    Bought a digital game as a gift, but is not compatible


    I recently had gifted a digital game to my friend, after redeeming the code we had then realized that the game was not compatible with their console and received a "not compatible" on the gifted game in their library. Is there any process to getting the game exchanged for the correct console or a refund to purchase the correct version.

    :)

    I don't know which game or version you bought, but you must have the device it was made for whether console or PC.

    Once redeemed it can't be refunded

    What console does he have and what game

    If it's a xbox og s/x and the game is series only then no you cant

    Now if ita Hogwarts legacy andnyou got deluxe then he got the correct version he just needs to wait till the xbox one version comes out in april

    Series.consoles are just xbox series

    Xbox one games are domt have s or x requirement they are just xbox one

    Correct.

    More and more games will be incompatible with Xbox One or feature separate versions, so you need to look at what you’re buying

    Hogwarts will not have an Xbox One version until April due to production delays

    Hi, thank you for the reply..

    So the game is basically rendered useless on the account unless the individual were to purchase a new console?

    The console is the XBox One and yes the game is Hogwarts Legacy Xbox Series X|S Version
