Having to purchase Sea of Thieves again

Hello Nick, sorry to hear you're having trouble with your purchase.

First we would need to make sure the game shows as purchased on your account. Please log in to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and double check that it's listed as Completed. You may need to use the filters on the page to select All purchases.

If it's not listed there then it may be that the game was either bought on a different account or you had played via game sharing or the Game Pass.

Have you tried uninstalling the game and re-installing it again?

I have looked on the Sea of Thieves official forum and there was no mention of this on there: Sea of Thieves - Categories

Their technical discussion forum is here: Sea of Thieves - Troubleshooting & Technical Discussion

Did you purchase it using another account?

Sea of thieves requires gold and game pass, unless you purchase sea of thieves, then you only need gold.

What happens now if you go into the Store and to the Sea of Thieves page, and look at it? Does it show the option to Install again, or does it say Purchase?

You may be correct, Krystian. I found a helpful article from Sea of Thieves Support:

"When purchasing Bundles and Ancient Coin packs for Sea of Thieves, it is important that you purchase through the correct store for the platform in which you are playing. Otherwise you may not receive the items in which you have purchased!

So this means that if you are playing on the Steam version of Sea of Thieves, then you must purchase your content through the Steam store. And likewise, if you are using the Microsoft Store or Xbox version of Sea of thieves, then you must purchase your content through the Microsoft Store."
