    I Will Not Buy From Xbox Until... - Refund Issue, Unplayable Game


    I understand this a community thread and no one here is likely to be capable of helping me but I need to express this issue in hopes someone at Xbox might see it. I want Xbox to fix this issue I am having and I have gone through several channels. I've been rejected for a refund several times despite having a broken game. Allow me to explain...

    I purchased a copy of Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition in February of this year for my sister as a digital gift via my account. She received her code and redeemed it, but couldn't play the game until May as she only ones an Xbox One S. Fast forward to May when she downloads the game to fill her time as she has just given birth. However, after a few hours of play and a few days later an issue came up. Despite owning the deluxe edition which has both the Xbox Series X/S version and the Xbox One version included; the store said she no longer owned the game. We went through a series of steps with Xbox support chat including uninstalling and reinstalling the game, all the way through factory resetting the Xbox twice. None of these efforts solved the issue leaving our support tech at a loss. He then suggested buying a new copy of just the Xbox One version and refunding the old deluxe edition. So my sister did this and bought the Xbox One edition alone which worked fine.

    I then pursued a refund on my account for the deluxe edition through the request refund option below the regular refund area because the code had been redeemed (this is where you fill out a form and send the request by email). I was rejected for this refund and then I sent another request explaining the issue further and how the game doesn't work, I was rejected again because the game had been played even though it doesn't work anymore. I then called Microsoft support to talk to a person who told me they had no method of refunding the game and that I should dispute the transaction.

    I followed their advice and disputed the transaction through PayPal and despite offering clear evidence with screenshots of the purchased copy and how it does not display as purchased, I was rejected yet again. Suffice to say I am at my wits end with this as $112 has been effectively stolen from me because the game CANNOT BE PLAYED.

    I have since cancelled my game pass and I will not purchase another title until this issue is solved, if it is never solved then I will buy competing consoles. I am hoping this post might gain some traction for Xbox to notice and help me. I have had Gamepass for years, bought hundreds of games, and I have owned every Xbox since the original. It has also been very difficult to talk to a real person over the phone during this process (within the refund department) and I am convinced that if I could explain this to a real person with some amount of power we could solve this problem.

    All I wanted to do was buy my sister a game for her birthday and help make her pregnancy a little easier, and I have been screwed by Xbox.

    :)

    I Will Not Buy From Xbox Until... - Refund Issue, Unplayable Game

    I have also been denied my money back for digital games that I can no longer play due to updates ruining the game. Now I realize my household is going to help keep gamestop in business, only get physical copies and switch to Playstation.

    Having issues playing and installing Halo 4

    Well known error, see Halo Waypoint Issues being investigeted. It has been four weeks, and no fix in sight. None of the suggestions you will get here or elsewhere will unfortunately work. They did not beta test. Try to return the game as it is unplayable
    on many xboxs and get a refund.

    Tragic end to the franchise, IMO. I will never buy another launch title from 343 again.

    Patch 1.3

    Backwards flying is an issue though,there is a quest to kill a certain dragon(after 1.2 which was to fix that issue and dragons no engaging you in fights)Well this certain dragon does all that flies backwards and everything else BUT won't engage in combat
    and even flies to a spot that you can't even hit him with anything,once he hits that spot on the map the game starts to lag like crazy(until you get out of the location).

    Broken quests is a game ender,i will not wait until man. warrenty is out of effect for a fix.

    Being the quests lines ARE broken it means Bethesda SOLD AN UNPLAYABLE TITLE AND A FULL REFUND IS IN ORDER.(NOT STORE CREDIT,unless you paid with a CC;cash refund)

    Then wait for about a year until it's finally fixed,then buy it at sale price.

    Xbox will not give me a refund for Cyberpunk 2077

    I have the same problem, I pre ordered the game but was not charged for it until the 5th of December which hurt us financially to start with. The game is unplayable in it's current form and I requested a refund on the 15th of December, well before the
    14 days. I was denied and they closed the case so to speak. Then I received a message from Xbox on my console saying "Recently you were denied a refund for Cyberpunk 2077. Since then we expanded our policy to offer refunds for this game. If you still want
    a refund, please reply to the refund decision email we sent you and we'll approve it, or visit support.xbox.com/contact-us to request a call or chat." Still waiting to hear from them.
