    Gifting a game to another player in a different country?


    I was wondering how I would go about gifting a game to someone not in the same country as my own, since Microsoft changed the way their gifting system works.

    Gifting a game to another player in a different country?

    There's no way I could change my Xbox's location to a different country, then purchasing the game that way?

    Nope that wouldn't work

    Your payment method must match said region

    This is a anti fraud move

    Keeps people who steal account from monetizing their gain

    Your only option is to find an etailer and take the risk yourself

    You would have to find a site that sells codes that would work in their country.

    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.
