Minecraft Dungeons was released on May 26 and it is already facing a bug where players encounter that their ownership of the game is not established.

Minecraft Dungeons takes a spin of the original game as it goes for a more adventurous and combat approach to the game rather than creating, building and farming. The game was just released but has already faced bugs and issues despite the games hit so far.

Minecraft Dungeons Ownership Not Established: What is The Bug and How to Fix

Players of Minecraft Dungeons were faced with a pop-up bug that said "game ownership not established" and denied their access to the game they bought. The bug has been noticed on Windows users (PC) the most, but has also been seen on other platforms.

Best (Suggested) Method

  • Contact Minecraft and developers Mojang, support pages, whether on a web-page, Twitter or Reddit.

Other (Unconfirmed/Mixed Results) Methods

  • Click 'Try Again' or 'Retry' again till it works
  • Give the game a break and try again later
  • Delete and re-download the game

Minecraft and Mojang have taken notice and fixed the issue along the way to smooth out the process for players in the early hours of the games release. By sunrise they have established that the issue has been fixed for a majority of the players and that they should be and have been able to access the game. Whilst they acknowledge that there is some that are still experiencing the issue, it should not be long before they too also gain access to the game.

Minecraft Dungeons is available for purchase digitally on Windows (PC), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and Xbox Game Pass for $19.99 (Standard Edition) or $29.99 (Hero's Edition).
