Moving a Game Center account to a new apple id

I recently made a new Apple ID and would like to move my Game Center account from my old, temporary Apple ID (which I was using on a old iPad 2) to my new one. I have no idea how to do so. Please help!

iPad (6th gen) WiFi

Good morning WarioBoi116,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


I understand you created a new Apple ID account instead of changing the email address of the one you previously had. Data and purchases can't be moved or transferred from one Apple ID account to another. In the Settings app on your iPhone, you can choose a different Apple ID for Game Center, but you may need to contact the developer to see if they will transfer account data on their end.


  1. Open the Settings app
  2. Tap Game Center
  3. At the bottom of the screen tap "Use different Apple ID for Game Center" and follow the instructions.

Take care.
