Welcome to the fun time of purchasing games online.

A game code redeemed on xbox.com should automatically load up on your console when you sign in with the gamertag that redeemed it.

Press the Guide button on your controller and scroll all the way to the left. Choose Active Downloads to see if the game is currently downloading or in a Pending state. If it is in a Pending state then wait a moment and it will begin to download.

If it is not there double check your downloaded games to see if it is in the list. If it is not there then head to Settings>Accounts>Download History to find the game and begin the download.
