Hey guys ,
I hope this okay to post

Okay so I've got my Xbox downstairs and I've put my old one in my lads bedroom. He just plays Minecraft & Fortnite however because it's on my account when he's upstairs on the Xbox it won't let me play COD downstairs due to him being on my account.

Is there anyway to bypass this ? I was thinking of creating him his own Xbox account but he will lose his game progress right ?

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Cheers

I'm not sure about Minecraft but he should be able to log into the same Fortnite account on his new profile. When he plays Fortnite for the first time on his new profile, it should prompt him to either create a new Fortnite account or log into an existing one. At least that's how it was on my PS5 and PC. Worst comes to worst you could email Epic to have them switch the accounts but I would assume you can just do it from the xbox.

Alternatively you could contact Activision to remove the COD account off your old xbox and have them assign in to your new one. Telling you to contact them because IIRC they have a 1 year wait between linking COD accounts to different accounts on the same platform. Maybe they could bypass this if you explained your situation.

also you can just set his xbox to the home xbox on your account, that way he can play minecraft without being logged in. unforunately he would lose progress however he can link his epic(fortnite account) to his new xbox account that way it would carry over
