  1. help! cannot redeem game, getting "you can't acquire this item in the language you have...


    i just bought a new gears of war 4 which includes codes for the xbox 360 gears of war collection. but on redeeming the codes i always get a "cannot redeem code on your current language" error. so i changed the language of my xbox to english and location
    to United States and still getting the said error. i even tried using the xbox app on my android phone and logged in with my xbox account i still get the said error.

    for the second part of my problem, while on the xbox app on my phone i tried redeeming other codes in the xbox 360 gears of war collection, upon entering the codes for gears of war 2 it seemed to confirmed the redeeming the game. but the game doesnt show
    on my xbox and redeeming the game doesnt show on my order history. i tried using again the code and it says " code has been redeemed"

    please help me with my inquiry, any help is much appreciated

    :)

    help! cannot redeem game, getting "you can't acquire this item in the language you have currently selected"

    Hi there RafaelSanti22

    It might be what region you are on stopping to code possibly, It is a shame you have encountered this issue, Also I would have to say if it is saying redeemed and it is a pre owned it could also be the problem if pre owned but, I can only suggest double
    check all the codes on the xbox.com website on your profile if that still refuses to work then reach out to staff via this method below.

    Please log in to the linked website https://support.xbox.com/en-US/contact-us >> Press billing and accounts >> When virtual assistant pops up check other options >>
    Under payment issues press Cannot redeem a code >> Show contact options >> Chat with xbox support..

    They might be able to tell you the reason why.

    Hi Rafael,

    Thanks for reaching out to us today. I'm sorry to hear about the current issue when trying to redeem the game. If you already redeemed one of the game codes it should show up under your

    order history.
    Double check which account you signed in through when trying to redeem the codes. Also, did you have a different region selected before purchasing this?

    In this case since it is a billing issue I would recommend to
    contact Customer Support.

    We on the forums don't have the tools to help with this. When you go to
    Contact Usto request a callback, follow these steps:

    • Step 1 ----Select Xbox One
    • Step 2 ----Select See other options
    • Step 3 ----Select topic
    • Step 4 ----Select "Show contact options"
    • Step 5 ----Select request a call from support

    Once they call, explain the issue and they will be able to help you.

    I hope this information helps.

    Wrong Language/region

    Changing language/region to English USA did not help. The message was the same: "you can't acquire this item in your currently selected language".

    You can't acquire this item in the language you have currently selected

    That would explain it. Seems you have to be patient or reach at chat support to check this out.

    You can't acquire this item in the language you have currently selected

    Try migrating your account region again http://live.xbox.com/accountmigration Sometimes accounts don't migrate properly on the 360 side of things so it would see you as
    still being in Ireland and would send up a region error.
