Transferring Xbox 360 Games from Xbox One to another account

DaffiestYeti470 · Jul 12, 2018

Some of the games I bought digitally with Xbox 360 are not backwards compatible with the Xbox One. I'd like to gift them to another person who still has an Xbox 360. Can anyone tell me if that's possible and how?

:)

transfering xbox live content form one xbox to another

Unfortunately what you are describing is transferring licenses from one Xbox account to another (assuming he has his own account). You can find some

more information on license transferring here.

Nothing can be transferred between accounts.

But I own the digital rights, don't I

I saw that I could transfer licenses here https://support.xbox.com/en-AU/xbox-360/store/download-content#fdfc84e8631a40bba12ca4b7d73ab71a

But I don't know how to do it one the Xbox One.

The license transfer tool is to transfer your licenses to another console in case you get a new console, not to transfer licenses between accounts. There is no way to transfer digital licenses to another account.

This is true, you purchased the right to play a digital game. This right extends to you alone (although you can share content on your console). However, any attempt to transfer the content to another gamertag is considered gamertag theft and could result
in the console(s) and/or gamertag(s) being banned from Live.

So I paid the same amount I'd pay instore for a title I can't use on the new console or sell?

Guess that teaches me to buy through xbox live.

Of course you can play the game on a new console, but you just cannot transfer the game to another account. So to play the game on any console, just log in with the account that purchased the game.

Except some of those games aren't backwards compatible with Xbox One. So I can't play them.

They aren't BC titles yet. However, you can request or upvote prior requests for these titles at Xbox Ideas, powered by UserVoice/and keep an eye on
Xbox Live's Major Nelson for title updates.

Hello,

Sorry, this is not possible to do. The use of the license transfer system in this way is not prohibited. A license transfer cannot be used to transfer one piece of content from one console to another. It transfers all licenses from one Xbox 360 to another Xbox
360, not from one Xbox LIVE account to another Xbox LIVE account.

Actually you can genious pay attention to the last line:

Can I transfer content from one Xbox LIVE account to another?

No. Content licenses are stored in the Xbox 360 console rather than in the Xbox LIVE account.

To enable someone else's Xbox LIVE account to use your content licenses, you must download your Xbox LIVE profile and then transfer your content licenses to that person's Xbox 360 console.

•To download your Xbox LIVE profile to a different Xbox 360 console, see Download, move, or delete your Xbox LIVE profile.

•To transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another, see Can I transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another?

After you've downloaded your Xbox LIVE profile and transferred your content licenses to another Xbox 360 console, the content can be used by all the profiles on that console.

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.

You can transfer licences from one Xbox to another, using the same account, but there's no way to transfer licences from one account to another.

To let someone else use the content license, you must download your Xbox Live profile to their Xbox 360 console. Then, transfer your content licenses to that Xbox 360 console.

To download your Xbox Live profile to a different Xbox 360 console, see
Download your Xbox Live profile to a different Xbox 360 console or redownload it.
To transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another, see above section,

Can I transfer a content license from one Xbox 360 console to another?

After you transfer your content, other profiles can use the content on that console.
