I bought my friend Rdr2 as a code because it was cheaper and he got the code and everything...

Hello Josh how are you?
My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant. Quite strange that this happens, have you tried logging into your account and looking for the game in the store? See if you can download from the store.

Hi Josh‎ Garner!

Was this redeemed through Microsoft Store/Microsoft account and your friend is playing on PC? If yes, I apologize but the Red Dead Redemption 2 on Microsoft Store is for Xbox consoles only and not for PC.

That's not true because my friends bought the game disc without pre order and got the free code and I thought I would get the code also

indeed the error is on xbox1. I got a redeem code for 2.000.000 gta$ from a friend that bought rdr2. i entered the code but didnt get any money on gta5. it states that i do own the content but yet i didnt get the money on gta5 online. and i cant re-enter
the code as it states that i already own the content. so where's my moneyyyyy! Oh and yes waiting doesnt help as it prompted on xbox1.

I haven't received my code either and I played the online the day after the game was released smh. My best friend got his and he bought the game 3 days after launch.
