Can you gift or transfer games to another Xbox Live account?

I think so? From their website:

Network transfer lets one Xbox console copy games and apps from another console, so long as they’re on the same home network. Copying this way can be faster than downloading another copy of the same game or app. If you have a metered internet connection, this can also save you money.

Any Xbox One (original Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X) can be either the source or the destination console.

1. On the Xbox you want to copy from, go to Settings > Network > Network transfer and check the box to allow network transfer. This makes that Xbox visible to other consoles on the same network.

2. Once you’ve allowed transferring from the “host” Xbox, turn on the console onto which you’ll be copying games and apps, and go to the same settings page. Your host Xbox should be listed.

3. Select the Xbox you want to copy from, choose the items to copy, then select Copy selected.

I'm not really sure. I am also not sure if what I posted is even helpful to what he wants to do. I would like to know if it is possible though.

basically i want him to be able to play the two games I bought for him, on his xbox with a different gamertag. If the network share thing is the way to go. I will try that. I read something about it online, but i figured this board would know with it's infinite KB's.

Try the network share thing first, I always thought that was just a way to transfer downloaded games to another xbox in your house without needing to download them again, but honestly I've never even tried it.

The solution I posted will absolutely work, it will even work if you dont live in the same household. I buy all the games and my nephew has access to them and can play them with me online.



I can tell you that these are your only two options. I've worked on these consoles since about 2 years before release. Initially Xbox had a family share feature that they ultimately cut because of the always online backlash that would have been awesome imo.
