    I want to gift a game to a friend in another country but can't, so I'm wondering if it will work, if I change my region to their country, and then gift them the game ? Or does my IP also have to be in the same region ?

    :)

    Can I gift a game to a friend that lives in another country if I change my region to their country before I buy it ?

    Hello Tyler S, my name is zahir, a independent advisor.

    You are such a good friend.

    Unfortunately No. Gifting through Xbox is region locked. You would have to see if you can get a code that will work for their region from a different retailer.

    And even if you change your location and manage to send the game to him, he wont be able to play it.

    Im sorry about this.

    Regards
    Zahir

    Gifting through Xbox is region locked. So you cannot send a gift to a friend in another country. You would have to purchase it from another retailer for that country.

    Hello NoRTher,

    Redeeming Xbox Gift Cards from Different Regions

    Unfortunately that is not possible. I've made gift purchases and neither of my friends living in a different region could gain access to retrieve the gift because they lived in a different country.

    A friend bought me a game but I can't use the code

    Unfortunately you can't gift games if your friend lives in a different country. He will have to either gift to another friend in the US or request a refund. It does state at purchase that gifting is only available in the same country.
