My Friend Gave Me GTA 5 But it Was From A Different Region

What you can do (not recommended) is that your friend redeem the code directly to your account, for this you would have to lend your account

Hi -EvilQueen-

Thank you for taking the time to post on the Xbox Forums. Seeing that your question has been answered, we will be locking the thread in order to prevent repetitive answers that would bump the thread. If you have any other questions or concerns, please

Thank you again and have a great day!

if your friend is in a different region, he would have to try finding a code from a retailer that sells them for your region. Gifting through Xbox is region locked and Microsoft will not swap the code from a different region.

although console is region free, the store is not. that is, if the game is physical or international code will suit you on any xbox. if it is purchased as a gift can only be redeemed in the store of that country and with connection in that country

My friend is from Argentina gave me 2 games but he won't let me redeem them for the region and told me to use a vpn to redeem
