Is there a way to play previously purchased games on your xbox account on pc?

I had an Xbox 360 and then an Xbox one when I was younger and I had a few bought games on MY account that were purchased with MY DADS account, I recently got the want to play Lego Marvel Superheroes and Lego Star Wars III again and I tried looking through my library and its not there. I had the same account my whole life and I can't see games that were bought in ~2016 in my Xbox app library.

I haven't really tried a method since I don't know how to describe the problem that youtube will recommend me informative videos and don't know how it would even work.

I'm looking for a way to maybe move the games to my library from my purchases (like

how phones have that you can download apps that you bought on other phones)

If there's a way to fix this problem I would appreciate the help and i have the digital receipts on my purchases on my Microsoft account,

although it's not letting me use screenshots even when i save the picture and upload as image.

thanks!

If the games support Play Anywhere you can do so, but the ones you've listed are not so they'd have to be purchased for the PC n order to play them on PC. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-play-anywhere

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello MaxOyster3434, on which device are you trying to play the R6, console, PC the mobile device?

You already have your Xbox account previously linked with Ubisoft, because to play R6 on XCloud it has to be previously linked.

If you picked your own gamertag when you first started or changed your gamer tag for free in the past the fee is around $9.99 USD if you are not in the US then whatever the conversion rate is for your country it will tell you when you go through the process
of changing your gamertag the cost.

Currently there is no way to convert the license from Xbox to PC.

All game licenses go with the account that purchased them and can not be transferred to another account.

If in the future you were to get another xbox system you would be able to sign in with that same account and the games you had previously purchased would still be there for you to be able to play.

Hey Stephan!

Unfortunately on PC's you can only play digitally downloaded games on the account that purchased the game. On PC there is no way to share entitlements like there is on the Xbox. So you can only play it on the account you purchased it on.

Have you also tried to update your Privacy Settings on account.xbox.com? Not on the app but try on the website as well.

- "Have you checked your order history if the Minecraft Xbox One edition was purchased on there before?"
- As I stated in the original post, I purchased the Xbox One S 'Minecraft Edition.' I own the game through a digital code.

- "The PC version was provided as a code I believe so you can redeem that to any account."
- The code in my purchase history simply says "Minecraft for Windows." If it was a PC-only code, then why was I able to still access Minecraft Windows edition on my Xbox previously, but cannot do so now? The way I see it: I got a game with my Xbox to play on my Xbox, Microsoft buys up Mojang, gives me a code to play Minecraft on my PC, then takes away all forms of me playing Minecraft on my Xbox. Does this make sense?
