    Backwards compatible games I purchase are not showing up as owned games


    I purchased two 360 games on my xbox one s this morning and they auto installed but when I went to play them the error came up that I didnt own the liscences. Followed all the trouble shooting steps up to uninstalling them but cant reinstall because they dont show up in all owned games and the store pages only have the option to buy them. I tested 360 games from game pass and they work fine just ones I purchase from the store do not. I have recieved refunds for the two games but would like to figure out the problem so I can purchase backwards compatible games in the future.

    :)

    Backwards compatible games I purchase are not showing up as owned games

    Thanks for the response, unfortunately it doesnt help. When I buy the 360 games on the xbox one it gives me the error I dont have a liscence for them even though they show up in my order history. So they auto install but I cant play them then if I unistall them I have no option to reinstall because they dont show up in my owned games and the store only has the option to buy them again. Also as I said earlier this only happens with 360 games I buy from the store, normal games I buy work fine and 360 games I download from gamepass work fine.

    That game is not backwards compatible, so it won't work on a One. In order for backwards compatible games to show up for your son on the One, they would need to be purchased on his account.

    GTA V digitally purchased problem

    Only games that are backwards compatible will show up as ready to install on the One. Since that game is not backwards compatible, you would need to purchase the One version in order to play it on the One.

    Please Help.

    Yes. Any games you already own that are backwards compatible will show up as ready to install.
