Hello, I bought the xbox series x forza horizon 5 edition the bundle and I accidentally claimed it in my work Microsoft account and I want to claim it in my gaming Microsoft account. Is there a way I can do this?

[tawny compass]

there is no way too transfer a game to an other account. But you can share https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/my-home-xbox

[limber dock]

Can I share between accounts?

And can I sign out from my other Microsoft account which I will be sharing the game from?

[limber dock]

@tawny compass

[gloomy brook]

you can set the account that claimed it as home on the console, then your other account will have access to it.

Once you lose access to said work account, you will lose access to the game.

[limber dock]

@gloomy brook so what's thus option that says claim for another account

[gloomy brook]

you cant double claim a game

[limber dock]

Then what's that option

[gloomy brook]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limber dock]

😐

Can I atleast change the email of that account?

[gloomy brook]

dont think so, as that will mess up your work account.

Maybe your last day of employment there

[limber dock]

But there's no way to change the email?

Like make it my primary email

For the account

@gloomy brook is there a way?

[meager pasture]

No you can not merge accounts

[limber dock]

No, I just want to change the email of the account

[meager pasture]

A Microsoft account is an Xbox account you can’t rip pieces of a Microsoft account apart.

The email address is the main identifier. You cant set it to the email of another account already in use.

You’ll destroy your work account

[gloomy brook]

And changing the work account email, will break your work account

[meager pasture]

Do not do this unless you want your IT department to have a Very Bad Day

[gloomy brook]

like I said, do it the last day of employment lol

[limber dock]

It's not like work account it's like my personal account

[gloomy brook]

correct, you dont own the account

[limber dock]

I do own the account I made it lol

[meager pasture]

You should just use dopeys suggestion of home console

[limber dock]

Buti won't be able to remove my other account

And I made 2 account when I got my xbox idrc if it gets destroyed I'll just make a new account

[meager pasture]

Changing the email address on multiple accounts to get that one game in the email you want (and lose all the other games that were formerly on that email) I guarantee will end in tears

[limber dock]

I don't have any other games lol

I got the xbox like yesterday

[meager pasture]

But if you don’t want to heed the warnings , yes the support site does have instructions on adding / changing / removing additional emails from an account

[limber dock]

So I can change the email of my personal account to the Gmail of my other account?

[gloomy brook]

no

[limber dock]

Isn't that what he said?

[limber dock]

^^^

[gloomy brook]

to a different account, not to an email that is already a MS account

[limber dock]

Like that?

So I'll make a new account and just change the email of the personal account

@gloomy brook

[meager pasture]

I think you should just do the home console thing

[limber dock]

But I won't be able to remove that account

From the xbox

[gloomy brook]

you can

[limber dock]

How?

[gloomy brook]

go into settings and remove the account

[limber dock]

Will the other account have the game still? If I remove the account that owns the game

[gloomy brook]

The other account will never have the game

Any account can have access to the game if you set the console as home with the account that owns the game.

[limber dock]

@gloomy brook wdym by that, so the account that has the game which is my personal account will lose the game when I share the game to my gaming account and sign out from my personal account?

[tawny compass]

you said it was your work account.

[limber dock]

I just created it as personal account

[tawny compass]

all this infomation is on the link I posted. I told you that you can not transfer the game to a other account but you can share it.
Then your asking if you can share it or will you lose it.

[limber dock]

I know I'm asking if I made the account that has the game my home xbox and gave it to the other account if I remove the account which was the my home xbox account will the other account still have the game and 2ill it work

[tawny compass]

yes

as dopey said you can remove the account once its set to your home xbox

[limber dock]

Remove which account?

The personal or the account I want the game in

[tawny compass]

either once the account that you redeemed the game too is set to the home xbox you can remove either and any account will be able to play the game.

[limber dock]

So basically what your saying is that the account which I claimed the game which is my personal account I can make it my home xbox add the other account and I will get the game on the other account and I can remove my personal account?

[tawny compass]

yes

[limber dock]

That's what I was asking this whole time lol

[tawny compass]

lol 🤷‍♀️

[gloomy brook]

you don't "get" the game on the other accounts, they can play the game as long as the owning account is set as home.

[limber dock]

So I can't remove the owning account?

[gloomy brook]

They can only play the game on that console as long as the home is set. If it is set somewhere else, the game is unplayable for the other accounts

[tawny compass]

[gloomy brook]

once home is set, yes, you can remove the account as I said.

[limber dock]

So I set the gaming account to my home xbox and remove the other one right?

[gloomy brook]

probably just easier to buy the game on the account you want to play it on

[limber dock]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[limber dock]

I don't want to spend on a game I already have bruh

[tawny compass]

the only bit of information you need is this answered over 6 hours ago everything else is you been pointless and over thinking things.

[limber dock]

Ok

[wise prairie]

My Xbox blinks and vibrate and turn off

Someone help

[limber dock]

Damn

[meager pasture]

Please start your own thread in #1091756150644555946

It gets incredibly confusing when two different issues are in the same thread.
