Yes, you can transfer Xbox games, but with some stipulations. For digital games, you can log into your Xbox account on a different console and access your games library to download the games, as purchases are tied to your Microsoft account. However, physical Xbox games can be played on any console as long as the disc is inserted. Game sharing is another option, allowing you to share your entire game library with a friend or family member's Xbox console, by setting it as your 'Home Xbox'.
