can i use a xbox giftcard to buy minecraft on pc

Hi Sampath, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor, and I am here to help you with your concern.

Yes, you can use an Xbox Gift Card to buy Minecraft or other games on the Microsoft Store.

Wait cant i do it like this

Redeem 2 $25 xbox giftcards first. Then go to minecraft and click buy. Then select the microsoft balance option ( money from redeeming giftcards). Then wait for it to purchase. Then go into the xbox app and go to minecraft and enter the game. Then login into the acc that has it. Then i can play minecraft java and bedrock edition. This is another way right? Like i can redeem multiple giftcards until it reaches $40 and then i buy minecraft and play it. Does this work aswell?

But do i use my xbox account to play minecraft?

And you can redeem a code for minecraft java and bedrock edition from a xbox giftcard rather than a microsoft giftcard right?

Hello Monish B! I'm Annanda and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

Did you try to use your Xbox Gift Card to your currency to your Microsoft account balance? Gift cards need to be redeemed on your account as currency, so you can use them to buy games and Dlcs. With that, you can use your Microsoft Account Balance to buy Robux.

To redeem your code follow these steps:

Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One:

Press the Xbox button  to open the guide, and then select Store.

Press the View button  to open the side menu, and then select Redeem.

Enter the 25-character code, select Next, and then follow the prompts.

On your PC and Mobile Browser:

Follow the link below, enter your 25-character code, select Next, and then follow the prompts:

https://account.microsoft.com/billing/redeem?refd=account.microsoft.com

Microsoft Store on Windows:

Press the Start button , and then enter the store into the search bar.

Choose Microsoft Store from the results to open the app.

Select your account in the top-right corner of the screen, and then select Redeem code or gift cards.

Enter the 25-character code, select Next, and then follow the prompts.

On Xbox App for Windows:

Press the Start button , and then enter Xbox into the search bar.

Choose the Xbox app from the results to open the app.

Select Redeem under Redeem a code.
