    Why does it say I have to buy Minecraft again?


    I’ve owned Minecraft Bedrock on Windows for a long time now. I got it when I bought the Xbox One Minecraft bundle. I didn’t play it on PC too much, but I did play it a little bit and I wanted to come back after a while. However, when I launched the game it told me to buy the full version and when I check my library it was completely missing. What’s up with this?

    :)

    Why does it say I should buy the game again?

    Hey there Supbro!

    Sorry to hear that you're dealing with this issue and getting this error.

    This could totally be something manifesting from the fact that we are currently experiencing an Xbox Service outage regarding

    Purchase and Content Usage
    . You might have to wait until it's back up.

    If this keeps happening after it's been resolved though I would suggest trying the steps outlined in our

    Xbox One Game Freeze Solution
    .

    It not only has steps for games freezing but it also could help with it not launching and is good for a variety of game play issues.

    When you get a chance, give that a shot and let us know how that helped.

    Thanks for reading!

    Try performing a hard reset EXACTLY like this. Hold the power button on the console for 8 seconds or until the power shuts down completely.
    Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes.
    Plug the power cord back in and restart the console.
