I have to rebuy Minecraft despite owning it?

Hello, Griffonki. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

You do not need to buy it again, rest assured. An offer just went live two days ago for a Minecraft Java + Minecraft for Windows bundle and some users are reporting the same issue as you. It will probably take up to tomorrow night for things to sync.

I would suggest you to wait until tomorrow. But in the meantime, try to download the Windows 7/8 launcher. Try playing the game using it.

Make sure you sign in with the correct Microsoft Account used for the Migration.

You can also try to go to the Microsoft Store and redeem the Minecraft Java + Minecraft for Windows bundle. If you own Minecraft Java you are eligible for the offer.

If you have any question or need further assistance, please let me know.

the win10 and the xbox one version of minecraft are two different games, if you want to use it on pc you'll have to rebuy it.

Hmm, well it says i already own it though? how do i rebuy something i own?

Hi Khrizzle!

When and where exactly did you buy your copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

If you used your Microsoft account to purchase it, please verify the ownership of the game from your account by checking your order history here https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders. It should show the game order as completed.

Be sure to sign in the same account on your Xbox app and Microsoft Store. You may sign out and sign in again to be sure.

If that didn't work, try to repair and reset your game, Xbox app, and Microsoft Store.

Don't forget to check for Windows updates and get all available updates from the Microsoft Store:

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

My name is welcome to the community

Hello Geoffrey, you bought the game directly from the Microsoft or Mojang website, regardless of where you bought it you used an account to log in and buy it, just log in again where you bought it and download it.
