Hey, so I'm from the United States and my friend he lives in the UK how would I gift him a...

You can't. Gifting is region locked so the code would only work in the US. You would have to try to find a site that would sell codes for their region.

There is currently no way to gift content to a user outside your region. If you can find a 3rd party retailer like amazon that sells MS currency for that region you can always send them that code and then let them buy it for themselves.

Thanks for your reply. I will try buying a UK gift card on Amazon or Ebay, and send my friend the information he needs to redeem the code. I just hope that when he redeems the gift card, it lets him buy UK region stuff with it, even though I purchased it
in the United States.

how can i redeem the code for the game

my friend gifted me a game but he is in uk an im in us

The short answer: you cant

The long answer: gifting is region locked (something your friend would have gotten a warning about before completing the purchase) so a friend with an account in one country would only be able to gift to other friends with an account in the same country.

Your friend would have to request a refund from their end.

Hi there,

If your friend lives in the UK for example, you can buy a gift for him from the UK Xbox store by using Xbox gift card only "Microsoft Balance"

Thank you!

(I have everything right but it doesn't work)

I'm in Puerto Rico

I don't know, my friend gave it to me

The gift card is from The USA

My Microsoft account region is United States.
