    xbox app asking me to buy a game i already bought.


    I bought Forza Horizon 4 for windows 2 years ago and deleted it last year because it was taking up too much space. im trying to redownload it but the xbox app and microsoft store are saying i need to buy it. but i already have. when i go to my xbox account it still shows my achievements and play time but it is forcing me to buy the game again. can anyone help?

    :)

    xbox app asking me to buy a game i already bought.

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

    Please review if the base game of Forza Horizon 4 appears in your Microsoft account order history with status completed.

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

    Make sure to select “all available” in the “ordered within” filter.

    In addition to that, it is important to note that having achievements or playtime in a game is not proof of ownership because we can game share with our friends or access to a title via Game Pass.

    Thanks for your attention,

    Arturo.

    How do I START Fallout 4?

    Now, when I put the disc in, I am asked ''do you own this game'' before being directed to the Xbox store to BUY IT! This is really the worst gaming experience I have ever had, not only can I not play the game, Microsoft as asking me to buy a game I have
    already bought.

    Thanks for the replies chaps but I guess its time to pack up the Xbox one and try to get a refund, playing a game shouldn't take over 24 and then ask you to buy something you already bought, I have signed into my friends Xbox one and it works perfectly,
    with the disc so it isn't that.

    Sigh.....waste of time.

    Why is xbox asking me to purchase a game I already bought?

    Hi, Anonymous_268! Thank you for reaching out.
    I'm AJ, an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.
    I'm sorry to hear you are experiencing issues playing CoD: Cold War.

    Would you mind giving these a try? If possible, please try them in this specific order.

    - Eject your disc.
    - Press and hold your console's power button until it shuts down.
    - Unplug your console for 5 minutes.
    - Turn your console on
    - Insert your disc.
    - Try launching the game.

    _______________

    - Launch the Cold War.
    - Without quitting the game, go to My Games & Apps > CoD: Cold War > Manage Game & add-ons > Saved data > Reserved Space > Delete Reserved Space.
    - Try launching the game again

    _______________

    - Go to Settings > System > Updates, and check if there are any pending updates for your console.
    - Go to My Games & Apps > CoD: Cold War > Manage Game & add-ons > Updates. If there are any pending updates for the game, apply them.
    - Go to My Games & Apps > CoD: Cold War > Manage Game & add-ons > Manage installation and check if all available content packs are installed.

    * If you have any bonus content packs for DLC content like in-game cosmetics or currency, please uninstall them temporarily so only the base game and the content packs are installed.
    - Restart your console and launch the game again.

    Please let me know if these work, I'll be looking forward to your reply.
    Best regards.
