    I can't launch my game


    Hello I have recently bought the Minecraft through the website and the transition went through, however when i try to launch the game it says " Minecraft Launcher isn't available because either the game is no longer on the subscription or you subscription has expired. If everything appears up to date, try quitting and relaunching the game." I would like to know if I did anything wrong while getting the game or not.

    :)

    I can't launch my game

    Hi Eddy,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I am sorry that you are still prompted that you have to buy the game, even if you already purchased Minecraft. As part of our initial troubleshooting, kindly make sure that you are logged in using the same Microsoft account where you purchased the game. If you purchased it from Microsoft store, you may check it by going to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

    Once confirmed that you are using the correct account, please follow my recommendations below.

    1. Delete the Minecraft launcher that exists on your computer.

    2. Restart your computer.

    3. Install legacy Minecraft launcher for Windows.

    https://aka.ms/minecraftClientWindows

    Once installed, continue with these instructions.

    1. Open Minecraft launcher.

    2. If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamer tag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout".

    3. After logging out, delete all accounts registered in the launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account.

    4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password. Please make sure that you're using the Microsoft account where you confirmed that has Minecraft.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Can't launch my game

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Xbox Series X console.

    It's important to note that this is a public user-to-user community forum, and none of us here work for Microsoft.

    It is possible that the service outage may have affected other games as well but not yet included on the server status. If I may ask, have you tried to launch other games offline to see if it works?

    For us to isolate the case, kindly try to perform the following workarounds according to the official Xbox website: (https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/games-apps/troubleshooting/game-issues-solution)

    "Remove your account, power cycle, and re-add your account:

    Here's how to remove your account:

    > Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    > Select Profile & system > Settings > Account > Remove accounts.
    > Select the account that you want to remove, and then select Remove to confirm.

    Power Cycle:

    > Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    > Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​

    Then re-add your account.

    Press the Xbox button  to open the guide.
    Select Profile & System > Add or switch > Add new.
    Enter the email address for the Microsoft account that you want to add, and then select Enter.

    Note: Make sure that you do not select Get a new account unless you want to create a new Microsoft account.

    Enter the password for your Microsoft account, and then select Enter.
    Review the Microsoft Service Agreement and Privacy Statement, and then select I Accept.
    Follow the steps to configure your Sign-In, security & PIN preferences to finish adding your profile to the console."

    Then launch the game Call of Duty Warzone to see if it works.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,
    Darhyl

    Can't launch my games

    Hey Arthuro,

    Thanks for your post! If the account that's signed in and attempt to launch a game that was purchased by another or it is not entitled to, we would see this error. Usually for this, there a few possibilities to find out where the game came from. It can either
    be from a disc and if the disc is not inserted, it will not launch properly. Also, if there was a home Xbox association on the last account it could be that the game was on that console due to the game share for more info on home consoles view:

    My Home Xbox Setting on Xbox One
    . To make sure your profile has the game on it, check out your

    Order History
    . If the issue persists use the
    Contact Us
    portal so we may investigate further and resolve this issue.

    I hope this information helps, thanks again.

    You're welcome!

    If the steps above didn't work, you can also try to perform a "factory reset keep my games and apps" as part of the workaround. You can follow the steps through this link:

    https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help...he console to factory settings. ... See More.

    If the reply was helpful, please don’t forget to upvote or accept it as an answer, thank you so much. Stay cool and have a great day!

    Best regards,
