    Hi, I've done a lot of research on how to play a game normally if a game was to be removed from the Store. But, if a game was delisted but I paid it and I own it or if I open the XBOX and sign in to clicking the game from my Home Screen, does it automatically
    remove my games from my Home Screen and forces me to redownload it whether you're online or offline and can it affect my save data? Will the save data remain or I start from scratch? Thanks I'm still confused because I was looking for a game of my interest
    that I wanted to buy in the future when the time is right but it's no longer there. I've learned that some games as of this month were delisted. Thanks for the help once again.

    :)

    If a game was delisted but it was paid and owned, do they remove from my Home screen to force me to redownload it again?

    if memory serves the game is unusable without the servers

    Just make sure it was a cloud save, if you didn't cloud save then the game has no save data. I think it automatically cloud saves, but it never hurts to check!

    Your saves stay the same. Nothing is removed. Even if you deleted the game, it will appear in your Ready to Install. When you start the game it will sync back to the cloud to retrieve your save games, just as it does with all Xbox One games, available
    to buy or not.

    The only games that would be completely removed would be online only games. There would be little point in allowing you to download these games again if you couldn't play them anymore.

    And of course, delisting only affects digital games. If the game was released on disc and has offline play (a single player campaign for example), you can still play these games too.

    Ah, yeah, you're right. Looks like Ubisoft did revoke licenses after that, which is a rare case.

    No. If they've been delisted, but you bought it before it was delisted, you can redownload them from your library.
