    I was trying to hop on call of duty ghosts today and all of the sudden I got an error that I need to buy it in order to play it even tho I have brought the game and own it so I said “that’s weird” try a second time did not work tried restarting Xbox it still didn’t work so I checked my library and its not there anymore, so I checked the Microsoft store and i have to buy it again and I don’t know why I brought the game when it was on discount for 20$ any fixes?

    Hello Kevin Ventura-Rodríguez,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    I can see that you are having an issue with COD wherein you are unable to play it because its telling you that you have to buy it again.

    To troubleshoot this problem, please follow these steps:



    - First, check your purchase history on your Microsoft account and see if the game is still listed there. If it is, then you should be able to reinstall it from there. If it is not, then you might need to contact Microsoft support and provide proof of purchase to restore the game to your account.

    - Second, try clearing the cache on your Xbox by holding down the power button for 10 seconds until it shuts down completely. Then unplug the power cord from the back of the console for a few minutes. Plug it back in and turn on the Xbox again. This might fix any glitches or bugs that are affecting the game.

    - Third, check if the game is still available on the Microsoft store by searching for it online or on another device. If it is, then you might need to update your Xbox software or check your network settings to make sure you are connected to the internet.

    We're looking forward to hearing from you. If there are any inquiries about our description or if there are any misconceptions, do reply to the post.
