    Received a gift code for CoD MW2 and I tried redeeming through Microsoft store but received a error stating "This product cannot be installed on this PC". It showed up on my Library but still would not download. Freed up some space and rebooted my pc but now the app does not show up in my Microsoft library, tried redeeming it again but code was already used up. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

    Well the instructions on the redeem email says you can install on a PC through Microsoft Store or Xbox app. It's not the first game I've gotten this way so I dont know why it doesn't install or even see it in the library

    You need to address it with the seller

    As mentioned it can't be done it iz only sold on Activision Blizzards store front on steam or battlenet

    As kindgryphon mentioned you can enter the code on PC BUT YOU can't install a xbox console game on a pc

    And the cross gen bundles is the console version and this is why you should always be wary of third party sellers

    I already linked you the offical distribution methods of cod listed on mw II website which stated steam and battlenet are the only two methods for pc and xbox one and series consoles for xbox only

    The instructions may be wrong about that then because the cross gen bundles only include the previous gen and current gen console versions of the game but dont include the PC version.

    According to

    https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-ii-cross-gen-bundle/9NCL5M3V0RSH

    Includes: - Cross Gen Bundle of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II -- Includes Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game

    It says nothing about the PC version being included.

    Well. No because you can't install an xbox game on a pc

    Blizzard does not distribute on the Xbox store the pc version

    You must buy via steam or blizzards own marketplace battlenet

    Whoever gifted you the code would've gifted you the console version

    You would've been gifted via battlenet or steam if they gifted you on those platforms

    If you used a third party service you must address it with them

    Otherwise unfortunately you can't refund it since you consumed the one time use code

    https://www.callofduty.com/ca/en/modernwarfare2/buy

    Those are the supported platforms

    My guess it's because blizzard wants to avoid the 30% fee on pc vs consoles they are currated stores
