Can I refund a game I bought before it was free for xbox Live gold?

You can contact Microsoft chat to see what they say. Or go into your account-billing history and check as some people can self refund if within a certain time frame.

think it all depands how long you have owned the game for.

Hello, PilotPicklez!

I contacted PlayStation Support when I purchased a game on the PlayStation 4 that went on sale the next day or so. Assuming that Microsoft operates in the same way, you might be able to get a refund on your purchase, but that may only result in being credited

Let us know if this helps!
