If I’m on Xbox and I want to gift a game to a pc user does the code work for pc

When you look at the ms store page make sure it says Pc requirements

Don't buy from your console

As long as the game you're buying is a Play Anywhere title, it'll also work on PC.

Does the code appear in your purchase history and is the status ''redeemed''?

Click on the game icon in your purchase history, a new Microsoft tab will open, check if ''Playable on'' appears on consoles or PC. If PC appears, it means that your friend gave you the PC version and you can only use the content on the PC.

There is no way to exchange or ask for a refund, as the code was used.

Ahh yes thank you that was the issue he gifted me the PC version of the upgrade thank you for the help. I'm not sure how the gifting feature works when on separate platforms but i assume PC can only gift PC versions and vice versa for Xbox

The Nitro gift is only available for Xbox Game Pass users. if you are an Pc Game Pass user, it won't work, sorry.

I have the same issue, if I force quit the game bar and relaunch it then I invite someone who is a XBOX user it will work but if I add a PC user it does not work for them. Also, if I force quit the app and the xbox user invites me it does not work same
if the PC user invites me. The issue seems to be with the PC app.
