    Uninstalled Preview Program and lost Overwatch.


    First time posting on the forums.

    I purchased Overwatch on July 12 while I had the Preview Program app downloaded. The other day, I opted-out and uninstalled the Preview Program because I received updates to the Xbox at least twice a week, sometimes in the middle of a match while playing
    Destiny. I wouldn't mind the updates if I wasn't living in Italy with slow internet speeds.

    So upon uninstalling the Preview Program, I didn't know it would take me back to the Xbox version that the rest of the users have that aren't in the Preview Program. After going through the steps as if I just plugged the X1 into the TV for the first time,
    everything seemed fine. Until today...

    I tried to play Overwatch today, July 27, and it says I need to either insert the disc or make sure I'm online to play. I uninstalled the game, thinking I would re-install and turns out, I had to buy the entire game enable to play it. I checked my Xbox
    Purchase History and the status for Overwatch on July 12 said "In Progress".

    Turns out, if you purchase a game while under Preview Program, opt-out and uninstall, and attempt to purchase said game, it won't work.

    Microsoft refunded my entire purchase and requested I post my issue here so others can see. Hope this helps somebody!

    :)

    Opted out of the preview program but still says I'm enrolled?

    A while ago I opted out of the preview program and it reset my console and I later uninstalled the preview program but the updates and features are still here?

    Overwatch loot boxes

    I'm having the same issue with both Overwatch boxes and Rocket League keys. I'm also a part of the preview program.

    Xbox One will not connect to Wifi

    Uninstalling the preview app is NOT uninstalling the preview OS version! It's strongly recommended to NOT uninstall the app as this takes the opportunity to unenroll from the preview program.

    You all are encountering a typical problem when taking part in a beta program.

    And again: pse guys, this discussion belongs to the preview forum and not the regular support forum!

    LOST Xbox One Preview Code

    Hey there iCrackUriDevice!

    Sorry to hear about the lost preview code. Unfortunately the only way to participate in the Preview Program is by invitation, so you would have to be invited by some one who is currently participating in the Preview Program. For more information about
    the Preview Program, check out our Xbox One Preview Frequently asked Questions page. Thanks in advance!

    Xbox one preview dashboard

    Hey there Blurreaper123!

    Sorry to hear about the issue! Just to clarify, did you unenroll from the Preview Program or did you uninstall the Preview Dashboard? Thanks!

    Overwatch

    Fixed it.

    Seems a preview update broke it. I saw an update happened about 10 minutes after I stopped playing and went to bed.

    I unregistered out of the preview program, cleared the cache and then I reset my Xbox to factory (keeping apps and games).

    I can now play Overwatch again.
