Cannot Review a Game I Own

MavTw33zy5 2 · Nov 28, 2018

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how to write a review of Fallout 76 and can't seem to be able to do so even though I preordered the game.

Buy Fallout 76 - Microsoft Store

On the page there's a banner at the top that says "You own Fallout 76, included in this bundle."

However, under Ratings and Reviews it says "You are unable to rate or review as you do not own this product." I've tried both the Fallout 76 page and the Fallout 76 Preorder page. I am signed into my account and regularly
play Fallout 76 on Xbox Live with friends. I've tried to review it from both my Xbox and my computer as well.

What is the matter? Why can't I review a game I own?

:)

Why Can't I Review games That I Own?

I own many Xbox Games and Xbox 360 games. I can see for example people review games like Bayonetta and Perfect Dark Zero and they can review those games in the Game Store. I own them as I bought them when before I purchased my Xbox One. But why cannot I
not review them, even as I find them good games (Bayonetta is actually a great game). Do I have to buy them again as downloads, although I already bought these game years ago? Are there limitations to be able to review game I own because I didn't buy them
digitally on my Xbox One as a download (which is really unfair if that is the case)?

Do you own it digitally or on disc?

Discs usually won't let you review them because you didn't buy them from the Xbox store.

If you pre ordered a digital bundle of the game try going to the bundle page and review it from there.

Thanks for the response! I know that they can review the reports but I have been told they cannot access the gameplay because it is owned by another developer and it's up to them. Is this true? Thanks

I think you can only review games that you have purchased (I know you bought them) but it needs to say purchased in the store. Its like they need to verify that you bought it so the digital purchases from the store allow the review
option.
