    Have A Game That I Own Already But It Says I need to buy it again.


    Hello, Microsoft. The game that I own, GTA V, is not working properly. The console is constantly telling me to buy it again. And I don't have the funds for it anymore. Can you please solve this problem?

    :)

  3. I try to re-download a games on demand game that I have purchased, BUT it says i have to buy it again.

    Hey there! If the game is not showing up in your Download History, check on other accounts that are or may have been on the console; perhaps you accidentally purchased it on another account.

    Hey ElCaBo02! Is there another gamertag on the console that may own GTA instead? Check
    here and see if you see GTA listed on your account. Post back and let me know!

    A game I own says I need to buy it again

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

    Since you have purchased the game Hogwarts Legacy: Digital Deluxe Edition, indeed you should be able to access the game on Xbox One console with no problem.

    You will need to perform some basic troubleshooting steps in order to fix this. Please remove your Microsoft account (Where the game Hogwarts Legacy was purchased) from your Xbox One console > restart your console > re-add your Microsoft account > then check to see if it works here's how to remove your account:

    1.Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.

    2.Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Remove accounts.

    3.Select the account that you want to remove, and then select Remove to confirm.

    > then restart your console and proceed with re-adding your Microsoft account. You've got nothing to worry as this will not delete your saved data progress.

    Then check if you can launch the game Hogwarts Legacy: Xbox One version on your Xbox One console.

    i already bought a game but it says i have to buy it again

    Hi Alexandre, my name is Rodrigo. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    I am sorry to hear that.

    Please, reset the store and try installing the game again.

    To Reset the Store, Press the Windows Key + R > Type WSReset.exe and press Enter.

    Close the store and reopen it.

    Then, on the Microsoft Store, type your game name: "Sea of Thieves".

    Load the game page and click on "Install".

    Let me know if it works!

    In a case like that it is likely an issue of not being logged into the right account. Double check that you are logging into the correct Windows 10 account and not a guest account by accident, I can almost promise that is the issue you are running into.
