Why do I need to buy game again?

Hello Ali Zakeria,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft and is unable to because you were asked to repurchase the game. Thanks for bringing your question to the forums. Our focus here is on helping with a wide variety of Xbox product and service-related issues. Most game-specific issues, like what you are describing here, need to be addressed by the developer or publisher through their sites. Let us help you get to the right place.

We found this support article from Mojang Team with several updates like:

Note: As of March 15, 2023, please DO NOT unlink your MSA from your PlayStation account via the in-game menu. You will be unable to link it back if you do so.

Feel free to check this resources: Minecraft for PlayStation® FAQ | Minecraft Help

However, the issue you have raised to us is about the purchase of Minecraft on non-Xbox platform. In that case, we would recommend you to reach out to Minecraft Support Team for assistance - Submit a request – Home (minecraft.net).

As this is out of scope for us on the Xbox Forums, we are going to close the thread. If you still need assistance with an Xbox product or service, feel free to create a new thread. Thanks again for posting your question, and have a great day!



Sincerely,

Thank you for your help. I have fixed it thanks to the article you send

Hi, NClateman! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Did you purchase Minecraft via MS store or through Minecraft.net? If it's through, MS store, kindly double check your transaction thru https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders to make sure that you're on the right account where it was purchased.

When did you migrated your Mojang account?
This can be a bit dumb, but are you using the right account?

Is this happening with the Java edition, right?
If yes, may I know if you tried everything from this article?
