Uninstalled a game and now I have to buy it again

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

Please validate if you can see the game transaction on your account via https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders.

Depending on the game as well, you may have obtained it through game sharing or game pass library.

The game should show in your Ready to Install area of your Games and Apps.

Hi there,

When you go to your purchase history (https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders), do you see the game listed there?

If so, when you click on it to go to the store. Does it give you the option to download, or does it say purchase again? (Make sure you are signed into the marketplace page, which you may have to sign into. It wouldn't let me sign in, but when I right clicked
sign in while doing it on the PC and said open in new tab, the browser signed me into the page no problem).

If it's not in your purchases might mean that you were gamesharing. If you are not using the account that made the purchase as xbox home you will have to purchase the game for yourself.

This was a free Play Weekend.

But it is now also in the gamepass. maybe this is an option for you. there you get many other games too
