content on. Then, once you confirm that you should be able to access the content (by either being on the original purchasing console or being logged into her account), you'll need
    to make sure that all the content is downloaded and installed. If you need to redowload it, you can use your download history, as Joey suggested. Here's the link again:

    support.xbox.com/.../download-content-history
    .

    There's no way to transfer ownership of content from one account to another. License transfers are used to transfer ownership from one console to another, not to transfer ownership from one account to another. For example: If you were to buy a new console and
    wanted to transfer the ownership of your content from the old console to the new console, you would use a license transfer.
