can I buy a game for someone in another country?

Gifting is region locked. So you wouldn't be able to buy it through Xbox for your wife since she isn't in the same region. You would have to try to find a Mexican code from another retailer or give her to money to buy it.

Hey there AdoredManager74,

She would need to make the purchase at a local retailer in Sweden to make that happen. There isn't a way to purchase currency across regions like that.

Are buying a digital copy as a gift to someone else another region other than yours? Or do you own the game and playing on a different console in another region?

This is from Xbox website regarding playing a game in a different region.

If I purchase a game in one country or region, can I play it in another country or region?

Yes. There is no playback restriction on games purchased and downloaded.

For example, if you purchase and download a game in one country and then move to another country where the game isn’t available, you can still play the game that you downloaded. However, you would not be able
to redownload the game you purchased, as it would not be available for you to download in the Store

Did you get this gift from someone in another country, or did he buy it from the same country you live in?

You can buy a digital game as a gift as long as it is not for another country
