Hello HG1231,


Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like you're looking for assistance with accessing your previously purchased game on your iPhone, right?


If we have that correct, let's see if the following steps help with allowing you to download this without purchasing it again. You can also find additional steps in this resource: Redownload apps and games from Apple - Apple Support


How to redownload apps on iPhone or iPad

1. Open the App Store app.

2. Tap the sign-in button  or your photo at the top of the screen.

3. Tap Purchased.

4. If you use Family Sharing, tap My Purchases or choose a family member’s name to see content that they purchased.

5. Tap "Not on this [device]."

6. Find the app that you want to download, then tap the download button .

Learn what to do if you can't redownload the app. If you can't find the app on your device, use the App Library to find the app.


If you don't see this listed, confirm if you purchased this with the current signed in Apple ID information. You can review your purchase history using the steps of the following resource: View your purchase history for the App Store, iTunes Store, and other Apple media services - Apple Support


Should you need additional assistance, contact Apple Support directly for assistance with this.


Have a great day!
