  1. Can i switch my digital code for a physical copy?


    Im looking to buy the gears of war 4 limited edition xbox one, but i dont want the digital game. I much rather have the ultimate edition physical copy of game. So is it possible to switch? Im a huge gears fan and this is something i want, but i wont buy
    if i have to buy the game all over again just to have the physical copy.

    :)

    Disks!

    I like seeing my collection on my shelf. I can understand the love for digital because its easier to switch between games but theres nothing like having a physical copy.

    trading in physical game for digital copy

    Hi Coll,

    There is no exchange program to switch a physical disc for a digital download. For digital downloads, you will need to purchase the game from the Xbox Store, although you could of course use money from a currency/gift card that can be bought at a physical
    retailer like Gamestop.

    Can i switch my digital code for a physical copy?

    You would have to contact the retailer you're wanting to purchase the console from to see if that is something they could do. Microsoft doesn't swap digital copies for physical copies.
