Gift code from another region.

Well no as gifting is region locked

He's going to have to refund it and find another etailer to buy a code from your own region

Gifting is region locked. There is no way around that. Your friend can request a refund and then try purchasing a code from another site that offers a code that would work in your region.

If you are still having issues, it may be that the code you received is not for your region. Was it a gift from another gamer?

Hello!

Gifts are set up by region and will not be redeemable if it was purchased from a different region. Changing consoles region to another region falsely will not change the outcome. The only option would be to have the person that purchased the gift to attempt
to reverse the purchase of the gift as the code will not be able to be redeemed in a different region. Refund Webform

Hope this helps.

Anothrr thing to note

You must be in thr same region as the receiver for the code to work or purchase it from another etailer in the correct region

Prepaid codes are region locked do are gifted games

As the other mentioned origins is no longer available and gifting an game you already own is anothrr purchase not transfering a game
