How do i gift a game to friend who has an Xbox one

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! My name is Christian, an independent advisor. I'm here to help you out.

Yes, you can send the Ultimate Edition as gift for your friend, and it will still work on his Xbox One console. You can purchase it by going to this link:

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/diablo-i...

Click on the gift icon and provide the email address of your friend to send the gift.

Then have him redeem the 25-character codes on redeem.microsoft.com.

Note: Please make sure to purchase the game on the same region as your friend otherwise he will not be able to redeem the codes due to regional discrepancy.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Christian.

Hi! If I understand you correctly, what you want to do is purchasing a game as a 'gift' which then allows you to send the code/key for the game to your friend (who has to be from the same region as you).

Hello

I was looking forward to gift the preorder for Modern Warfare to a friend who plays on Xbox (i'm on pc).

I already got some money in my microsoft account yet i cannot buy the game as a gift. Every other game has no problem, this is the only one i noticed.

Do i have to wait until the release date to gift? or it's just ungiftable?

Thanks

Hey there

Correct you cant gift preorders from the microsoftstore you would need to wait till the game releases before you can gift it to them. Or you can preorder the game from a 3rd party like Amazon and send it to them.

FAQ Xbox Gifting

so how do I go about joining this july update, do I still need to be invited by a "friend who has it" what if all my friends only own xbox 360s and I'm the only xbox one user.

I have a friend who's not from the states but is a friend of mine on my Xbox one console. Now I remember exclusively that if you wanted to buy a friend a gift from the Microsoft Store you can! But nobody told me about regions. So I assumed that
it was possible to do through the Microsoft Store. It turned out that I could not buy my friend a gift from the Microsoft Store. I was upset by this! So I started to chat with Xbox about how I bought my friend who is not from the states a game. Yet my friend
is on my Xbox one console. Once my friend had told me that it would not work on my friend Xbox one console I was upset by this as previously said. So Xbox help me get my refund back, and yet it was the game I wanted to buy for my friend but because of regions
issues I could not buy the game that I wanted to buy for my friend because of regional issues. Than Xbox gave me different ways of getting the game for my friend who is not from the states. And I looked at Xbox ways of looking at how I can buy my friend the
game. Once I look at Xbox ways of how to get the game for my friend. I said no to their ways. I don't want to be going from point A, to point B, to point C, with ads popping up. Than I said to the agent at Xbox on the chat. I thought that's what the Microsoft
Store is for? Not to keep going from point A, to point B, to point C just for one game! That makes no sense? Listen! I have no disrespect for Major Nelson that man has shown me 8 or 9 years of the Xbox 360, before the Xbox one console came out, and at the
time of the Xbox one console has been launched in 2013 at 500GB so I respect Major Nelson. But! did you guy's hear him say anything about regions for buying a friend a gift? What I did hear him say was about using your friends gamer tag if they were on your
friends list or e-mail. My whole entire point is that the Microsoft Store should always be the one place to go to regardless of currency you have or what region you live in. And. why should you keep going from point A, to point B, to point C . When everything
is right here on the Microsoft Store on your Xbox one console and other devices? Think about that. Wouldn't you want to do it all in one shot regardless of your currency and region you live in?

Unfortunately you cant give a game to someone from a different region
