    Do i need to buy the games again.


    Hi me and my brother play on 1 Xbox One, we have different accounts. We have a 2tb external hard drive which most of our games are stored on. We have some games on disc and some through digital downloads. We like playing games together but the reduced screen
    size can get annoying (Screen cheating). We were thinking about buying another Xbox one and plugging it into a different TV. Would we be able to copy the games we already own from the hard drive to the new Xbox and play like that (except for the games on disk),
    our buy each game again? Thanks for any feedback

    :)

    Bought the game saying I need to buy it again

    I bought ARK: Survival Evolved and it's said there was an error and when I go on the store to install it says I need to buy even though it has taken my money.

    Delete a game, do I have to buy again?

    Anything you purchase can be redownloaded from your download history for free.

    Why do I need to buy game again?

    Hello Ali Zakeria,

    Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

    We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft and is unable to because you were asked to repurchase the game. Thanks for bringing your question to the forums. Our focus here is on helping with a wide variety of Xbox product and service-related issues. Most game-specific issues, like what you are describing here, need to be addressed by the developer or publisher through their sites. Let us help you get to the right place.

    We found this support article from Mojang Team with several updates like:

    Note: As of March 15, 2023, please DO NOT unlink your MSA from your PlayStation account via the in-game menu. You will be unable to link it back if you do so.

    Feel free to check this resources: Minecraft for PlayStation® FAQ | Minecraft Help

    However, the issue you have raised to us is about the purchase of Minecraft on non-Xbox platform. In that case, we would recommend you to reach out to Minecraft Support Team for assistance - Submit a request – Home (minecraft.net).

    As this is out of scope for us on the Xbox Forums, we are going to close the thread. If you still need assistance with an Xbox product or service, feel free to create a new thread. Thanks again for posting your question, and have a great day!



    Sincerely,
