Game code not working, language and region

For the language it will depend on the game and what the publishers/developers have added. Usually the language depends on the region you're downloading from, but if they have added other languages you can change that in game.

Currency will only work in the region it was created for. So if you were to buy a code in Germany, it will only work for a German account.

Ok so i found out the issue here and the "region" everyone is talking about.

These Gears promotional keys are only US region.

No that's not how the codes work we already went over this

OK this is an old picture we used to use when people don't get how the games work

Account region :us

physical region: russia

Code region :universal

Language English

= failure

Account region russia

Physical region russia

Language english

= failure

Account region russia

Physical region russia

Language russia

= bliss

Somehoe I think the codes are not really sorted for any country region.

Try to switch your console-settings to language: English and Region: UK

Then use your code to download, after that switch back to your language/region and register.

Should work, it worked for me, I live in Germany.

The codes are universal

However if you set your language to us it won't work

Account region

Physical region

Language and console has to match

When we say account region you must follow the links provided as your region on your console has no bearing on your account region

if the codes are universal why can't I redeem it? redeem itself should be possible regardless any region settings then...

both account and physical region is hungary. language can be set to english only, no hungarian language yet despite there is a hungarian region, officially (not a problem for me just saying).

I know the difference between xbox360 region / xbox one region / website region / store region etc - ALL set to hungary. Still the code I got does not work.

(to be honest it is my friend's account as I have the game already... I want to redeem it on his account)

Yes it will work since the xbox codes are not region locked and they are valid worldwide, if you redeem the code when you have already set the xbox as russian the game will be installed directly with the russian language, if you change the language/region
after you have redeemed the code you will find an update when you will start the game (normally are few MB of download)
