    Do I have to buy games twice?


    So I bought Minecraft on my phone some time ago. To me it woukd make sense that if I was logges in on the same account I could just install the game for free seeing that I already own it. I dont think this is the case but I just wanted to know if anyone
    knows a way to install it without paying again or if you have to pay twice.

    :)

    With Minecraft you have to purchase it again if you're wanting to play it on a different platform.

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    First, please sign in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and check if you can see the game order stated as "completed", once confirmed follow the steps below:

    Go to "My games and apps" > Installed games > Highlight the game > Press the Menu button > Go to "manage games and add-ons" > Click the game icon.

    Make sure that these packs are installed:

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Content Pack 1

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Content Pack 2

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Content Pack 3

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - Content Pack 4

    The disc indeed includes the multiplayer and zombie packs we just need to ensure that they are installed.
