To transfer games from your broken Xbox to a new one, first ensure that all your games were previously saved to the cloud via Xbox Live. On your new Xbox, sign in with your Microsoft account used on the old console. Navigate to ‘My Games & Apps,’ then ‘Full Library,’ and go to ‘All Owned Games.’ Here, you’ll see all your previously purchased games. Download them onto your new Xbox. If you've enabled automatic cloud saves, your game saves will automatically sync once you start each game.
