    PAY TWICE FOR DIGITAL GAMES?!


    I purchased Peggle 2 and Diablo 3 digitally on my xbox 360 last year. I haven't checked Diablo 3, but when I went to redownload Peggle 2 onto my new Xbox One it says that I have to purchase it again? I thought that if you bought a game digitally that it
    would be linked to my xbox live account and would carry over? My purchase of Halo: Reach carried over, I'm just kind of angry and curious as to why that's the only game that did.

    :)

    Pay twice

    Xbox will allow you to purchase Gold multiple times. This is a feature called stacking. If you buy 1 Month Gold for $9.99, and then you again buy 1 Month Gold for $9.99, you will have paid a total of $19.98, and that will cover two months of Gold. You
    can stack up to 36 months at a time. This also applies to store-bought prepaid cards, and a combination of paid subscriptions and prepaid cards. This does NOT, however, apply to those 48-hour trials and such that you receive with games.

  3. Pay twice

    You'll need to contact MS billing to see if they can handle cancelling one of those subscriptions. Please visit this link:

    support.xbox.com/.../contact-us

    -

    Select Billing then Cancel Xbox Live Membership then request a call.

    PAY TWICE FOR DIGITAL GAMES?!

    Hello Sinclair,

    Only backwards compatible games would carry over. For Peggle 2 and Diablo 3 they are separate versions of the same game, so unless the publisher has an "upgrade" promotion whereby you get the Xbox One version free for owning it on Xbox 360, you would need
    to buy the game again.

    I hope this helps.

    Killer instinct just launched on steam on PC from xbox studios

    If you want to play the game from Steam, then you will have to pay for it, as you are using a different service to get the game. So you have to pay for it.

    As for paying for it twice. You don't have to pay for it twice, if purchasing the digital version. The game is a play anywhere game that means you purchase once on Windows, get it free on Xbox, and vice versa.

    Digital download games to much

    The fact is that games on demand are over priced. If you really think that paying twice the amount for the "convenience "of digital download is reasonable , then you are a sucker.

    I have bought the digital version FIFA 22 ultimate edition. Why do I still need to get the game pass? Then it's like paying twice for the same game.
