  1. Why is my Xbox saying I don’t own games I have purchased and played for years?


    I purchased call of duty modern warfare (2019). After enjoying the game for a year call of duty Cold War came out, and as an avid fan of call of duty I purchased it. Soon after that, whenever trying to play modern warfare, I couldn’t start the game, and it said I didn’t own it. I tried Microsoft support, with zero help or response. Now recently my Xbox is saying I don’t own Cold War. After being hung up on TWICE by Xbox support, I am beyond angry and do not know what to do

    :)

    Why is my Xbox saying I don’t own a disc owned game ??

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you with your concern.

    Kindly remove the disc and then perform a powercycle on your console before inserting the disc and then try playing the game again.

    "POWERCYCLE CONSOLE​​​

    1. Turn off your console by holding the Xbox button on the front of the console for approximately 10 seconds. The console will turn off. ​​​

    2. Turn your console back on by pressing the Xbox button on the console or the Xbox button on your controller. ​​​"

    Why does my Xbox say I don’t own this game

    Hello, SincereFinnthesnowwolf. I'm Arturo, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

    Important: Please refrain from sharing personal information, gamertags, phone numbers, etc.

    As community users like you, we are not able to enter or check your account information, and everything we comment can be seen by anyone on the internet.

    That being said, I would like to ask if after clicking below and using your account, the game gives you the option to install it, or does it say “Buy”?

    https://www.xbox.com/en-us/games/store/Star-Wars-The-Force-Unleashed/BP4TTT81TPPK

    In case it says buy, could you access with every email address you have to the game listing?

    Additionally, please check your Microsoft account order history to see if maybe the game is listed there or not.

    https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders

    Note: Make sure to change the “ordered within” filter to “all available”.

    I'll remain attentive to your comments.

    Regards,

    Arturo.

    Why does it say I don’t own this game?

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, for some reason my Xbox didn't update it since the server slam beta and that's why it thought I didn't own the game. The only trick is you can't try to install it through the store, you'll have to do it through your game library.

    Why does it say I don’t own this game?

    I'm having the same issue and can verify that my card has successfully been charged the $100. I even played the game during the open and closed betas. When I view the game in the store it says I own it, but when I try to play now all it says is insert the disk and an error code: 0x82d40005.
