    Says I have to buy the game but I have it for disc


    I have the minecraft disc for xbox one and it used to work fine on my xbox series x until it started saying I have to buy the game to play it, Which makes no sense bc I have it for the disc, As in i've already bought it. I just want to know how to fix it (And possibly what's wrong so it doesn't happen again)

    :)

    Game saying i have to re-buy it

    Hello LeopardPro77

    Try to remove the profile that has the game, then turn off the console and remove the power cord; wait for 1 to 2 minutes before plugging it back in and turn on the console and sign in and try again!

    If the issue persists, try to soft reset your console: Select System > Settings > System > Console info > Select Reset console > Choose Reset and keep my games and apps.

    Game saying i have to re-buy it

    Hi LeopardPro77! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

    The disc is inside the Xbox? If not you need to insert the disc

    If the disc is inside

    Remove the disc

    Turn off the Xbox console by pressing the Xbox button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.

    Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Plug the console power cable back in.

    Press the Xbox button on your console to turn on the Xbox

    Insert the disc during the Xbox screen

    It's saying i have to buy this again

    do you think that there is any way to play my xbox version on my PC so I don't have to buy it again?

    It's saying i have to buy this again

    I believe they may be different versions of the game, which would mean you would need to purchase the PC version.

    theres a rather sizeable Minecraft FAQ that details all the different versions of the game, and which will work on what device

    Hope that helps

    Hi xMusicalMoodyx,

    Thanks for replying! Currently, there are several different versions of Minecraft, as our Ambassador stated, and the way they are coded is different as well, which means that if you own the version for Xbox One console, it will be a different version
    for a Windows 10 PC. This means that you will need to purchase the version of Minecraft for PC in order to play. The good news is that when you sign in with your Microsoft account, you will be able to access many of the same items and/or progress that you
    have already established.

    I hope this information helps a bit more!
