    Gifts from different regions


    I really think the whole issue not being able to gift people things from different regions should be changed. My friends from Canada tried to gift me the ARK Season Bundle that's on sale right now. I live in the U.S. and I find it annoying how I can't
    go into Scorched Earth with them and now I have to stay on The Island. If anyone can help me out, I'd love that. They're leaving to go to Scorched Earth in about two weeks. Thank you Microsoft!

    :)

    Gifts from different regions

    Hi, I believe two of the main reasons gift giving is restricted to within the same reason are because of price differences across global regions, and because of different regional laws regarding digital purchases such as refund policies. I'm not 100% certain,
    but I believe these are main factors in why gift giving is restricted by region and might be impossible to implement otherwise on the current Xbox One storefront.

    Your best bet is probably to try to arrange for them to gift you the corresponding funds using a service like PayPal as suggested above if possible, and then use the funds to purchase the bundle directly. Hope this helps!

    I haven't tried it myself but you could try to purchase it or a gift card from the Canada Microsoft site and then send him the code I believe you should be able to use your PayPal account to complete the order hope this helps

    gift uit andere region ontvangen [Translation - Gift from other region received ]

    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.

    Hello again, I'm not referring to the place that rescued the gift card, but the origin of it, the region of the gifts, is certainly from a different region, and so the values appear separate.
