Xbox – What will happen if I already own the game and it turns out to be free with Xbox live Games with gold

xbox-livexbox-one

Hi I recently bought a game from Microsoft store, which turned out to be free with Xbox games with gold this month.

I already have the Xbox live gold subscription and when I browse the Games with gold section on my Xbox, it says "Owned" under that particular game (which is obvious). Will there be any alternate game title option to choose from? or anything else if this condition is met?

I had a look at Games with Gold for Xbox FAQ, and I couldn't find such clause in it.

Nope. There is no alternative game option. The advantage here is since you actually purchased the game, if you let your gold subscription end, you can still access the game.
