Can't buy games on the windows store.

Vito1108 · Oct 20, 2016

When I tried to buy Gears of War 4 on the windows 10 store I get a message that says "Purchases are blocked, so you’ll need to change the setting to buy this. Go to account.xbox.com > Xbox settings > Privacy & online safety.

I went to the xbox account settings and looked for the option to allow purchases but there was no option available. What do I need to do?

Can't Buy anything on the store

Intente pero me dijeron que eran de Windows and Office y que no podían hacer nada. Me pasaron uno supuestamente para Xbox pero no funcionó y resulte aquí.

Gracias por tu aporte

[Translation -

Try but I was told they were Windows and Office and they couldn't do anything. I passed one supposedly for Xbox but it didn't work and it turns out here.

Thank you for your contribution]

I bought a genuine CD from Jericho, can I change the steam activation code?

The Microsoft store is another DRM service like steam but you can't use a steam activation code on the microsoft store - you will have to buy it digitally on the microsoft store to login to the windows live platform.

That's not true, Xbox users can buy, in example, Fallout76 for €39,90. But Xbox for PC users can't buy this game on Xbox Store or Windows Store

What I wish is that we, Xbox Gamepass for PC subscriptors, besides the free to play subscription games could buy the other titles that Xbox console users have available to buy, for a price lower than other distributors.

You can redeem it on steam.

You can't redeem a steam code on the xbox/microsoft store platform. You MUST buy it digitally on the microsoft store to use it on xbox live/windows live.

i describe you the problem:

I buy a gamepass to try Sea of Thieves with friends, the gamepass is activated and he's working no problem with it.

But when i go on Xbox store & Windows store and type "Sea of thieves" i can't find it (same for every gamepass game)
