Hi Storm, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

Yesterday there were technical problems, try again today, they should be fixed by now if the problem persists the best I can recommend you would be to help xbox by reporting the problem through the following link:

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

Click on the green "Report" button and fill in the information as detailed as possible.

This way, Xbox will know that there is a problem with Minecraft Bedrock or its launcher and will be able to work to fix it as soon as possible.

Keep in mind that this public forum is just players like you trying to guide and help other players. We are not Microsoft employees.

I appreciate your understanding and hope the problem is resolved soon.

None of those options worked, the account is definitely correct and I am using the same account for both. The launcher seems to be up to date as well. Surely, if I am able to play minecraft bedrock with that account on ios (I am able to join realms) then my account must have Bedrock, additionally when logging into the launcher with my brothers account who plays bedrock on PC, all it says is "Play Trial" so something is definitely wrong with the launcher. Is there anything else I can do? My PC is 7 years old, does it have something to do with that?

No i didnt have xbox gamepass before, but like i said i purchased it and installed it directly from the playstore. This allowed me to play bedrock on pc as well, but then again, not java. So just to clarify, does this mean that if i purchased the mobile version, i can only play bedrock on the pc? not java included?

oh and just to add, not only can i play bedrock, i can also play other games as well that arent meant to be for free. These games are minecraft dungeons and minecraft legends. All these games i can play, EXCEPT for java.

Hi ID, my name is Oskayra and I will be happy to help you.

No, if you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4 and link your Microsoft account with your PS4 account, it will not sync the purchase with the accounts. Minecraft Bedrock purchases are tied to the platform on which they are made. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PC, you will only be able to play it on PC. If you purchase Minecraft Bedrock on PS4, you will only be able to play it on PS4.

However, there is an exception to this rule. If you buy Minecraft Java Edition on PC, you will also be able to play Minecraft Bedrock on your mobile device. This is because Minecraft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock are compatible with the "Minecraft Live" feature.

If you just want to play the Minecraft you paid for on your PC, you don't need to buy Minecraft Bedrock for PS4. You can download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition from the Minecraft website.

Here are some steps to download the free version of Minecraft: Java Edition:

Visit the Minecraft website.
Click on the "Download Minecraft" button.
Select "Minecraft: Java Edition".
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the download.
Once you have downloaded Minecraft: Java Edition, you will be able to play it on your PC.

I hope my answer was helpful and clarified your doubts. do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other problem. have a nice day.
