    i gift friend game they cant install

    Hi! My name is Ben an Independent Advisor and an Xbox gamer. Hope you are doing well!

    Just to clarify, you are both in the same region where you purchased the game as a gift correct? So long as you are both in the same region, there shouldn't be a problem redemeing the code to his account.

    I suggest to try asking your friend if he is somehow using any VPN or might be that the region of his account is not correct as that could cause problem redeeming a code. Try asking your friend to check his Xbox account region by signing in at https://account.xbox.com/en-gb/Settings/Home then go to "Xbox 360 account region" and ask him to check if it is correct. Note: If he change the region it will take 3 months before he can change it again.

    I would like to share this link as well for further troubleshooting for Xbox codes which might help https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptio...

    I hope the information helps somehow. Feel free to post back if you have other questions and we will try with the best of our knowledge to assist you.

    Kind regards,

    How to buy a game for a friend in another region

    You cant gift a friend a game. And buying currency wont work either because of the exchange rate.

    my friend gifted me a game.

    how can i redeem the code for the game

    my friend gifted me a game but he is in uk an im in us
    The short answer: you cant

    The long answer: gifting is region locked (something your friend would have gotten a warning about before completing the purchase) so a friend with an account in one country would only be able to gift to other friends with an account in the same country.

    Your friend would have to request a refund from their end.

    How do you pre-order digital game copies?

    Also gifting digital games is a MUST needed option...if i want to buy 4 digital copies and give them out to 4 friends then I should be able to..or if I hate a digital game and there ISNT a needed trade in/resell button then its MY right to be able to gift
    that same game(code and all) to a friend...why can we not have that option? Please tell me why I cant gift something I bought...love to read you defend corporate anti-consumerism more.
