    Buy to own

    Hey GoldenGamer5611

    Thank you so much for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums.

    Is your console the only place you have tried to make this purchase from?

    I recommend that you follow
    this
    link to the Microsoft website and buy it via our site. You will need to log in onto your Microsoft account so you will need to know the email and the password to your account to do this.

    Alternatively you can try using the
    Xbox app
    on your mobile device and making the purchase there.

    There is also a way to reach the Xbox website from your console using the Microsoft Edge app that come pre-installed into your console

    You can do this by following these steps:

    1. Press the Xbox button on your console to bring up the Guide.
    2. Select Games and Apps.
    3. Go to Apps.
    4. Find the Microsoft Edge app, its got a little lowercase "E" on it ="e" with a light blue background.
    Go ahead and give these a shot and let us know if you are still running into anymore problems!

    Connecting devices

    Well you can use your Xbox game pass ultimate subscription to access the Xbox version on the cloud, you can use remote play to access it on your own personal Xbox, or you can just buy it on iOS

    Multiple Xbox One's showing in Devices

    Have you owned any other Xbox ones that you installed your account on? You can see and manage all devices listed with your Microsoft account, and remove the ones that are not yours.

    Battlefield 5 refund or give back access to content I RIGHTFULLY own

    Are these two different screenshots from two different webpages?

    One screen shows install on my devices button like you own the game and can install on one of your Xboxes that are linked to your account and the other one acts like you do not own the game.

    What happens when you click on the install on my devices button?

    Are you signed into the same account on both screen shots?

    Hi Ricky so downloading disk games onto your storage device only allows it to be launched quicker and make load times easier. As you still need the disc inserted to verify you own the game or anyone can just buy or borrow disc games to install.
