  1. Can't play a digital game


    Hello, a few years back when I bought my xbox it came with a game called "Shadow of war - middle earth" ($69.99). For the past 2 years I have had no problem with it but a few weeks ago I switched my home xbox to a different account. Then when I tried to
    play it, it said I did not own the game and needed to purchase it. I thought it was because I switched my home xbox so I again switched my home xbox to my original account (the one I redeemed the game on) and then tried to play the game but it said the same
    thing, I decided to re-install the game but after uninstalling it, it kept saying I need to purchase the game to play in the microsoft store. I have even checked my purchase history for the account but I can not find it in there anywhere. I am on the correct
    account. Please help.

    :)

    This issue has also happened to me with a game called Fallout : New Vegas and I don't know what to do. Whenever I try to start it, it just tells me that I need to go to the store or check if my disk is in or make sure that your logged in.

    Hello dear Gamer, it's a pleasure to help you today.

    My name is Lucas O

    I am a gamer and expert on the XBOX platform.

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience this situation is causing you.
    Welcome to the community.

    I hope I can help you in the best way.

    Check if your xbox is set as home xbox on the account that you own the game:

    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    Select Profile & system > Settings > General > Personalization, and then select My home Xbox.
    Do either of the following:
    To make this your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox.
    To remove this console as your home Xbox, select Make this my home Xbox and then Remove this as my home Xbox.

    Best regards,
    Lucas O.

    Hello @JasonHalliday! I hope that you are doing well today!

    You can request a call back or live chat on the Xbox support website. If you are facing any issues with that, please go through Microsoft support. Once you get to the virtual agent just say “Talk to an agent” and select Xbox as the product, and your issue from the list. Select the option “Call me back” or “Live chat”, which shows the estimated wait time/queue. If you don't see the options to request a call back or chat with support, change your category/topic until you do. If it does not work, please select billing & Subscriptions and "I don't recognize a charge".

    If you are still unable to get hold of a live agent, try this link : Contact us - Microsoft Support
