    Do I need to repurchase Minecraft after I switched from PC to Mac?

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    Since you already purchased the Windows edition, you can get the Java edition for free. Just sign in here and claim it.

    https://www.xbox.com/games/store/minecraft-java...

    Once you have obtained Minecraft Java Edition, you can play it on your new Mac without paying again, as this version is compatible with both Windows and macOS.

    - Go to the official Minecraft website: https://www.minecraft.net

    - Click "Sign In" (top right) and sign in with the Microsoft account you used to purchase Minecraft.

    - Once inside, click "Download" and choose the macOS version.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    Switching from Xbox to PC do I have to repurchase Forza Motorsport

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

    The disc copy of Forza Motorsport is specifically for Xbox, so you would have to buy it digitally to access the game on PC. Please reach back if you have further questions.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Minecraft

    If it's Windows PC, you can just redownload your game so long as you purchased it on your Microsoft account and use the same Microsoft account on your other PC. For Mac, it's a different platform so you may need to repurchase the game there.
