    Digital games wont work


    I was having some issues downloading a game clip to the xbox network so i decided to reset/restart my Xbox. I kept all the games and apps but now when I try to play a digital app I bought it says “do you own this game or app?”. I’ve tried downloading it from Xbox app but nothings working. I don’t understand whats wrong but i own the apps. I played a disc game to make sure i kept all progress in the game and its at my last save point. So my disc games still have the same save data but my digital games work wont. I don’t understand and would like some help or tips please

    :)

    Digital games wont work

    I purchased it on my main account and its not working for all digital games except two. The two that do work were bought on a separate side account and only work on that account. I had that issue before and figured out that all i have to do to access those games is switch to the account that bought them. However on my main account, where i bought the other games, it refuses to work. Im not sure why its not working but one game, Cuphead, refuses to even open. It just says “Do you own this?” on the account i bought it on. Its a weird thing and i don’t understand it because i even signed into both accounts and tried playing the game that way. It didnt work on either account. Im not sure what im doing wrong to be honest

    Hi. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Does this happen with all digital games?

    This message suggests you aren't signed into the account which owns the games, did you purchase these games on your own account?

    Make sure your console has an active internet connection from Profile & system > Settings > General > Network settings.

    Thanks,
    Kyle
