How can you tell if you own a game that's currently on gamepass or just a trial?

Hey Jon,

games are only for a limited time on game pass. So if you like a game so much that you want to purchase the Dlcs, you should always(!) buy the whole package that includes the game !

And normally it comes with a rebate for Game pass owners while in Game Pass.

If you look in the store at the right of the "ready to install" option of a Game Pass title, you will see the option to purchase the game. If that option is not there then you really own the game !

So in the Xbox store it says that I OWN the game, but I actually only own the trial version. If the game is on gamepass, the option is "installable" meaning I don't own it. It's installable because it's on gamepass, but if the game offers a trial and I've downloaded that trial, the store says I OWN the game. This has caused me to purchase DLC for a game I only own the trial for. I need to know how to tell if a game I have is only the trial version of the full game.

Is there anything else I can do for you?

Well, you need to consider if you, yourself have purchased the game and remember it first, also you can check your game library and see what games you own. Third option check your purchase history: https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

Hi there Jon welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Unfortunately ñ, buying DLC do not menas that you own the base game, you have them because they are on the gamepass but if you want to keep playing them without the gamepass subscription you would have to buy the complete game!
