I cant Download my Minecraft on PC, i first used the GamePass and then buyed the Game

Crystal1706 · Mar 8, 2025

Hello,

i first tried Minecraftn on Windows over the XBox Pass. Then i buyed the Minecraft Bedrock and Java Edition. I could never log in or use Realms, the Game still thought i use the Game Pass. It wasnt an issue so far. But now i couldnt download the new Update so i deinstalled the Launcher and Games and now i cant install it again. I dont even get a Error Message. I think its an issue between the game pass at first and then buying it. I had the Game on 2 PC.... This wasnt a problem so far either.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help guys

:)

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues installing Minecraft Bedrock and Java Edition.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

If the launcher still thinks you're using Game Pass, check your Microsoft account order history to confirm the purchase.

https://account.microsoft.com>; Order history.

If the purchase is listed, but the launcher doesn't recognize it, please make sure you're logged into the Microsoft account that was used to purchase the Minecraft Bedrock and Java Edition.

Because sometimes the launcher might default to the account linked to your Xbox Game Pass subscription.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Which gamepass are you talking about

Gamepass for PC OR gamepass standard

If you are using gamepass for pc for access to Minecraft on pc and using the same account on console To share then no

As gamepass for pc wont work on console

You need gamepass standard or ultimate for console

If you want to share a subscription for both pc and console you need ultimate which includes bothpc and console titles

Another solution since pc doesn't need a subscription other then realms

Is buy Minecraft on pc and keep realms on your profile and buy gamepass standard for minecraft access on console or buy core and Minecraft

SörenD.

so i should reinstall that application that i cant install xD ?

or i should buy this game but use the GamePass? rofl

so i should restart my console, oh no pc... "restart" every day, not a problem one day

Thanks for letting me know! I don't buy any digital games on the Xbox, only Gamepass so I cant tell

I hope they fixed it soon...

Gamepass games on PC and XBox Series X are still unable to launch.
