    Transfer xbox one games to new gamertag?


    Hi all,

    My son is getting a new xbox one S for Christmas. He has spent a fair bit on DLC on his Dad's console inc extras for Forza and Fortnite. Is there any way of transferring this over to his new console which will be set up as a brand new account with a new
    gamertag? I hate the thought of all this money going down the drain!

    Thanks

    :)

    Transfer xbox one games to new gamertag?

    You can gameshare. First, login to the new console with your account and set the console as your home console. Then add a new profile for your son, and set your son's account to automatically login to this console. Now your son will have access to all
    the games you own. However, he will have to earn achievement again on his new account.

    Hello!

    In order to have access to certain content such as Skins and emotes for the game Fortnite he would have to be signed into the account that owns the content. Otherwise, the new account will not be able to access the unlocked skins etc. Game sharing will work
    as mentioned above but that only works for Games and Subscriptions not in game content.

    Hope this helps.

    Gamertag / Account Games Bound

    1. There is no way to merge two gamertags.

    2. Any Microsoft account can only have one gamertag associated.

    3. Migrating a gamertag two a different Microsoft account will take over all digital purchases and subscriptions as they are bounded to the gamertag, not the Microsoft account. Any existing credits will not be transferred as they are bounded to the Microsoft
    account.

    4. When buying a new Xbox 360 the games being purchased with the migrated gamertag will still be available, but you should also consider to have the licenses transferred to the new 360 then. If course there is no transfer of save games possible.

    5. There is a difference in the license models of the 360 and the One. In the 360 digital purchases are bound to the console and the purchasing gamertag. On the One they are primarily bound to the purchasing gamertag. There is no license transferring on
    the One.

    So in summary, there is unfortunately no way to have both gamertags merged. To migrate gamertag 1 into account 2 you have to get rid of gamertag 2 which means the games purchased by gamertag 2 could get lost if not transferred to the new 360 then, purchases
    for the One will be lost anyhow by this. So for the One it would be best to have both accounts installed on the One and have the one set as home console for both accounts, so games purchased by any of the accounts could be played by both of them. For the 360
    the licenses of both gamertags should be transferred to the new 360 so both accounts are able to play them.

    But no merging of the accounts at all.

    Cant transfer items

    I believe that you have an xbox with multiple accounts on it. Minecraft was purchased on that xbox, but with a different account. The reason your able to play it is because the license is on that xbox thus granting your xbox privilege to play it. The only
    way you'll be able to play that game on the new xbox is to either buy it or transfer the other gamertag that did buy it to the new xbox. With the transfer of gamertag with the license to the new xbox it will become playable for you, but I do advise to transfer
    the other gamertag first and then yours and just go into the settings to make yours the main gamertag.

    GAMES not WORKING

    When you purchase something, you get a license to use the product for your console and your gamertag. I assume you are using a different xbox, so you would want to do a license transfer.

    Navigate to the Settings Hub and select Account.

    Select License Transfer.

    Carefully read the prompt and select Continue.

    License transfers only transfer content from one XBOX 360 to another and on the same gamertag. When you do a license transfer everything transfers, it's a all or none sort of situation. You can then use your new gamertag to play on your new xbox.
