When i got my xbox one it came with minecraft and i could play it but now i have to buy it...

Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Miguel O., Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue!

Please make sure that you own a Minecraft game by checking the list of game that you own.

Select the Xbox button to open the guide (the menu on the Xbox console), and then select My games & apps > See all.

Under Games, you will see all games you own.

going thought the install again but it's the old version. i had a problem with this when i played the beta also. i am not on the beta now i think. my ownership of minecraft was when the minecraft xbox came out and i bought that xbox one with minecraft and a version of minecraft for windows also. i had been playing minecraft on java from the 19?? when it was free but i lost that and had to buy java to get back into the java scene. oh well. now i want to play the 1.19.0 version on the xbox but haven't been able to get there yet...

Not the controller for me it's the battery from the Plug and play no longer holds a charge came the same day as my day one. Got to buy a new one now or I have to have the controller wired.

Oh, well now that I think about it, I got my HDD (New) from Amazon. When I got it It came in a little brown package and not a and official looking one. Also, it doesn't have "Xbox 360" or "Microsoft" labels on it's surface, so I think you're right. Well,
thanks for the info. So if a buy a true $99 HDD from Gamestop (wow that much?) will I then be able to play them games? And if you could tell me why mine wont play those games? Is it corrupted or something?

Hi Hayden,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I am sorry that you are still prompted that you have to buy the game, even if you already purchased Minecraft. As part of our initial troubleshooting, kindly make sure that you are logged in using the same Microsoft account where you purchased the game. If you purchased it from Microsoft store, you may check it by going to https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

Once confirmed that you are using the correct account, please follow my recommendations below.

1. Delete the Minecraft launcher that exists on your computer.

2. Restart your computer.

3. Install legacy Minecraft launcher for Windows.

https://aka.ms/minecraftClientWindows

Once reinstalled, continue with these instructions.

1. Open Minecraft launcher.

2. If you are already logged in, click on your image and Gamer tag in the upper left corner of the screen and then on "Logout".

3. After logging out, delete all accounts registered in the launcher by clicking on the "X" next to each account.

4. In the Minecraft launcher, enter the Microsoft email and password.

Hope this solves your issue, please do let me know how it goes.

Regards,

Alvaro
