Can You Re-download a Deleted Xbox Live Game? Yes (Usually)

Yes, usually. If you deleted the game from your console, you can re-download it at no extra cost.

How to Re-download

1. Open My Games & Apps on your Xbox.
2. Go to Full Library → All Owned Games (or "Ready to Install").
3. Select the title → Install.

If You Removed It from Your Account (via web/app)

This hides the license. Contact Xbox Support—they can often restore it if you provide proof of purchase.

Exceptions

• Free-to-play titles sometimes disappear from "Owned" after removal.
• Duplicate purchases may not be restorable.
• Delisted games (licensing expired) cannot be re-downloaded unless you already own them.

Pro tip: Before deleting, upload saves to the cloud (Settings → System → Storage → Cloud Saved Games) so progress isn't lost.
