    “Do you own this game or app” error persistent with one game - have tried all...


    Hi like the title says i keep getting the Do you Own this game error message (0x803F8001).

    I downloaded ES 3 Morrowind in January of last year (i found it in my order history amd its linked to my main account the only account i use/purchase things with on my xbox one). I have been playing it for the past week with absolutely no issue but today
    when I tried to launch the game I recieved this message...

    I have been searching all day and trying troubleshooting tricks and NOTHING HAS WORKED. Really frustrated that Microsoft doesnt have a clear solution to this...

    Things Ive tried:

    -Restarting console, hard console restart (holding power button, unplugging)

    -Accessing the game from an alt account

    -removing my own account and re-adding

    -tested my network connections, xbox live connections (all my other digital downloaded games work just fine)

    -uninstall the game and reinstall (SEVERAL TIMES)

    -Yes my console is set to my home console

    -And I even did a factory reset my console as a last resort which also did NOT work and now I have to re add and sign into everything... sorry guys so frustrated right now.

    Anybody have any tips?? Again its with this ONE game. I did notice when i first had it it was Morrowind GOTY Edition (that was in the title) - when i went to reinstall it it was just Morrowind & there were two versions in the store?? One was like1.5 GB and
    the other was 4 gb - got both.

    Anybody have the same issue and could offer some help please?? If there is a way to completely remove the game from my account and just repurchase it I would do that as well (waste of money of course since i already bought it but at this point Im so annoyed
    and just want to play the game).

    Thanks so much in advance!

    (Btw sorry for all the typos here posting from mobile).

    :)

    Lost free games from gold

    Hey there,

    Have you tried going to My Games and Apps > See All > Full Library > All Owned Games or Games with Gold?

    If this doesn’t work, try restarting your console and if the issue still persists, contact
    Support at https://support.xbox.com

    Do you own this game or app error

    Hi ArbiterofLight,

    Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue. As you're receiving that particular error message when attempting to play some of the games via Xbox Game Pass, it may worth requesting an additional call back from Xbox Support to have them
    troubleshoot your subscription to see if it is being recognized correctly. Please bear in mind that the Game Pass line up does change frequently as well: Xbox Game Pass Games.

    The subscription to Game Pass gives you a temporary license to play the games while they are available on the service, so there should be no need to contact the game developers directly, but it would be best to get the subscription reviewed to see
    if they may determine what is keeping you from being able to play the titles.

    • Step 3 : Select your Issue/Topic
      • Select - Show contact options
      • Select – Call me back or chat with Xbox Support

    If you do not see the selection that you wish to use for contact, then switch topics until it becomes available.

    Give this a try and let us know the results. I hope this helps out.

    Do you own this game or app error

    Is this Game Pass for PC? If so, are you signed into the computer with the Microsoft Account that has the Game Pass subscription? I would recommend checking that, and what profile is signed into the Xbox (Beta) app as well as the Xbox Console Companion
    app. Check those and let us know if they are the account that reflect that you have Game Pass Subscription. You can also check that everything with your subscription is good at your
    Microsoft Account page for that account.

    Let us know the results and we'll see what the next best troubleshooting steps are.
    No it's for my xbox 1 console

    Do you own this game or app error

    With game pass you can play the games included as long as you have game pass and as long as the games are including in game pass. If you cancel or the games are removed, you will no longer have access to the games unless you buy them. You can buy
    the games at a discount while subscribed to game pass.
    ok then since it does not happen to any of the game I bought at full price or at a store or at a discounted price I am forced to buy them, considering it only is happening to games from gamer pass I got free as stated in my original post. the call back solution
    as a complete bust because after the troubleshooting failed I was told what I said in the original post that I need to contact the developers so I am probably going to cancel the game pass and just get games at full price as this is happening to every game
    pass game I get for free thank you all
