    I was gifted a game for the wrong region


    My brother gifted me a game and in the email that the code should be in there was no code and the link took me to the store page for the game, but the UK store. My brother and I both live in Australia.

    :)

    I am afraid that you can't do much. Contact support. Maybe they can do something. You can do it here or:

    When you go to Contact Us, follow these steps to request a chat
    with support:



    · Step 1 ----select Xbox One

    · Step 2 ----select see other options then payment and billing

    · Step 3-----select show contact options

    Step 4 ----select chat with support

    There is currently a Xbox Live service alert going on that specifically addresses emails with gift codes not showing the code.

    If your brother did everything right, you should get an updated email with the code after the issue is fixed. Keep a look out on

    https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status


    If that doesn't resolve the issue, your brother has to
    contact the official Xbox support
    to get a refund on that gift.

    After he got the refund, he needs to buy you the game from the correct region.

    Your brother needs to make sure that the store page is from Australia (you can check that in the lower left corner of the website), or if he's buying it from the console, the console has to be set to the correct country and language (i.e. English and Australia).

    Wrong region with gift code

    Hey UmitErtan! Codes can't be replaced unfortunately. You should double check and make sure that your console's region and your physical location match. Thanks!

    country to country

    You cant.

    Gifting is locked to region.

    Both users need to be in the same region to gift games. You cannot gift to any one in another region

    Download code

    Can they try redeeming the code on there account here https://redeem.microsoft.com/enter

    If that fails what is the error they are getting, if its for the wrong region, Gifting is not supported cross region, and you will need to process a refund for this.
