    I bought Minecraft forever ago but now it says I don't own it


    I've been able to play the game after purchasing it for months, but now for some reason, it acts as if I never bought it in the first place. When I click the button to buy the game, it tells me I already own it, then it takes me back to the launcher where it still wants me to buy the game

    :)

    Hi Aaron. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    What device are you trying to play Minecraft on?

    If you are using a Windows PC, please ensure you are signed into the Xbox app and Microsoft Store with the account which owns the game.

    Also, please let me know of any troubleshooting steps you may have tried so far, and provide screenshots of this issue if possible.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Oh, nevermind. It turns out that I’d already installed it with game pass but it expired, causing me to not be able to play Java. I’d already bought Bedrock, so I think the store thought I’d purchased the bundle. We’re all good now

    I bought gta 7 years ago and now it says I don't own it

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Creepyma3s11, where you are trying to play GTA and what version of GTA would be, some versions of GTA have distinct versions for Xbox 360 and One, so they are not backwardcompatible.

    Go to your "Purchase History" account and see if you can find the game, verify that the purchase has completed successfully, or if there have been any refund or return requests for the game.
