  1. Upgrading to Series X but need advice about transferring profile as my son uses same account


    Hi All,

    I'm finally getting a series X soon which is great news of course, my son with be getting my xbox one S that i will no longer need.

    However, we have both been using the same profile for various different games.

    I wanted to know if i can have my account on both xbox's , they won't be in the same house though.

    And would we be able to use the account at the same time on both devices? If i set-up him up a new profile and pay for another Ultimate subscription( which i am happy to do), then he will lose 6 years of grinding from my account , is there any way we can solve this conundrum? It's more about the save points in games and the work he's put into his games to level up characters and complete in game challenges.

    Thanks for any assistance in advance,

    ThePonyNinja.

    :)

    Upgrading to Series X but need advice about transferring profile as my son uses same account

    Hi,

    Yes this is what i thought sadly.

    So essentially if i set up new account for my son he will use all his achievements from our shared account as i suspected.

    I would give him the account but i've grinded Apex and few other games since day 1 so i would lose all my progress if took the new account myself, unless there's a way of transferring my progress to a new gamer profile?

    Downloading the games again is a necessary evil either way of course.

    Thanks for assist

    Yes, you can have your profile on both consoles, but you cannot play games on both consoles at the same time using the same account. If you want to do that, then you should create a new account for your son. The only gripe with that is he will have to restart all of his games again.

    Pre download Xbox Series X games

    Not really...

    Xbox Series X games / upgrades / updates has to be installed onto the Series X internal or expansion card SSD,

    You can have Xbox One games on your external hard drive that will get an Series X upgrade but the games will need to be transferred to the Series X and then the Series X upgrade will need to be downloaded onto the Series X SSD,

    As an example...

    I have Marvel Avengers on my external hard drive that will get the Series X upgrade and I will transfer the game over to the Series X SSD ready to download and update the game to the Series X version when available.

    I bought a digital game on xbox one, if i buy the series x will i be able to play the game on it or i would have to buy it again on series x?

    Games are tied to your account, not your console. Your digital games come with you when you upgrade.

    Just need to sign in with same account on the Series X.

    Xbox series x no sound

    My issue is the same. My additional input: I just bought the X-Box Series X 2 weeks ago. I transferred all my games over. At first, every game I tried worked fine. Then the system suddenly decided yesterday to upgrade the newer games to the Series X versions of the games. Every game that is older and doesn't have a Series X upgrade works perfectly. It's only the games that have upgraded to Series X versions of the games that have "no audio" issues.

    For reference, I do have a Samsung smart TV as well, a I've been reading other with this issue may also have. I have audio on the dashboard.

    Hoping for a fix soon. Thanks.
