Minecraft asking me to buy a game I already have ownership with proven by Microsoft store...

Hello Sebastian, that does sound frustrating, especially when you can clearly see you own the game. Not to worry, I can help you get this resolved.

First, check for any server outages on Xbox Status:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

Since it seems like the Minecraft Launcher or Microsoft Store might be stuck in a loop, try resetting the Microsoft Store to refresh its connection with your account and license:

1. Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.

2. Type wsreset.exe and press Enter.

3. A blank Command Prompt window will appear and then close automatically. The Microsoft Store will open after a few moments.

Once that’s done, relaunch the Minecraft Launcher and sign in again. This often resolves ownership or connectivity issues tied to account syncing.

If that doesn't work, try signing in and launching Minecraft from another Windows user account on the PC. That can help to determine if the issue is with the local profile.

If all else fails, you can also reach out to the Minecraft Support team directly here:

Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Yes I bought minecraft bedrock for windows 10 version, and I can't redeem the same game directly from the original minecraft site, they ask me to buy the game again. I can only get it through the microsoft store, but there I'm having problems installing.

Yes, please try it in Microsoft store because Minecraft has already migrated to Microsoft and you can buy the game from there.

My son bought the game.

Via the microsoft family group he had to ask permission to me.

via the parent account the game was bought and payed.

downloaded and installed.

we start up via the microsoft store app

after "hit any key" we get the notice:

Game ownership not established. make sure you are signed in to the correct Xbox account and restart the game.

Do we need an Xbox account to play Minecraft Dungeons?

Sorry, he has an account.

But we still have problems with starting Minecraft Dungeons

Me too...My daughter wanted some in game Minecraft content for her birthday. I dont normally like spending money on this type of stuff, but as its her birthday I said she could have it as a treat, to which she was very excited. Within Minecraft, I went to buy some coins, it redirected me to the microsoft store asking for a minimum purchase of £10 store credits. I paid this, and then find that Microsoft have taken my money for the Minecraft purchase, but the money is sitting in her account, and there is no way to purchase minecraft coins.

I now cannot buy her the content I said she could have.

The content was only £1.50, but Microsoft only allowed me to top up a min of £10

The £10 is now sitting in the Microsoft Account, they wont refund it.

Seems like theft.
