  1. Why don't my purchased games not register as bought ?


    Hi. So recently I bought the following: Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo : Combat Evolved, Halo 4 and Halo reach. They don't appear on my Android app. In the bundle for each of those games, there is an inclusion of the game Halo : The Master Chief Collection. But the app doesn't register me as owning any of the halo games that I bought one day ago. So I go buy Halo The Master Chief Collection, even though I should already own it from the game bundles that I bought previously (5 times) and it doesn't register it. So my Android XBox app doesn't recognize the payments or something so it is as if I didn't buy these 5 (now 6) individual games. You troubleshooting help line redirects me to talking with a bot, so there's noone to complain to. Than I found a web page that tells me " we are replacing this service with the android app, so go to the android app " and now that I'm out of options I've decided to write my issue here and ask to resolve it. In addition to that I get the " XBox Live services are down ". I bought all these games because of a Black Friday discount offer so waiting for a few days for the issue to be resolved might make me miss the wonderful discounts currently available.

    How do we fix this and why can't I look up the games that I own in a web browser ?

    :)

    Why don't my purchased games not register as bought ?

    Hello again. Reading my post today I see I was a little bit inpolite. I apologize for that. I'm super happy with xbox so I don't want to give the impression of a disgruntled customer. Sorry, my bad.

    1. I bought them on the website, the XBox / Microsoft store, yes , using opera and chrome browser

    2. I am using the XBox app on my android phone (the one found on Google Play store) when accessing the games on my android phone, yes

    3. Yes I do, there is no issue there

    Second questions:

    1a. I did it just now and the same issue persists, so no probs.

    2a. I'll check it on the pc this week, can't do it today

    3a. Ok, I will do that.

    I don't yet own an XBox console, I will buy one in a few months, not enough time atm. So no worries about resolving this issue immediately, maybe with time this will fix it self. Thank you for the quick response.

    Hello Valentinus,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand you are having issues with your purchased games not registering as bought on your Android app. We understand how frustrating this can be, especially when you want to take advantage of the Black Friday discounts.

    There are a few possible reasons why this issue might be happening. One is that there might be a delay in processing your purchases due to high demand or server issues. Another is that there might be a compatibility problem between the Android app and the games you bought.

    However, before jumping to conclusions, I would like to ask you a few questions to better understand your concern.
    1. May I know if you purchased the games on Xbox/Microsoft Store?

    2. Are you using Xbox App/Cloud when accessing the games on your Android phone?
    3. Do you see the purchased games in your Microsoft Order history by going to account.microsoft.com/orders?

    In the meantime, I recommend you try the following steps:

    1. Sign out of your Xbox account on the Android app and sign back in.

    2. Check if the games appear in your Xbox library on a different device, such as a console or PC.

    3. If the games appear on a different device, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app on your Android phone.

    We hope this helps. We're looking forward to your response.



    Sincerely,
