    Hey ElCaBo02! Is there another gamertag on the console that may own GTA instead? Check

    Hi XxDonutheadxX,

    I'm Anirban and I'll be happy to help you.

    Have you tried to login with the account purchased? And what happens when you click on the buy button?

    Best regards

    Need to buy a game i already own

    If you go to your account purchase history, can you see your Sea of Thieves purchase there showing as completed? See if it's there and let me know:

    Make sure you select the period to more than 6 months to see your order.

    Says I already became an Ambassador but I did not think I did.

    Greetings, PINKxRUSSIAN! It looks like you are currently an Ambassador. As DRiiFT mentioned you have the Ambassador icon in the lower right hand side of your gamercard. Hope this helps! :)
