    I own Minecraft on my laptop; can I play on android tablet?


    I own and play Minecraft Java and Bedrock on my Windows 11 laptop but would also like to play it on my Android tablet. Is it possible to do that with the copy of the game I already have or would I have to buy the game again?

    I've gone on to the Microsoft store and found my purchase of the game, but the option to Launch it on my tablet is greyed out, so I don't know how else to install and play it on my tablet.

    Things to note, I don't own any Game Passes as I'm not much of a gamer.

    I also am unable to add my Android tablet to my Microsoft account as a registered device as Microsoft isn't allowing Android devices "to be added at this time".

    Any advice (and step by step instructions!) would be gratefully received. Thx

    :)

    like 99% of software every version of Minecraft is a separate purchase

    Online safety settings for multiplayer

    Minecraft is played on an android phone or an android tablet (same issue). Believe the Xbox live account to be set up as an adult account as I can go in and change various settings without any apparent restrictions

    Questions about Minecraft IAP

    Yes, that's correct.
    Despite fire tablets runs a custom Android version, Minecraft couldn't be downloaded on regular Android devices due to Minecraft was purchased on the Amazon Appstore, which is exclusive of Fire tablets.

    Wireless Xbox One Controller Not Connecting

    I only have one wireless controller, and one bluetooth controller unfortunately. The bluetooth controller works on all devices.

    I purchased the wireless xbox one controller for the pc when it first release support for the PC. Years later, I purchased the bluetooth controller dedicated to use on my laptop when I'm on the move.

    These days, I primarily use my bluetooth gamepad on my android tablet for android games, but I recently subscribe to Ultimate Game Pass to play on my tablet.

    What is xCloud? I don't know what it does.

    You can also sign up for the beta if you own an Android phone or tablet.
