    Gifting a game to a friend in a different country


    Hey guys! I gifted a game to my friend and he can't redeem the code due to the fact that he lives in a different country. What options do I have to resolve this. I'm not seeing a refund option in my order history. I'd appreciate the help solving this.

    :)

    A friend bought me a game but I can't use the code

    Unfortunately you can't gift games if your friend lives in a different country. He will have to either gift to another friend in the US or request a refund. It does state at purchase that gifting is only available in the same country.

    code not redeemable because of region, seller is literally xbox microsoft store

    There are a couple of reasons gifts are region locked, taxation laws in different Countries and game licence within each Country. It does state at point of purchase that gifts are region locked. Your friend will have to attempt a refund. Sorry.

    Redeeming Xbox Gift Cards from Different Regions

    Unfortunately that is not possible. I've made gift purchases and neither of my friends living in a different region could gain access to retrieve the gift because they lived in a different country.

    Gifting a game to a different country

    If I change my xbox location settings to France and then gift the game from the French xbox store, would that work do you think?
