    Is there a way to change the region of my purchase? I bought the 3 months for $1.00 special over Christmas (in Costa Rica), and am now unable to use it now that I am home.

    Thanks!

    :)

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    No there isn't, you'll have to wait until the subscription expires or cancel it and get one from your current region.

    Side Note:- You can try changing your store region here to see if that helps https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    Region switched to SA, can't download Black Ops II season pass.

    or if you purchased the season pass while in the US

    because the US content is region locked you forfeited it

    now your physical region and account region must match

    if you had bought the seasons pass while having in the SA account that would work

    So i have gamepass ultimate and it works fine on my Xbox series S but not with my PC, what to do?

    It's working ss intended you just misunderstanding how it's intended

    One you can ONLY use. Region locked content while.in your region

    Since you purchased it in Finland you can only use region locked content IN FINLAND

    THIS INCLUDES cloud games and bc titles

    You can use pc titles but not cloud titles

    I'm.assuming you are trying to use cloud since you don't have your Xbox with you

    You can sign into.the Xbox app from another region BUT you can't use cloud play while outside your home region so if you are trying to access rckoud play that would return the error

    Keep.in mind you can't redeem .or.earn MS Rewards points outside your home.region

    Can one share Game Pass Ultimate with family member across regions?

    I think on your Xbox you would need his account (that with Game Pass Ultimate) and that Xbox has to be configured as "home" console. Then all accounts on that console can share gold/ultimate.

    HOWEVER, if he has purchased his subscription in a different region you may run into issues. On the other hand I traveled with my Xbox to a different region and it worked fine and I logged into my Xbox account on an Xbox in a different region and it all worked fine for the content that was available for that region.

    I am not sure how this translate to playing on a PC. Because now there is no "home console" and I am not aware you can declare a "home PC" in that way to share subscriptions.

    Also, the Microsoft family settings are different from setting a console as "home" - ALL accounts on that console share the gold/ultimate regardless of being part of the family or not.

    No, I've purchesed the game while I was in other region. Now that I've bought it I can't play? No refunds?
