​Gift game code

There is no way to gift a game over Live. Really the only way is by buying them a gift card, or code for the game if it's available, and give them the code.

Hi there Josh,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the issue with Microsoft Gifting.

Here are some resources on Microsoft Gifting:

• Help with giving digital games as gifts
• Learn about gift cards and codes

Hope this helps.

I don't know if it's because it's still a pre-order, but that game can't currently be gifted (gifting is still a thing but not all games can be gifted). You could buy an Xbox gift card and give him the code. You can get digital codes through microsoftstore.com
or places like Amazon.

Hello!

If you purchase a digital game as a gift, my understanding is that it immediately gifts it to them and applies to their account as if they purchased it themselves. You would have to purchase a digital code for the game (if available) in order to receive a
code.

When you buy as a gift, it asks for an email address and sends a code to that email first.

Hi Ali,

Thanks for coming to the forums with your question. Its most likely a general rule it can take 24 hours. We recommend waiting until then and if you do not get the codes then get with your friend. As they may be able to see the code gifted to you. You can
read over
digital games as gifts for more information.

This is what the gifter can do if you do not get the code:

Have the gift recipient check their email junk folder. If the gift isn’t there, do the following:

1. Go to
   account.microsoft.com/billing/orders and look for the item.
2. Select View gift code. If the code was redeemed, check the name it was sent to.
   
3. If the code is still active, select View gift code and then
   Copy. Paste the gift code into the body of an email and send it to the recipien

Thanks,

Brad
