    Games purchased and downloading for no reason


    I was sitting watching Netflix tonight on my Xbox one and out of the blue sunset overdrive started downloading?? I have never bought this game over Xbox one so I have no idea how it 1. Got purchased and 2. Started downloading.

    when I went to my games I noticed both worms and mine craft were queued to download also!!! Again I have never went to buy or download these games ever!!

    anyone have a clue what's going on? Have I been hacked? If so how can they just buy games while I'm on my Xbox??

    thanks for any help

    :)

    Free copy of AC: Unity?

    So I turned on my Xbox today, and for some reason AC: Unity had been downloading and was at around 25%. The thing is, I never purchased it and do not own it. Anyone know whats going on here? Did I just get a free copy for no reason?

    I am unable to download any new puzzles at all. The screen says downloading but nothing happens.

    This worked perfectly and then for no reason stopped. I can do the puzzles that I have already downloaded. I have purchased 8 or so new puzzles and NONE of them will download. Says downloading but nothing happens

    Has anyone else ever used your console? If someone else has your console set as their Home console you will download everything they purchase.

    I bought it if eBay so It would have had a previous owner? Would that account for this?

    Yes. So you can uninstall the games to free up space without any issues

    Re-downloading from games on demand

    Hello,

    The only reason why a game would not be on your download history on the console or
    purchase history here is because the content was not purchased on this account. When you purchase games on Xbox LIVE you get an e-mail to the registered gamertag confirming
    the purchase.

    Wolfenstein 3D not available to download.

    If you can't find a link to download it in the marketplace, then that does mean it's not available for purchase through there. I'm not sure the exact reason why it would have been removed, but games are delisted for various reasons. It couldbe licensing
    issues with the developers or just not enough people purchasing and playing the game anymore.
