Fix: Purchased Games & Apps Are Not Showing on Xbox One

Usually, you should be able to find all your purchased items without issues. However, many gamers have noticed that their Xbox One digitally purchased items like games are not showing up in games and apps on different models or in the Microsoft Store on your PC.

If issues like the Microsoft Store payment problems don’t bug you, every purchase you have made should be available on your account. But, If it doesn’t happen, it can bring a lot of frustration. Fortunately, you can overcome this situation easily.

Why can’t I see the game I bought in the Microsoft Store?

If the Microsoft Store is not showing the purchases you have made, it can be due to the following reasons:

• Wrong account: In most cases, users may have multiple accounts, and they can’t remember which account owns their digital purchases.
• Corrupted cache: If the local cache has been corrupted, it may fail to show you the purchased games and apps.
• Problems with the Microsoft Store app: Sometimes, internal problems with the Microsoft Store app can trigger this type of problem.
• Incorrect region settings: Some purchased items may not be available in your region. That’s why you are not seeing them.
• It’s taking time: Some purchases may take up to 24 hours to be visible in your account. So, if you purchased any item a few moments ago on Microsoft Store, it may not appear immediately in your library.

1. Open Microsoft Store on your Windows PC or Xbox.
